[The drainage of waste products from the chemical factory, Ultra Chemicals, situated along the banks of the Misty River has led to the formation of a dead zone in the river that cannot support aquatic life.] [Without any government intervention, will Ultra Chemicals produce a socially optimal quantity? Why or why not? Explain your answer in 200 words or less with the help of a suitable diagram. [Does Ultra Chemicals impose a deadweight loss on society? Explain in 100 words or less. Use your diagram to show the deadweight loss to society. [How can a government intervene to improve upon the outcome from society’s point of view? Explain in 100 words or less. Diagram not needed.

George Washington Bridge has a bike lane for crossing that cyclists can cross at any time at no charge. Cyclists complain that the bike lane becomes so crowded that it takes a long time to cross. Which of the following is most accurate? The George Washington Bridge's Bike Lane is a public good because it's free The George Washington Bridge's Bike Lane is a common resource The George Washington Bridge's Bike Lane is like a private good because there is excess demand The George Washington Bridge's Bike Lane is a club good because anyone can use it at anytime

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
The graph illustrates the market for tomatoes. Suppose that tomato growers use a chemical to control insects and waste flows into the town's river. The marginal social cost of producing tomatoes is double the marginal private cost. Compare the outcomes when the town owns the river and when the tomato grower owns the river. 150- 125- Price (dollars per tonne) 100- Suppose the town owns the river.
