For firm 1, the marginal private benefit of pollution equals MB1 = 120 − 3q1. For firm 2, the marginal benefit of pollution equals MB2 = 80 − q2. Assume the marginal private cost of polluting is 0 in the absence of a tax.
- Some smart people have determined the socially optimal quantity of pollution is Q = q1 + q2 = 52. Assuming pollution is efficiently allocated between the firms, how much does each firm emit? Hint: Think about how you would determine the socially optimal quantity using marginal analysis.
- What tax results in 52 units of pollution?

- A confectioner and a music producer shares the same building. The confectioner uses machines while the music producer's productivity increases if there is less noise. The table below shows the benefits to the confectioner and the music producer. For example, if the confectioner installs an additional machine, her benefits increases to $100 while the benefits of the music producer reduces to $40. Coase argued that private solutions to externalities is possible between parties, is the confectioner wants to install the new machinery and noone has property rights, what is the maximum compensation possible?

Firm A’s marginal costs associated with pollution reduction are MC = 150 + 3Q. Firm B’s marginal costs associated with pollution reduction is MC = 9Q.

- 8.1 Suppose we have an agricultural valley 100 km by 50 km, with a polluting electricity power plant. The power plant causes pollution problems in a narrow strip of land downwind of the plant, and within this valley. 10 km in length and 500 m in width, but no problems outside of that area. The total effect of the pollution is to make crop land less productive. If we were to clean up the pollution, would we expect land prices to increase? Where? Would we expect wages to decline? Would the changes in land prices and/or wages fully reflect the benefits of cleaning up the pollution? Why or why not?The figure below shows the market for a chemical, of which the production causes certain negative externalities in the form of pollution. Define MCP = marginal private cost, MCS = marginal social cost, D = market demand, P = price, and Q = quantity. 4 10 (a) (b) (c) (d) 100 P MC, ML D If the market is competitive, what is the equilibrium price and quantity? Is this equilibrium outcome socially optimal? In terms of the areas denoted by A, B, and C, what is the deadweight loss to society if the market is competitive? What can the government do to achieve the socially optimal level of pollution?QUESTION 5 Firms A and B each produce 80 units of pollution. The federal government wants to reduce pollution levels. The marginal costs associated with pollution reduction are MCA = 50 + 3QA for firm A and MCg = 20 + 6QB for firm B, where QA and QB are the quantities of pollution reduced by each firm. Society's marginal benefit from pollution reduction is given by MB = 590- 3Qtot where Qtot is the total reduction in pollution. The social optimum requires MB = MCA = MCg. Setting MCA =MCg and solving for QA in terms of QB, we have QA = QB - Setting MCB = MB, plugging in for QA in terms of QB, and solving for QB, 20 + 6QB = 590 - 3Qtot = 590 - 3(QA + QB) = QB. Hint: Type integers.
- The figure below shows the marginal benefit (demand) of polluting for two firms: Alpha and Beta.

Marginal Benefit (MB) to Firm Tax = $100 0 MB BETA MBALPHA 25 50 75 100 Emissions (tons) The government decides to impose a tax on pollution of $100 per ton of emissions. That is, the per-unit the tax is the marginal cost of polluting. Which of the follow are true? (Select all that are true.) a. As a result of the tax, the total emissions will decrease by 50 units b. The tax was intended to decrease production by 50 units for each firm. c. As a result of the tax, both firms will decrease emissions by the same amount d. After the tax is imposed, Firm Beta will emit 50 tons more pollution than Firm Alpha e. Before the tax is imposed, Firm Beta emitted more pollution than Firm Alpha f. As a result of the tax, total emissions from the two firms will be cut in half g. The amount of tax collected…Im confused on this question.QUESTION 16 Consider the following figure Price SMC PMC P.
