30 8 01:12:27 Mc Graw Hill Use the following supply and demand graph to answer the question below. Price 0 ABC D₂ Multiple Choice Quantity S₁ and D₁ represent the current market supply and demand, respectively. S2 and D2 represent the socially optimal supply and demand. One way that the government could shift demand to its socially optimal level is to tax the sellers subsidize the buyers. tax the buyers
10. A local drama company proposes a new neighborhood theater in San Francisco. Before approving the permit, the city planner completes a study of the theater's impact on the surrounding community. a. One finding of the study is that the theaters attract traffic, which adversely affects the community. The city planner estimates that the cost to the community from the extra traffic is $5 per ticket. What kind of an externality is this? Why? b. Graph the market for theater tickets, labeling the demand curve, the social-value curve, the supply curve, the social-cost curve, the market equilibrium level of output. Also show the per-unit amount of the externality. c. Upon further review, the city planner uncovers a second externality. Rehearsals for the plays tend to run until late at night, with actors, stagehands, and other theater members coming and going at various hours. The planner has found that the increased foot traffic improves the safety of the surrounding streets, an estimated…

What is the amount of the the corrective tax/subsidy needed to be to move the outcome from the market equilibrium to the socially-optimal outcome?

Some economists argue that early child care generates an external benefit to society. Consider the following supply-and-demand graph for early childhood education. A. How does the market equilibrium differ from what is best for society? B. If the government was going to provide a per-unit subsidy in this market in order to achieve the socially optimal outcome, how large of a subsidy would the government ne to provide? C. How much in total would the government need to spend in this market each month to achieve a socially optimal outcome? Price ($ per month) Supply $1,300 $1,200 $1,000 $900 Marginal social benefit Marginal private benefit (demand) 23 26 Quantity (millions per month)

Principles of Microeconomics Prof. Pinyuan Dong Due October 12, 2022 Problem Set 2 A. Suppose the demand and supply for the market of cigarettes in a city is given by QD = 400-50P, Qs = 50P. 1. Graph the demand and supply curves. What is the market equilibrium price and quantity? 2. The city council wants to discourage smoking. If the socially optimal demand for cigarettes is QD 200-50P, what can the city council do to achieve the socially optimal demand? 3. What is the quantity of cigarette sold after the government takes appropriate actions? How much do consumers pay and how much do producers get? Is the government action effective in its objective of discouraging cigarette consumption? B. Suppose the local gas station in a small town sells regular gasoline at $4/gallon. The gas station sells 100 gallons in a day. Due to global gas prices, it increased the price to $5/gallon. The next day, the gas station is only selling 90 gallons a day 1. Using these two points, calculate the price…
