The inverse demand curve for steel is P = 300-Q, where price P is dollars per ton and output Q is millions of tons of steel. The industry marginal cost of producing a ton of steel is MC = 11+ 2Q, which is the industry supply curve. The industry marginal external cost of the damage caused by pollution emitted during the production of one additional ton of steel is MEC¹ = 6 + Q. The socially efficient amount of steel to produce is million tons, and the socially efficient price is $ per ton. (Enter your responses as real numbers rounded to two decimal places.)

Consider two firms with the following marginal abatement cost (MAC) functions: MAC₁ = 12 - 2E₁ MAC2 = 8 - E₂ Assume that marginal external damages (MED) from the aggregate emissions of both firms (EA = E₁ + E₂) is: MED = 0.5EA. To achieve the socially efficient level of aggregate emissions (EA*) using a per-unit subsidy to abatement, the government must set the subsidy equal to $ Please round your final answer to two decimal places if necessary.
Consider the market for electricity. Suppose that a power plant dumps byproducts into a nearby river, creating a negative externality for those living downstream from the plant. Producing additional electricity imposes a constant per-unit external cost of $240. The following graph shows the demand (private value) curve and the supply (private cost) curve for electricity. Use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the social cost curve when the external cost is $240 per unit.

1) Consider a market with demand curve P = 100 - 2Q, and supply curve P = 40 + 2Q. Suppose there is a negative production externality of 20 dollars per unit. What is the deadweight loss of the externality if there is no intervention? 20 30 40 50 2) Consider a market with demand curve P = 100 - 2Q, and supply curve P = 40 + 2Q. Suppose there is a positive production externality of 20 dollars per unit. Which of the following government policies results in a socially optimal quantity in the market? A tax of 10 dollars A subsidy of 20 dollars A subsidy of 10 dollars A tax of 20 dollars.

Consider two firms with the following marginal abatement costs (MAC) as a function of emissions (E): MAC_1 = 11 - 2E_1 MAC_2 = 8.5 - E_2, and assume marginal external damages (MED) from the aggregate emissions of both firms (E_Agg = E_1 + E_2) is: MED = .5E_Agg. To achieve the socially efficient level of aggregate emissions (E*_Agg), the government institutes a per-unit tax on emissions. In principle, firms could continue to emit pollution as they were in the absence of government intervention, but by cutting back on emissions, their total compliance costs (tax payment plus total abatement costs) goes down. How much money can firms save if they reduce their emissions to E*_Agg in response to the tax? Answer:
