Assume that you are in the business of building houses in United Kingdom. You have analyzedthe market carefully, and you know that at a price of £120,000, you will sell 800 houses peryear. In addition, you know that at any price above £120,000, no one will buy your housesbecause the government provides equal-quality houses to anyone who wants one at £120,000.You also know that for every £20,000 you lower your price, you will be able to sell an additional200 units. For example, at a price of £100,000, you can sell 1,000 houses; at a price of £80,000,you can sell 1,200 houses; and so on.a. Sketch the demand curve that your firm faces.b. Sketch the effective marginal revenue curve that your firm faces.c. If the marginal cost of building a house is £100,000, how many will you build and whatprice will you charge? What if MC = £85,000?

If 10 million toy cars are sold. which means that: The production of toy cars is currently at an inefficient level, and to reach efficiency more should be produced. From the data given it is impossible to tell if toy cars are being produced at the efficient level. O The production of toy cars is currently at an inefficient level, and to reach efficiency less should be produced. The production of toy cars is currently at the efficient level. IF 30 million toy cars are sold, - vwhich means that: The production of toy cars is currently at an inefficient level, and to reach efficiency more should be produced. O From the data given it is impossible to tell if toy cars are being produced at the efficient level. The production of toy cars is currently at the efficient level. The production of toy cars is currently at an inefficient level, and to reach efficiency less should be produced. The optimal allocation of resources would result in the production of toy cars.

The dry-cleaning industry is a major source of air pollution. Based on this information, which conclusion is the most likely to be true about the price and output of dry-cleaning services? O Because dry-cleaning does not have much demand, pollution is not affecting their demand. O Dry-cleaning is a complimentary good. O Dry-cleaners see it as less profitable to cause pollution. Because there are no financial consequences for the pollution, fixing it wouldn't be as profitable for dry-cleaners.
cap-and-trade and windfall profitsA city called Seoul is suffering from high concentrations of mercury in the air, caused by burningcoal in power plants. There are two of these plants close to the city. The city’s mayor wants touse cap-and-trade to reduce emissions to a reportedly “safe” level of 60 tons. The two firms havethe following marginal benefits of emissions: MB1 = 100 – 2e1, MB2 = 25 – 0.5e2.a. How much mercury will each firm emit? What allowance price will prevail in themarket?Firm 2 hires a smart lobbyist who convinces the government that its profits are relatively low andthat it therefore deserves a generous allowance allocation. The government agrees and allocatesa1 = 20 allowances to firm 1 (for free) and a2 = 40 allowances to firm 2 (for free).b. What are the firms’ profits? Do any of the firms earn windfall profits? [Hint: compareprofits with and without regulation.] Windfall profits have been sharply criticized by consumer advocacy groups and politicians.c. What can…

Only typed answer and please don't use chatgpt The inverse demand for leather is given by P = 50-0.5Q. The industry supply of leather is determined by its marginal cost: MC = 0.4Q. Unfortunately, the production of leather causes noxious chemical residue to leach into groundwater supplies. The external marginal cost caused by these residues grows with the amount of output, and is measured as EMC = 0.05Q. 1A. How many leather is produced in the free market if the externality is not corrected. B) What is the free market price of the leather if the externality is not corrected? C) What is the social marginal cost?
