The graph below illustrates the market for natural gas. Currently, the market equilibrium output and price is 9 million units at $4 per unit. Suppose that Garret argues that the socially optimal output is 6 million. On the graph, use the drag tool to shift the appropriate curve to illustrate Garret's argument.

What are some markets (goods or services) where an equilibrium might not be the most desirable point? Meaning, if left alone, the market produces too much or too little compared to societal needs.
Suppose 20 people each have the demand Q = 20 - Pfor streetlights, and 5 people have the demand Q = 18 - 2P for streetlights. The cost of building each streetlight is $10. If it is impossible to purchase a fractional number of streetlights, how many streetlights are socially optimal?
In competitive markets, we know that: P= MWTP P= MC MC= AC P= Min AC Which result(s) implies that the outcome is socially optimal?

ECON 201 (Section E) – Homework 4 Name: Question 1: Suppose the market for cigarettes can be represented by the following demand and supply Q = 5000 – 20P Q = 40P – 400 equations: a) Find the free market equilibrium: price, quantity, CS, PS, and TS. Graph the market below. b) Suppose the government comes in and adds a tax on each box of cigarettes sold and makes consumers pay for this tax (when they buy the good). The new demand curve with tax is Q = 5000 – 20(P + 10). Graph the situation below. Calculate the new equilibrium price and quantity with the tax; how much the tax is per box of cigarettes; the new CS, PS, Tax Revenue, and TS; the DWL the tax creates (if any). i. ii. ii. iv.
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.
Whenever we think of a resource, say forest, the value that immediately comes to our mind is the utility that we drive directly from the resource, such as timber. However as environmental scientist, we know that a forest has other values other than direct use value of economic value of a resource. Provide suggestions to address market failure in the above situation.
Suppose that it costs $300 per day to search for chanterelle mushrooms at Pt. Reyes National Seashore. On an average day, the total weight of mushrooms M found at Pt Reyes is M=100x-x2 pounds where x is the number of people mushroom hunting on that day. Chanterelles can be sold for $80 per pound. How many more people will go mushroom hunting than is socially optimal?
Electric cars (ECs) are an important part of meeting global goals on climate change. ECs have emissions up to 33% lower than diesel cars. However, In Europe, electric cars account for only 0 65% of all new sales in 2020 Suppose the market for ECs is perfectly competitive. The market demand for ECs is given by: p= 15 - 20 and the market supply for ECsis given by p 4Q The marginal social benefit of adopting ECs is given by p = 15-Q To encourage the purchase of ECs, the government decides to subsidise the consumers The optimal level of subsidy is for the market to reach a socially optimal equilibrum.
Question Consider two individuals, Adam and Eve, who have the following in-verse demand curves and face a marginal cost curve below. PA = 100 1/2 Qa; PE = 200 Qe MC = 2/3 Q (a) If the good is private, what is the equilibrium price and quantity in a competitive market? Is this outcome ecient? (b) If the good is public, ecient provision implies what price and quantity in the market?
