Consider that the new more eco-friendly coal briquettes for heating stove fire costs 3,750₮ per bag of 25kg. Yet the same amount of raw unprocessed coal costs 2,000₮ for about the same 25kg bag. As you can imagine people will keep buying the cheaper raw coal for the winter cold months. a. Please draw side-by side the supply and demand diagrams of a Raw coal and New processed coal bags. Mark all the necessary points and units that we normally mark. b. What kind of an externality would you say this RAW coal has and how would it impact the bystanders?c. We can't precisely measure the cost of the actual externality from raw coal, but we can almost certainly assume that at least the amount of price difference is the externality cost. What would you recommend the government do to improve the situation? Show it on the graph and mark to clearly suggest your solution.
