Cooler Green Inc. is developing technology to make AC systems that use less electricity. If successful, the technology will significantly reduce the amount of energy that is wasted due to product inefficiencies. If the firm sells only in response to the market price, the quantity shown in the third column of the table below is supplied. If the firm were also to receive the broader social benefits of the new technology, the willingness to supply is shown in the fourth column. Quantity Supplied Price Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied (private) (with social benefits) $150 800 500 710 160 740 540 740 170 680 580 770 180 620 620 800 190 560 660 830 200 500 700 860 According to the table, answer the following: 1. If the firm were to receive a price based only on private benefits, what would be the equilibrium price and quantity? 2. If the firm were to receive a price based on both private and social benefits, what would be the equilibrium price and quantity?

The market for organic and locally sourced foods has skyrocketed over the past decade as consumers focus on improving their eating habits. However, severe droughts have caused organic food prices to rise significantly, forcing many consumers to shop at conventional supermarkets (which are increasingly adding organic food options) instead of organic food markets such as Whole Foods. In response, companies such as Whole Foods have begun offering more nonorganic options on their store shelves in order to provide their consumers with more affordable options. Based on this response, what did companies such as Whole Foods realize about the elasticity of demand for organic foods that caused them to lower their prices by changing the type of foods they sell?

Steve and Michelle are farmers who sell their surplus manure to other local farmers. Manure is sold by the cubic yard. (Dirt, soil, mulch etc. are often sold by this measurement.) Steve and Michelle have no costs of production. (Buyers come and pick up their manure themselves.) Market demand is given as P = 96 - 4Q, MR = 96 - 8Q, and MC = ATC = 0. Complete parts a through d below. ..... a) If Steve and Michelle agree to split the monopoly outcome, how much would each farmer produce and what would be the individual profits? Each farmer would produce 6 cubic yard(s). The profit for each farmer would be $ 288 b) Suppose Steve decides to cheat on the agreement and produces 7 cubic yards. What is Steve's profit now? What is Michelle's profit now? Steve's profit is now $ Michelle's profit is now $ c) Suppose Michelle considers retaliation and thinks about producing 7 cubic yards.
