**Question 1**Consider the market for fast food. Suppose the demand for fast food is given by $ Q_D = 6 - P $ where $ P $ is the price of an item (a burger, say) in dollars. Also, suppose the supply is given by $ Q_S = P $.- The equilibrium price in this market is [Dropdown].- The equilibrium quantity of fast food is [Dropdown].Fast food produces a lot of waste in all of the packaging that goes along with it when taken to go. This waste produces negative externalities—the private cost of consuming fast food (its price) is less than the marginal social cost, which includes the cost of having to dispose of the waste.Suppose that the additional cost to society from each item of fast food produced is 0.5 dollars. In this case, the socially efficient quantity of fast food is [Dropdown].

How is the increase in post-secondary education (e.g. positive externality) going to effect consumer behavior in the future?
The following is a copy of the information from Question 1: Consider Product NE, which has a negative externality associated with its production and use ( i.e., the “Incidental Cost” ( IC) of each unit of Product NE is greater than zero). You are told that : * The “Efficient” Output of Product NE = 9000 units * The Free-Market Equilibrium Output of Product NE = 10,000 units * The Consumer’s Surplus + Producer’s Surplus on Unit Number 6000 ( i.e., on that one unit ALONE) is equal to $ 70 ( i.e., the sum of CS + PS = $ 70) * The Cumulative Surplus on the first 9000 units produced is equal to $ 175,000 ( i.e., the sum of the surplus( to society) on ALL 9000 units adds up to $ 175,000) Is the Cumulative Surplus on the first 10,000 units ( i.e., ALL 10,000 units together) greater than $ 175,000, less than $ 175,000, or exactly equal to $ 175,000 ? a.

If the government subsidizes vaccination against influenza to internalize the externality, should it impose the subsidy on consumers or producers of flu vaccines? How large should the subsidy be? How much less per flu vaccine would patients (i.e., consumers) pay? How much more would manufacturers (i.e., producers) of flu vaccines receive?
A small town provides a fireworks display, which is a public good, every fourth of July. For simplicity, assume the town only has two residents: Hayden and Madison. Their demands for the fireworks display are illustrated in the figure to the right. Construct the market demand curve for this public good. 8.00 7.50- 7.00- 6.50- 6.00- 5.50- 5.00- 4.50- Use the line drawing tool to draw the market demand curve (DMarket) for the fireworks display.

Assume that to balance the benefits of providing electricity with its pollution costs, A. Treehugger recommends that the government imposes a tax $0.04 for every kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity sold. If they do, how much of this tax is actually paid by the customer (consumer’s burden) and how much is paid by the firm (producer’s burden)?
The restaurant industry develops an exciting new technology, a robot that quickly prepares food in half the usual time of chefs. This increases supply (producers save costs on labor) and demand (consumers find it fun to watch the robot make a meal) such that the price remains constant. However, the robot runs on coal and produces a lot of pollution, generating an external cost on production. How do consumer and producer surplus change as a result of this new technology? Choice 1 of 4:Consumer surplus increases but the change in producer surplus is indeterminateChoice 2 of 4:Producer surplus increases but the change in consumer surplus is indeterminateChoice 3 of 4:Both producer and consumer surplus increaseChoice 4 of 4:Both producer and consumer surplus decrease
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. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.
how do you read this type of graph and know whats going on
The market for pens in Howards is perfectly competitive with no externalities. Market demand is given by Q=165-P. Market Supply is given by Q=P-16.What is total Surplus in this market?
I need some help drawing the curve for p1+p2+p3
Assume a perfectly competitive market with no externalities. The demand curve is P =52 - 0.06×Qd. The supply curve is P =0.06×Qs. In equilibrium, what is total surplus?
Parks confer many external benefits on society: open space, trees that reduce pollution, and so on. Therefore, the market equilibrium quantity of parks is not equal to the socially optimal quantity. The following graph shows the demand for parks (their private value), the supply of parks (the private cost of producing them), and the social value of parks, including both the private value and external benefits. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the market equilibrium quantity. Next, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to indicate the socially optimal quantity.
