- Consider a factory, located in the middle of nowhere, producing a nasty smell. As long as no one is around toexperience the unpleasant odor, are any externalities produced? Suppose that there was family next door to the smelly factory. Do we now have an externalities problem?Suppose that the family clearly possesses the right to a pleasant-smelling environment. Does this mean thatthe factory will be required to stop producing the bad smell?

- EOC 11.04 Two businesses, X and Y, each dump 20 tonnes of pollution into a creek. In an effort to reduce pollution, the government will now require businesses to have a pollution permit to dump pollutants in the creek. Each business receives 10 pollution permits and they can use it to pollute or sell it to the other business (but lose the ability to pollute). To reduce pollution it costs business X $100 per tonne of pollutant eliminated and it costs business Y $50 per tonne of pollutant eliminated. Once the two businesses have traded these permits with each other, what is the likely outcome? Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a business X emits 10 tonnes of pollutants and business Y emits 10 tonnes of pollutants. b business X no longer pollutes, and business Y will not lower the amount it pollutes. business X raises its pollution, and business Y will lower how much it pollutes. business Y no longer pollutes, and…11.05 Unanswered • 2 attempts left Bailey has a dog whose loud barking upsets their neighbour, Harper.

- Question Four A positive externality of consumption exists if the consumption of a good or service provides spillover benefits to a third part not involved in the consumption. Give an example of a positive externality of consumption and using that example illustrate using a diagram how government can intervene to ensure that socially optimal quantity is consumed. A positive externality of production exists if the production of a good or service provides spillover benefits to a third part not involved in the production. Give an example of a positive externality of production and using that example illustrate using a diagram how government can intervene to ensure that socially optimal quantity is produced.Robert owns a cattle ranch next to a flower farm owned by Felicia. Robert's cattle tend to roam and sometimes they stray onto Felicia's land and damage her crops. Robert can choose the size of his herd and his revenues are $6 for each cow he raises. The table below shows his private marginal cost of production (MCP) and the damage each additional cow creates (marginal cow damage or MCD) are given below. # of Cattle MCP MCD 123456 334567 $3 $1 2 3 4 5 6 6 Farmer Felicia can choose either to farm or not to farm. Her cost of production is $10, and her revenue is $12 when there are no cattle roaming loose. For each additional cow her revenue is reduced by the amount in the MCD column above. To answer the following questions, you need to figure out four things: the profit maximizing number of cows for Robert to own, his profits, whether or not Felicia will farm and what her profits will be. Remember that efficient outcomes maximize the net monetary benefits to both parties; in other words,…you 5. Two types of consumers (workers and retirees) share a community with a polluting cheese factory. The pollution is nonrival and nonexcludable. The total damage to workers is p² where p is the amount of pollution and the total damage to retirees is 3p². Thus marginal damage to workers is 2p and marginal damage to retirees is 6p. According to an analysis by consulting engineers, the cheese factory saves 20p - p² by polluting p, for a marginal savings of 20-2p. a. TAT Find the aggregate (including both types of consumers) marginal damage for the public bad. b. Graph the marginal savings and aggregate marginal damage curves with pollu- tion on the horizontal axis. C. How much will the cheese factory pollute in the absence of any regulation or bargaining? What is this society's optimal level of pollution? d. Starting from the uncontrolled level of pollution calculated in part (c), find the marginal willingness to pay for pollution abatement, A, for each consumer class. (Abatement is…
