answer the following based on the information provided and the graph
If a positive demand-side externality (also called a positive externality in consumption) occurs, then:
a. The market provides the efficient allocation.
b. The market under-provides the product, meaning the market allocation is less than the efficient allocation.
c. The market does not provided the product, hence market failure occurs.
d. The market over-provides the product, meaning the market allocation is more than the efficient allocation.
Let the supply and demand for widgets be given by the following schedule.
Price: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
Quantity Supplied: 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900
Quantity Demanded: 900, 800, 700, 600, 500, 400, 300, 200, 100
a. What quantity will be produced here?
b. What quantity is efficient if there are no external costs or benefits?
c. What quantity is efficient if there is an external cost of $6 per unit from pollution caused by the widget factories?
