9. 9. Suppose that a local airport is near a residential neighborhood. To land at this airport, an airliner must pay $53. To soundproof the local homes, so residents do not hear airplanes all hours of the day, residents must pay $50. What is the private cost for a plane to land at this airport? What is the external cost of a plane landing at the airport? 9. < Previous What is the social cost of a plane landing at the airport? Next X
The graph shows the unregulated market for electricity. Suppose that at every quantity produced, the marginal external cost of electricity equals the marginal private cost of production. To show the market outcome, draw the following four items on the graph: 1. Draw a point to show the marginal social cost when the utility produces 500 kilowatts per day. Label it 1. 2. Draw the marginal social cost curve. Label it MSC . 3. Draw a point to show the electricity produced and its marginal social cost. Label it 2. 4. Draw a shape to show the deadweight loss created. Label it DWL . >>> Draw only the objects specified in the question.
Air pollution creates a negative externality—a cost suffered by a third party as a result of an economic transaction. A standard solution to a negative externality is a Pigouvian tax, a tax that raises the marginal private cost of pollution emissions to the level of the marginal social cost. The socially optimal quantity of pollution emissions is then determined by the intersection of the marginal private benefit, or demand, curve and the marginal social cost curve. The article notes that "putting a dollar value on the benefits of cleaner air has been difficult." Assuming this problem has been resolved, in the accompanying diagram, move the endpoints of line Smarginal social cost to show the marginal social cost curve. Then move the line labeled "Tax" to show the amount of the tax needed to limit emissions to the socially optimal level.

The graph illustrates the market for pesticide with no government intervention. When the factories produce pesticide, they also create waste, which they dump into a lake on the outskirts of town. The marginal external cost of the dumped waste is equal to the marginal private cost of producing pesticide (that is, the marginal social cost of producing the pesticide is double the marginal private cost.) What quantity of pesticide is produced if no one owns the lake? If no one owns the lake, the quantity of pesticide produced is tonnes a week. The efficient quantity of pesticide is tonnes a week. 480- 400- 320- 240- 160- 80- Price (dollars per tonne) 40 80 120 160 Quantity (tonnes of pesticide per week) S D 200 N

Petrol brings great benefit to those who buy it, but burning it also creates external costs. Consider the graph below which shows the demand for petrol, the private marginal cost of producing petrol, and the social marginal cost of producing petrol. 1. Suppose that buyers and producers of petrol do not consider the external marginal costs they impose on others. Determine the equilibrium quantity and price; then use the letters in the diagram to fill in the appropriate spaces in the table below 2. Suppose that conscientious sellers, out of the sheer goodness of their hearts, decide to incorporate external marginal costs into their production decisions. Determine the new quantity and price, then use the letters in the diagram to fill in the appropriate spaces in the table above. 3. Producers rarely do something out of the goodness of their hearts and are likely to consider only their private marginal costs. Compare total surplus in both cases to determine the deadweight loss of the…
