**Transcription for Educational Website:****Figure: Output Levels II**The socially optimal output level could be achieved by a government quota of:- ○ 250 units of electricity.- ○ approximately 212 units of electricity.- ○ 175 units of electricity.- ○ 100 units of electricity.**Graph Explanation:**The graph presents the relationship between price and quantity of electricity, with two key curves and a demand line:- **Price Axis (vertical):** Ranges from $0 to $100.- **Quantity of Electricity Axis (horizontal):** Ranges from 0 to 500 units.**Curves:**- **SMC (Social Marginal Cost):** An upward-sloping orange line, indicating the additional cost incurred by society for each additional unit of electricity.- **S = MC (Supply equals Marginal Cost):** A red upward-sloping line, usually representing the supply curve in traditional economic models.- **D (Demand):** A downward-sloping blue line, reflecting the relationship between price and the quantity demanded by consumers.The socially optimal output level is where the **SMC** intersects with the **D** curve, suggesting the production level where social costs and consumer demand are balanced. The graph suggests this point is approximately 212 units of electricity.

The socially optimal point is where the allocation of resources maximizes overall societal welfare,…

Consider the supply of soybeans in South America and the demand for soybeans in China. Draw a graph in which you show the current market equilibrium price of soybeans and quantity of soybeans traded. Include the curve that shows the true social costs of soybean production. Show the socially optimal amount of soybeans traded. Show the price that should really be charged for soybeans to ensure that production moves to the socially optimal level. Ensure that you label your graph correctly (all curves, axes, prices and quantities labeled). Show the deadweight loss of soybean production. What intervention could be used to change the market price for soybeans to the level that would move the quantity of soybeans traded to the optimal level? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.
