The graph below depicts a schedule of two individual marginal benefit curves (MB1 and MB2) as well as the social marginal benefit (SMB) curve. This good is non-rival in consumption and non- excludable in use, so the SMB was constructed using vertical summation of individual MB curves.

3. Now reconsider the issue of soybeans from the perspective of Chinese consumers. Assume you are a Chinese consumer who drinks soymilk each day. Demonstrate using a graph how your consumption of soymilk differs from the socially optimal level. Is the price you pay for soymilk in current market conditions the correct amount, too high, or too low? Why? Ensure that you label your graph correctly (all curves, axes, price and quantities labeled). Show the deadweight loss of soymilk consumption, and what price should be charged for soymilk to move the amount of soymilk you drink to the optimal level.
Weel explained answer needed no Ai The Coase Theorem states that: a) As long as property rights are well defined and no transaction costs exist, an efficient allocation will result b)As long as property rights are well defined and transaction costs are high, an efficient allocation will result. c)An efficient allocation will be equitable to all parties concerned. d)Property rights should initially be assigned to those affected by a negative externality.
Externalities - Definition and examples An externality arises when a firm or person engages in an activity that affects the wellbeing of a third party, yet neither pays nor receives any compensation for that effect. If the impact on the third party is adverse, it is called a ___________ externality. The following graph shows the demand and supply curves for a good with this type of externality. The dashed drop lines on the graph reflect the market equilibrium price and quantity for this good.

Brian and Edison are considering contributing toward the creation of a public park. Each can choose whether to contribute $400 to the public park or to keep that $400 for a cell phone. Since a public park is a public good, both Brian and Edison will benefit from any contributions made by the other person. Specifically, every dollar that either one of them contributes will bring each of them $0.80 of benefit. For example, if both Brian and Edison choose to contribute, then a total of $800 would be contributed to the public park. So, Brian and Edison would each receive $640 of benefit from the public park, and their combined benefit would be $1,280. This is shown in the upper left cell of the first table. Since a cell phone is a private good, if Brian chooses to spend $400 on a cell phone, Brian would get $400 of benefit from the cell phone and Edison wouldn't receive any benefit from Brian's choice. If Brian still spends $400 on a cell phone and Edison chooses to contribute $400 to the…
