- Mike, Rosie, and Shobber live in separate houses along a dark and windy road. The following represent their marginal benefits for street lights: MBMike=200-2QM MBRosie=100-QR MBShobber=100-2QS where QM represents the quantity of street lights consumed by Mike, QR is the quantity of street lights consumed by Rosie and QS is the quantity of street lights consumed by Shobber. The Mayor of their town considers street lights to be a public good and is charged with purchasing the optimal number of street lights from Boone’s Light Shop. Boone’s is willing to sell street lights for $150 per light. b. What quantity of street lights should the Mayor purchase? Why? Suppose the Mayor is able to implement a pricing scheme to charge users for the illumination services. c. How much should each individual be charged? Does the tax revenue cover the total cost of providing the optimal number of streetlights?Scenario 4 Suppose there are two residents in a neighborhood, Tana and Jason. Tana's demand for clean streets is Q = 100 – 4P. Jason's demand for clean streets is Q = 80 – 2P. If your answer is not a whole number, please make sure to round to the nearest hundredth. Refer to Scenario 4. Find the social demand curve for clean streets in this neighborhood. What is the slope of the social demand curve? and what is the socially optimal number of clean streets if the marginal cost of cleaning them is $95?Scenario 4 Suppose there are two residents in a neighborhood, Tana and Jason. Tana's demand for clean streets is Q = 100 – 4P. Jason's demand for clean streets is Q = 80 – 2P. If your answer is not a whole number, please make sure to round to the nearest hundredth. Refer to Scenario 4. What is the socially optimal number of clean streets if the marginal cost of cleaning them is $35? and what is the socially optimal number of clean streets if the marginal cost of cleaning them is $5?
- 10-) Suppose 10 people each have the demand Q = 20 – 4P for streetlights and 5 people have the demand Q = 18 – 2P for streetlights. The cost of building each streetlight is 3. If it is possible to purchase a fractional number of streetlights, how many streetlights are socially optimal?Consider the market for CD players, illustrated in the figure to the right. Suppose there are network externalities in this market such that the quantity of a good demanded grows in response to the growth of purchases by other individuals (as indicated by the demand curve "Demand" in the figure). Suppose that the price is initially $90 where the quantity demanded is 120 (thousand CD players per month). If the price of CD players falls to $50, demand will increase to 180 thousand CD players per month. (Enter your response using an integer.) Of this increase, price effect and thousand units of the 60 thousand-unit increase is the pure thousand units of the increase is the bandwagon effect.

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 Table 13.4 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.

- Consider the market for CD players, illustrated in the figure to the right. Suppose there are network externalities in this market such that the quantity of a good demanded grows in response to the growth of purchases by other individuals (as indicated by the demand curve "Demand" in the figure). Suppose that the price is initially $110 where the quantity demanded is 90 (thousand CD players per month). If the price of CD players falls to $50, demand will increase to thousand CD players per month. (Enter your response using an integer.) of this increase, thousand units of the 90 thousand-unit increase is the pure price effect and thousand units of the increase is the bandwagon effect. The bandwagon effect causes the demand for CD players to be more otherwise be the case (without network externalities). ▼than would 200- 180 160 Demand 140 120- 100- 80- 60- 40- 20- 0+ 0 Deo 20 D150 D80 P120 P180 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 200 220 CD Players (thousands per month) Q Next11-) Andrew, Beth, and Cathy live in Lindhville. Andrew’s demand for bike paths, a public good, is given by Q = 12–2P. Beth’s demand is Q = 18–P, and Cathy’s is Q = 8–P/3. The marginal cost of building a bike path is MC = 21. The town government decides to use the following procedure for deciding how many paths to build. It asks each resident how many paths they want, and it builds the largest number asked for by any resident. To pay for these paths, it then taxes Andrew, Beth, and Cathy the prices a, b, and c per path, respectively, where a + b + c = MC. (The residents know these tax rates before stating how many paths they want.)A-). If the taxes are set so that each resident shares the cost evenly (a = b = c), how many paths will get built?B) Show that the government can achieve the social optimum by setting the correct tax prices a, b, and c. What prices should it set?Sylvester and Rachel live together on an island with two goods, food and shelter. Food is a private good and shelter is a public good. The utility function of Sylvester is U= Fs + 2(Zs + Zr) where Fs is the amount of food he buys, Zs is the amount of shelter he buys and Zr is the amount of shelter Rachel buys. Similarly, the utility function of Rachel is U= Fr + Zs + Zr where Fris the amount of food she buys. Suppose the price of food is 10 and both Sylvester and Rachel have 100 to spend. Suppose also that it is not possible for Sylvester and Rachel to reach any kind of agreement. a.

- I'm waiting for the answer desperately It's in environmental economic textbook, kolstad.Harold smokes cigarettes but his office mate Kumar hates smoking. Harold and Kumar havethe following utility functions:UH = 100 + 10z – 0.1z2UK = 100 – 10z,where z is the number of cigarettes smoked by Harold (and UH includes the cost of cigarettes).Determine:a. The number of cigarettes smoked by Harold when the external effect on Kumar is ignored;b. The socially optimal number of cigarettes smoked. To find the socially optimal numberof cigarettes smoked, we create a social welfare function (SWF). The SWF is definedas the sum of Harold’s utility and Kumar’s utility. Using this approach, find the sociallyoptimal level of cigarettes that should be smoked by Harold;c. The Pigouvian tax needed to reach this social optimum;d. The outcome with Coasian bargaining when the property right is assigned Harold;e. The outcome with Coasian bargaining when the property right is assigned to Kumar.1. Solve for the graph and aggregate demand of the city’s 30 residents as functions of the number of trees. Label intercepts slopes and intersection of two sections. 2. Assume that the city can obtain each tree at a constant marginal cost of 200. Solve the socially efficient numbers of trees for the city to purchase.
