The many identical residents of Whoville love drinking Zlurp. Each resident has the following willingness to pay for the tasty refreshment: First bottle Second bottle Third bottle Fourth bottle Fifth bottle Further bottles $14 $4 The cost of producing Zlurp is $1.50, and the competitive suppliers sell it at this price. (The supply curve is horizontal.) Producing Zlurp creates pollution. Each bottle has an external cost of $1. Taking this additional cost into account, what is total surplus per person? $8 $5 $4.5 3 2

1.Suppose that elk hunting permits are sold in a competitive market by landowners who own property where elk reside, and one permit is required to harvest each elk. The demand curve for elk hunting permits is p=180-0.5q. The total cost to the landowners of allowing q elk to be harvested on their properties is C(q)=0.125q^2 . Draw a graph depicting this scenario. 2. Now assume there also is an amenity value associated with the presence of elk in the forest for wildlife watching and ecosystem health. This is a benefit that accrues to the public at large, not only to the elk hunters or property owners. The external benefits from having Q elk remaining in the forest after each hunting season is 50Q . There are Q0 elk in the forest at the beginning of each hunting season, so Q=Q0- q. Draw a graph depicting this scenario.
Explain why there are no markets for public goods briefly.
Scenario 10-1 The demand curve for gasoline slopes downward and the supply curve for gasoline slopes upward. The production of the 1,000th gallon of gasoline entails the following: a private cost of $3.10 • a social cost of $3-55 a value to consumers of $3.70 Refer to Scenario 10-1. Suppose the equilibrium quantity of gasoline is 1,150 gallons; that is, QMARKET = 1,150. Then the equilibrium price of a gallon could be a. $3.30. b. $3.80. c. $3.00. d. $2.80.

The restaurant industry develops an exciting new technology, a robot that quickly prepares food in half the usual time of chefs. This increases supply (producers save costs on labor) and demand (consumers find it fun to watch the robot make a meal) such that the price remains constant. However, the robot runs on coal and produces a lot of pollution, generating an external cost on production. How do consumer and producer surplus change as a result of this new technology? Choice 1 of 4:Consumer surplus increases but the change in producer surplus is indeterminateChoice 2 of 4:Producer surplus increases but the change in consumer surplus is indeterminateChoice 3 of 4:Both producer and consumer surplus increaseChoice 4 of 4:Both producer and consumer surplus decrease
Consider the supply of soybeans in South America and the demand for soybeans in China. Draw a graph in which you show the current market equilibrium price of soybeans and quantity of soybeans traded. Include the curve that shows the true social costs of soybean production. Show the socially optimal amount of soybeans traded. Show the price that should really be charged for soybeans to ensure that production moves to the socially optimal level. Ensure that you label your graph correctly (all curves, axes, prices and quantities labeled). Show the deadweight loss of soybean production. What intervention could be used to change the market price for soybeans to the level that would move the quantity of soybeans traded to the optimal level? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.

In 1998, California became the first state to adopt rules requiring many sport utility vehicles, pickups, and minivans to meet the same pollution standards as regular cars, effective in 2004. As the deadline drew near, a business group (which may have an incentive to exaggerate) estimated that using the new technology to reduce pollution would increase vehicle prices by as much as $7,000. A spokesperson for the California Air Resources Board, which imposed the mandate, said that the additional materials cost was only about $70 to $270 per vehicle. Suppose that the two major producers are Toyota and Ford, and these firms were price setters with differentiated products. Show the effect of the new regulation. Is it possible that the price for these vehicles would rise by substantially more than the marginal cost would? Explain your answer.
