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)?
Chose one: If there are no externalities a competitive market achieves economic efficiency. If there is anegative externality, economic efficiency will not be achieved because a. too much of the good will be produced. b.a deadweight loss will occur that is equal to the area under the demand curve for the good. c.too little of the good will be produced. d.economic surplus is maximized
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
Due to a firm generating external costs (a negative externality), the government decides to ________ the firm. In response, the firm will produce ________ units of output in order to continue maximizing profits and reach the new producer equilibrium. Question 4Answer a. tax; fewer b. subsidize; more c. tax; more d. subsidize; fewer
The following graph shows market equilibrium of paper production. There are negative externalities in production and the Marginal External Cost is $5 per unit.

B. Let’s consider the market for flour in a different town. Assume that it is efficient (i.e. that there are not external costs to producing flour, and no external benefits from consuming it). Price ($/lb) Quantity Supplied (thousands of lbs per day) Quantity Demanded (thousands of lbs per day) 1.5 8 14 2 9 13 2.5 10 12 3 11 11 3.5 12 10 4 13 9 What is the price and quantity of flour sold without government intervention. Graph this equilibrium. XXXX 2. Suppose that, alarmed by the inability of many poorer consumers to buy flour, the government institutes a $2/lb price ceiling. How much flour will suppliers wish to sell, and how much will buyers demand? How much flour will actually be sold? Show this outcome on the same graph you drew for question 1. XXXX 3. Describe, in one sentence each, three problems that this policy might create? Please do not simply copy down phrases from the textbook, but instead describe ways that…
When does a subsidy that benefits consumers result in a more efficient allocation of a resource? A when the good being produced or consumed is not scarce B when the good being produced or consumed generates a negative externality when the good being produced or consumed generates a positive externality D when the equilibrium price of the good is one that consumers don't like

Identify at least one positive externality from running a donut shop. Identify at least one negative externality from running a donut shop. Explain how these positive and negative externalities could impact the donut shop’s profits. (Hint: think subsidy for positive externality and tax for negative externality.) Draw two graphs that show the price of donuts before and after the positive and negative externality impacted the price of your donuts.
Provide two examples of each of the following: • Positive Production Externalities • Negative Production ExternalitieS • Positive Consumption Externalities • Negative Consumption Externalities
1. An externality exists when agent A’s utility or production function depends on real variables chosen by another agent B, without an offer of compensation or other attention given to the effect of A’s well-being. True or False 2. The "invisible hand" of the market leads to the efficient allocation of goods and services, even in the presence of externalities. True or False 3. If there is a negative production externality, the market price of the good will be higher than the socially-optimal price. True or False
