Suppose there is a increasing marginal private cost for the production of a particular good given by 10+Q, and a decreasing marginal private benefit for the good given by 60-Q. Suppose there is a external marginal damage given by 2Q in terms of the environmental degradation caused by the production of this good that falls upon the residents of the city. What is the per unit Pigouvian tax government should impose on this good?

2) Suppose the demand curve for a rubber-based product is Q_D=225-0.5P, and the supply curve is Q_S=0.5P-15. If the external cost of the suit from the waste produced by the factory producing the item is MEC-Q, calculate: (a) Competitive price and quantity when there is no control over the waste disposal of the factory. (b) Price and quantity at the socially optimal level.
How to set the Pigouvian Taxes to correct the problem with negative externalities? Eliminate the divergence between ... Mark all that applies. Group of answer choices the marginal social cost and marginal private cost at the socially optimal level of consumption. the polluter’s private benefit and social benefit. the average social cost and average private costs. input costs and output prices at the market equilibrium. the marginal social cost and marginal private cost at the market equilibrium.
2. Suppose that demand for a product is Q = 1200 - 4P and supply is Q = -240 +2 P. Furthermore, suppose that the marginal external damage of this product is $12 per unit. How many more units of this product will the free market produce than is socially optimal? Calculate the deadweight loss associated with the externality.
What is the socially optimal quantity, and how much is the social cost at this quantity?
it is microeconomics If a firm does not pay for an external cost, who does? Why might there be a deadweight loss in a positive externality situation, when the amount bought and sold in the market is below the market optimal equilibrium amount? Why might private firms not want to produce certain types of goods?
The lakes and rivers of the Greenbarrow National Forest have become so polluted, due to emissions by several upstream power plants, that the fish catch has plummeted by half. As a result, the number of visitors to the region has also plummeted, harming the local economy. A team of experts estimates the marginal social cost of the power plants' production activities at $20 per megawatt hour of electricity produced. a. The graph below presents the unregulated market for electriicty in the Greenbarrow National Forest area. Shift the appropriate curve to reflect the true marginal cost of electricity generation by the upstream power plants, and shade the area representing the deadweight loss that arises from these activities. Price ($ per megawatt hour) 120 110 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 Supply Demand 20 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Quantity of electricity (millions of megawatt hours) 9 10 Deadweight loss
The supply and demand of sugar are given as Qs = 5P, Qd = 250- P where Qs is tons supplied per year, P is the price per ton; Qd is tons demanded per year. Because of the pollution associated with production, marginal external costs of 40 are associated with each ton of sugar. Assuming that sugar is sold in a competitive market, What is the market price? How many tons of paper will be produced per year at that price? What is the efficient output of paper? What is the amount of total Pigouvian tax to achieve efficiency? What is the amount of total Pigouvian subsidy to achieve efficiency?
Consider a market where the demand curve is given by P = 190 – 0.2Q and the supply curve is given by P = 41 + 0.1Q. Production of this good generates an external cost as measured by the marginal external cost function MEC = 0.1Q. If the government wants to encourage firms to produce at the socially efficient level of output then how large should the per unit tax be? Enter a number rounded to two decimal places as necessary
Please provide calculation and justification
Consider a competitive industry with production valued according to a MB = 200 - Q and production entails a private marginal cost MC = 50 + 2Q but also an external cost MCE = 30 + 2Q associated to air pollution resulting from the production process. Find the socially efficient quantity of output Q. What quantity Q0 will be produced by the market? Is this quantity efficient? If not, obtain the deadweight loss.
Suppose the demand for a product is P = 400 - 0.25 Q and the supply of the product is P = 100 +0.75 P where Q is output and P is price. Suppose also that the marginal external cost (MEC) from production is constant and equal to 50$ per unit. What is the competitive (private) efficient level of output? What is the socially efficient level of output?
The supply and demand of sugar are given as Qs = 5P, Qd = 250- P where Qs is tons supplied per year, P is the price per ton; Qd is tons demanded per year. Because of the pollution associated with production, marginal external costs of 40 are associated with each ton of sugar. Assuming that sugar is sold in a competitive market, What is the market price? How many tons of paper will be produced per year at that price? What is the efficient output of paper?
