There are two consumers of mosquito abatement (a public good), Dash and Lily. Dash's benefit from mosquito abatement is given by MBD = 100 - Q, where Q is the quantity of mosquito abatement. Lily's benefit is given by MB2 = 60 – Q. a. Calculate the total marginal benefit, MBr. b. Suppose that mosquito abatement can be provided at a marginal cost of MC = 2Q. Find the socially optimal level of abatement. c. If mosquito abatement is privately supplied, what quantity will be supplied by Dash, and what quantity will be supplied by Lily? Briefly explain.

#9. A safe and effective coronavirus vaccine has positive externalities. Is it efficient for the government to provide this vaccine to everyone for free? a. Yes. Goods with positive externalities should always be free. b. Uncertain. Goods with positive externalities should be subsidized, but making them free is not necessarily efficient. c. No. According to the First Fundamental Welfare Theorem, the market will provide the efficient amount of vaccines on its own. с. d. No. Goods with positive externalities should be taxed.
In a market with 2 firms, the government has decided that 12 units of pollution must be abated and allocates each firm 6 units of pollution to abate. The total cost of pollution abatement for firm A is TCĄ = 9% and the total cost of pollution abatement for firm B is TCB B. If a market for pollution abatement was created, how much pollution would each firm abate in equilibrium? Firm A: 11 units; Firm B: 1 units O Firm A: 6 units; Firm B: 6 units Firm A: 4 units; Firm B: 8 units O Firm A: 1 units; Firm B: 11 units Firm A: 8 units; Firm B: 4 units

Consumers A, B, C, and D respectively have a willingness to pay of $130, $100, $80, and $50 for one widget. Firms W, X, Y, and Z each have capacity to produce one widget at respective costs of $10, $60, $90, and $110. If these are the only consumers and firms in this market, and there are no third party costs or benefits from widgets, what is the socially efficient quantity of widgets? 4 There is insufficient info to answer question 3 2

There are two consumers of mosquito abatement (a public good), Dave and Lilly. Dave’s benefit from mosquito abatement is given by ??? = 100 − ?, where Q is the quantity of mosquito abatement. Lilly’s benefit is given by ??? = 60 − ?.a. Calculate the total marginal benefit, ???.b. Suppose that mosquito abatement can be provided at a marginal cost of ?? = 2?. Find the socially optimal level of abatement. c. If mosquito abatement is privately supplied, what quantity will be supplied by Dave, and what quantity will be supplied by Lilly? Briefly explain.
The equations below represent the demand and supply curves for annual gym memberships in a city. qD= 500 − 2p, qS=0.5p − 50 Because physical activity leads to better health, the city estimates that each annual gym membership saves $30 of public spending on healthcare per year (a positive externality). a. In a graph, show the market and the socially optimal equilibria for annual gym memberships in this city. Does the market equilibrium result in under- or over-consumption of memberships? What is the deadweight loss associated with the market failure in this situation? b. Would you recommend this city to implement a subsidy (a negative Pigouvian tax) to correct this market failure? If so, how much would be the subsidy per unit? What would be the effects of your proposed policy on the quantity, price, and aggregate welfare?
Firms A and B each produce 80 units of pollution. The federal government wants to reduce pollution levels. The marginal costs associated with pollution reduction are MCA = 50 + 3QA for firm A and MCB = 20 + 6QB for firm B, where QA and QB are the quantities of pollution reduced by each firm. Society's marginal benefit from pollution reduction is given by MB = 590- 3Qtot, where Qtot is the total reduction in pollution. The socially optimal level of firm A's pollution reduction is Hint: Type integers. reduction is The socially optimal level of firm B's pollution
Suppose a positive externality is associated with college enrollment. Assume that college instruction is sold in a competitive market and that the marginal social cost of providing it increases with enrollment. Show how a corrective subsidy to college students will increase the market price of instruction. Show the net gain in well-being possible from the subsidy and the amount of tax revenue required to finance its costs on your graph. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.
