On a graph show the supply, demand and marginal social cost for this good in the long run. Also indicate the efficient quantity and the dead weight loss. b. Considering that the equilibrium quantity is no longer efficient, what would be the efficient way to change it: changing the number of firms or having each firm produce a different quantity? c. What policy would result in the market producing the efficient quantity? I have a specific policy in mind here which is mentioned in the book. Assume that policy makers don't know the efficient quantity and can't just order everyone to do the…

The market for plasticans is perfectly competitive. Market Supply is givenby Q=3P and Market Demand is given by Q=469-3P. Each extra unit ofplastican produced imposes a negative externality of $9. What is the totalsurplus at the market quantity?
Problem 5 refers to the following setup: The demand curve in a market is Q = 6-P. Firm A and B are the only sellers, their marginal costs are constant at 2 and 3 respectively, and there is no fixed cost. They produce identical goods. 5. a) What is the socially efficient outcome? (Specify the quantity for each firm.) b) Find the quantity produced by each firm and the price under Cournot competition. c) What is each firm's profit under Cournot competition?
