There is an excludeable public good. It will be provided by a club, which must fund the good through membership fees. Agents value the good differently, but the club manager knows the socially efficient level of the good. Consider the followng two properties. Which of these must be true for the manager to be able to set membership fees to fund the efficient level of the good? (i) The club manager knows each agents marginal valuation of the good at the efficient level. (ii) The club manager can charge different agents different membership fees. O a. Both (i) and (ii) must be true. O b. Only (ii) need be true. O c. Only (i) need be true. O d. Even if (i) and (ii) are true, this may not be possible.

Q: The consumption of pies doesn't generate any externalities, but the production of pies generate positive externalities. A. Draw a diagram of a positive externality that occurs in production. Please be sure to label all of your curves and axes, explain the market quantity and the efficient quantity and what area is the dead weight loss. B. Explain, in a sentence or two, why there might be a positive externality associated with the production of Pies.
4. Suppose the supply curve of portable radio rentals in Golden Gate Park is given by P= 5+ 0.1Q and the demand curve is by P = 20 -0.2Q. a. If each portable radio imposes $3 per day in noise costs on others, by how much will the market equilibrium quantity exceed the socially optimal number of rentals? b. How would the imposition of a $3 per unit tax affect the efficiency in this market?
(12) Consider a market with social marginal benefit (quantity demanded) given by SMB = 600 – Q and private marginal cost (quantity supplied) given by PMC = Q. Social marginal cost is given by SMC = 200 + Q. Assume SMB = PMB. (a) Graph these SMB, SMC, and PMC curves. (b) Find the market equilibrium price and quantity. (c) Find the socially optimal equilibrium price and quantity.

When externalities cause markets to be inefficient (x) government action is sometimes needed to solve the problem. (y) private solutions can be developed to solve the problem. (z) there is a way to eliminate the problem of externalities in the market if producers are provided with the appropriate incentives to internalize the externality. Select one or more: a. (x), (y) and (z) b. (x) and (y) only c. (x) and (z) only d. (y) and (z) only e. (z) only
Cause and Individual Example of Market Failure with a Negative Externality In Section 1, externalities are introduced as well as market failures, where the socially optimal output is not the same as what the market produces by itself. For this discussion, your task is to: Describe a real-world negative externality. In your externality identify who are the participants in the market and who receives the spillover How are the incentives for the firm misaligned from the rest of society to make the externality?
please answer all including ones that may have already been selected. Eric and Kenji are considering contributing toward the creation of a public park. Each can choose whether to contribute $300 to the public park or to keep that $300 for a cell phone. Since a public park is a public good, both Eric and Kenji will benefit from any contributions made by the other person. Specifically, every dollar that either one of them contributes will bring each of them $0.90 of benefit. For example, if both Eric and Kenji choose to contribute, then a total of $600 would be contributed to the public park. So, Eric and Kenji would each receive $540 of benefit from the public park, and their combined benefit would be $1,080. This is shown in the upper left cell of the first table. Since a cell phone is a private good, if Eric chooses to spend $300 on a cell phone, Eric would get $300 of benefit from the cell phone and Kenji wouldn't receive any benefit from Eric's choice. If Eric still spends $300…
Consider the production and sale of Good B. Suppose that the “Social Value” of each unit of Good B is greater than the “Willingness to Pay” of the individual who consumes that unit. There are NO externalities associated with the production or consumption of Good B, and Good B is sold in a competitive market. Suppose that the “Efficient” level of output for Good B is 400,000 units. Is the market equilibrium level of output greater than 400,000, less than 400,000, or equal to 400,000 ( just circle your answer; you don’t have to explain)?
When equilibrium output in a competitive market is at the socially efficient level: a) only market values are incorporated into marginal benefits to consumers and marginal costs of production. b) net social value is as large as possible. c) the marginal benefit to consumers may exceed or be less than the marginal cost of production. d) total willingness to pay is as large as possible.
Compared to ideal economic efficiency, when the production of a good generates external benefits, competitive markets will likely result in an output that is too A) large and a price that is too high. B) large and a price that is too low. C) small and a price that is too high. D) small and a price that is too low.
There are two people. Each person's demand for a public good is P = 20 - Q. The marginal cost of providing the public good is given by MC2 = $12 (MC is not $24). The above graph summarizes the relevant information. The total demand for the two workers shown above is the vertical sum of the demand curve for each worker.(a) What is the socially efficient quantity of the public good?(b) How much will each person have to pay per unit to provide the socially efficient quantity?(c) What is the consumer surplus for each person based on the quantity determined in (a) and the price determined in (b)?(d) Given that this is a public good, if either one of the two people does not pay the price you have stated in (b), can they be prevented from consuming the good?
QUESTION 5 Suppose there are two consumers A and B, and two goods x and y. A's utility function has the following form UA = XA - (XR)-1. Which of the following is true?

O Consumer B's consumption of good x exhibits a negative externality. O Consumer B's consumption of good x exhibits a positive externality. QUESTION 6 If we write possible outcomes as (Utility of A, Utility of B), which of the following outcomes would a Utilitarian social welfare function select O (19, 1) O (7, 7) O (-1, 22) O (0, 13) QUESTION 7 In the hotelling model, suppose firm 2 locates at 45 meters.
