мса 3 Consider a competitive market in which units of output are produced at a total private cost (TPC) described by the equation TPC = 50 + 200. The production of these units of output also generates a total externality cost (TEC) described by the equation TEC = 302. The marginal private benefits that consumers attach to additional units of output are shown by the (inverse) market demand curve P = 100 - 20. From this information we can deduce that the socially efficient output level is: A Q = 8 В Q = 20 C Q = 25 Q = 10 E I do not want to answer this question. F Q = 80

Consider a two-good economy with one private and one public good. There are four consumers in this economy who contribute to public good provision. The price of the private good is $1 and the demand function of the public good for each consumer is as follows: p1 = 20 - 2G, p2 = 30-(5/10)G, p3 = 100-(G/2) and p4 = 60-G where G is the number of units of the public good and p^i is the price of each unit for consumer i in dollars. The cost of providing one extra unit of the public good is (alpha). (a) With 170 < alpha < 210, what is the optimal level of provision of the public good? Show the optimal point on a graph. (b) Is there a possibility that the public good is not supplied at all? Why? (c) If the public good is not supplied at all, what is the size of the deadweight loss due to this market failure? (d) If at least one person contributes, for what values of the public good will be supplied?

Consider two firms with the following marginal abatement costs (MAC) as a function of emissions (E): MAC1 = 12 - 2E1 MAC2 = 9 - E2, and assume marginal external damages (MED) from aggregate emissions from the two firms is: MED = EAgg. The socially efficient level of aggregate abatement is (Round your answer to the nearest integer)
Consider Product NE, which has a negative externality associated with its’ production and use ( i.e., the “Incidental Cost” of each unit of Product NE is greater than zero). You are told that : * The “Efficient” Output of Product NE = 100 units * The Free-Market Equilibrium Output of Product NE = 125 units * The Total Surplus ( to society) on Unit Number 50 ( i.e., on that one unit ALONE) is equal to $ 45 * The Cumulative Surplus on the first 100 units produced is equal to $ 6,000 ( i.e., the sum of the surplus( to society) on ALL 100 units adds up to $ 6,000) Is the Consumer’s Surplus + Producer’s Surplus on Unit Number 50 ( i.e., the sum of CS + PS) greater than $ 45, less than $ 45, or exactly equal to $ 45 ( just circle your answer) ? Greater than $ 45 Less Than $ 45 Exactly $ 45 *Draw a graph to…
Within the remote nation of New Hope, total industrial production is currently creating a constant level of GDP that results in 2,600 million tonnes per year of carbon being released into the atmosphere. The government announced three years ago that a cap on carbon emissions of 2,430 million tonnes would be imposed. This triggered the creation of new firms that began to plant large plantations of trees grown specifically to absorb carbon from the atmosphere and thus earn carbon credits that they would sell to the highest bidder. See table below for the supply of these earned carbon credits available when the program begins. Quantity of Credits Price of Carbon Credits Created $ 1,125 40 1,225 70 1,325 100 1,425 140 1,525 170 1,625 200 1,725 230 a. What will be the initial price for carbon credits? Initial price $ Next, assume that new technology enables the same level of GDP to be achieved with 5 percent less carbon emissions. b. Now what is the price of carbon credits? Price $
Consider two firms with the following marginal abatement costs (MAC) as a function of emissions (E): MAC_1 = 11 - 2E_1 MAC_2 = 8.5 - E_2, and assume marginal external damages (MED) from the aggregate emissions of both firms (E_Agg = E_1 + E_2) is: MED = .5E_Agg. To achieve the socially efficient level of aggregate emissions (E*_Agg), the government institutes a per unit subsidy to abatement equal to $____. Answer:
QUESTION 6 Market (inverse) demand for measles vaccine is given by P= 100-20. Market (inverse) supply for measles vaccine is given by P= 10 +0.50. Here, Pis the unit price of measles vaccine and Q denotes quantity. Suppose there are positive externalities from consuming measles vaccines. Marginal external benefit is given by MEB=0.5Q. The size of deadweight loss from the market equilibrium is 0.5x( 310.5x
The market for plasticans is perfectly competitive. Market Supply is given by Q=6P and Market Demand is given by Q=487-3P. Each extra unit of plastican produced imposes a negative externality of $5. What is the total cost of the externality at the market equilibrium? Enter a number only, no $ sign. Do NOT include a negative sign. 1,623.33
Which of the following is NOT part of the Coasian Solution to the problem of externalities? Clearly and fully define property rights. Make individuals pay compensation if they infringe upon the property rights others. Prevent parties from negotiating with one another regarding infringements of property rights caused by externalities. None of the above answers is correct (since each choice is part of the Coasian Solution to the problem of externalities).
Scenario 10-1 The demand curve for gasoline slopes downward and the supply curve for gasoline slopes upward. The production of the 1,000th gallon of gasoline entails the following: a private cost of $3.10 • a social cost of $3-55 a value to consumers of $3.70 Refer to Scenario 10-1. Suppose the equilibrium quantity of gasoline is 1,150 gallons; that is, QMARKET = 1,150. Then the equilibrium price of a gallon could be a. $3.30. b. $3.80. c. $3.00. d. $2.80.
