Given the same marginal damage and same marginal abatement cost curve, the socially efficient emission subsidy is the same magnitude (dollars per ton) as the socially efficient emission tax (dollars per ton). True False Next
Suppose the demand for a product is P = 400 - 0.25 Q and the supply of the product is P = 100 +0.75 P where Q is output and P is price. Suppose also that the marginal external cost (MEC) from production is constant and equal to 50$ per unit. What is the competitive (private) efficient level of output? What is the socially efficient level of output?
Your neighbor has a tree that blocks your view of a distant hill. Your neighbor values the tree at $100. You value the tree's removal at $150. Tree removal costs $60. In this case, property rights are clear. Your neighbor owns the airspace extending above his house for some distance. Transaction costs in this case are unknown. would be equal to zero. would prohibit a private solution to the external cost. would allow for a private solution to the external cost.
1. XYZ Enterprises Company has a cost function represented by TC = 400 + Q06 and it faces a perfectly competitive price of $ 20 for its output. Required: Calculate the company's competitive output level. Given that the company is exerting a negative externality and its total social cost of Production is estimated to be TSC = Q0.4. If market price remains the same at $ 20, calculate the socially optimal level of production for ABC Ltd Company. If the government imposes an excise tax to bring about optimal level of production, calculate the level of tax to be imposed in such a case How much tax revenue would the government raise in this situation from this Company? 2. The government desires to construct a bypass road to ease congestion in that area. It conducts a survey that entailed three groups of individuals and came up with three demand equations as given below: Groupl: D1=20-0.2P1 Group2: D2= 35 - 0.5P2 Group3: D3=40-0.8P3Where D is the…
Externalities: Suppose the daily inverse demand curve for gasoline in Portland is given by P = $100 – Q, the MC = 1.5Q, and the EMC = 1.5Q. Q is measured in thousands of gallons of gasoline per day. a. Graph the demand, marginal cost, and external marginal cost functions. b. How many gallons will be consumed per day if gasoline consumers do not consider the EMC of gasoline? c. How many gallons of gasoline will be consumed per day if gasoline consumers consider the EMC.
The following graph shows the demand (marginal private benefits) and supply (marginal private costs) curves for a good. The dashed drop lines on the graph reflect the market equilibrium price and quantity for this good. Suppose that a negative externality arises as a result of the production of this good. Adjust the following graph by shifting one of the curves to reflect the presence of the negative externality. PRICE AND COST greater less The market output is greater QUANTITY Supply Demand than the socially optimal output. Demand Supply (?

2. The PMB associated with a product's consumption is PMB-SMB = 360 - 4Q and the PMC = 6Q. The marginal external damage associated with this good's production is MD=2Q. To correct the externality, the government decides to impose a tax of $T per unit sold. | a) What is the level of production without pollution? b) What is the socially optimal level of production? c) What tax should the government set to achieve the social optimum? d) Explain the difference in the two values in (a) and (b)?

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.
The market for some public good consists of only two consumers, Elena and Talia. The marginal cost of providing this good is described by MC = 3 + 5Q. Elena's MWTP = 40 - 3Q and Talia's MWTP = 10 - 2Q. What is the socially-efficient quantity of this good? Round to the nearest whole unit
