Demand BA Quantity Refer to Externality graph above. Point A is the current equilibrium level of output of this product and point B is the socially optimal level of output for the society. S is the supply curve that includes private costs. St is the supply curve that includes public costs. The graph indicates that there is (arc): O a. positive externalities from product production. O b. spillover costs from the production of this product. Oc. spillover benefits to the production of this product. O d. an underallocation of resources to product production. Price %24

Private solutions to correct for externalities Consider the following scenario: Suppose that a chicken farm uses a nearby stream to dispose of the wastes released by its chickens. These wastes flow downstream into a lake that has become thick with algae and polluted by the minerals in the waste matter. The local office of a nonprofit environmental organization collects enough donations to fund a campaign to stop the farm's pollution. Which of the following types of private solutions to the externality of pollution has occurred in this case? O Charities O Integration of different types of businesses through merger or acquisition O Moral codes and social sanctions O Contracts It's important to note that sometimes private solutions to externalities do not work. For example, this occurs when an excessive amount of time or money must be spent for parties to reach an agreement. This describes the problem of Grade It Now Save & Continue…

1. Externalities - Definition and examples An externality arises when a firm or person engages in an activity that affects the wellbeing of a third party, yet neither pays nor receives any compensation for that effect. If the impact on the third party is adverse, it is called a v externality. The following graph shows the demand and supply curves for a good with this typé of externality. The dashed drop lines on the graph reflect the market equilibrium price and quantity for this good. Adjust one or both of the curves to reflect the presence of the externality. If the social cost of producing the good is not equal to the private cost, then you should drag the supply curve to reflect the social costs of producing the good; similarly, if the social value of producing the good is not equal to the private value, then you should drag the demand curve to reflect the social value of consuming the good.

By imposing a tax on the production of electricity equal to the cost of acid rain, the government will cause electric utilities to internalize the externality. As a consequence, the cost of the acid rain will become a OA. social cost borne by the public, and the demand curve for electricity will shift down. OB. social cost borne by the public, and the demand curve for electricity will shift up. C. private cost borne by the utilities, and the supply curve for electricity will shift down.

One way governments can charge firms for pollution rights is by imposing a per-unit tax on emissions. A tax (or price in this case) of $ of particulate matter emitted will achieve the desired level of pollution. ? per ton Now suppose the U.S. government does not know the demand curve for pollution and, therefore, cannot determine the optimal tax to achieve the desired level of pollution. Instead, it auctions off tradable pollution permits. Each permit entitles its owner to emit one ton of particulate matter per day. To achieve the socially optimal quantity of pollution, the government auctions off 120 million…

Its total cost functionis C(QA) = 125 + 8QA + 5QA2, where QA is leather production per week in thousands of pounds.a) If leather sells for $408 per thousand pounds, how much leather will All-Leather produce?How much profit does All-leather earn?Enjoy is a beverage company located on Lake Michigan near All-Leather in Chicago. Enjoy’sproduction of beverages is negatively affected by water pollution from All-Leather’s productionof leather.
