The many identical residents of some cities love drinking apple juice. The cost of producing a
bottle of apple juice is $5, and the competitive suppliers sell it at this price. Each resident has
the following willingness to pay for the tasty refreshment:
Quantity
Willingness to Pay
(Dollars)
First bottle
10
Second bottle
8
Third bottle
6.
Fourth bottle

Suppose the equation for the demand curve in a market is P=100 – 2Q. Also, suppose the equation for the supply curve in the same market is P=10+3Q. Suppose there is an external cost of $20 associated with the
production of each unit of the good. The socially optimal quantity is
O 4 units smaller than the market equilibrium quantity.
O 22 units greater than the market equilibrium quantity
O 14 units smaller than the market equilibrium quantity
O 4 units greater than the market equilibrium quantity.
