Consider a case of positive externality generated through the use of alternative energy sources, such as photovoltaic or wind power, in the form of reduced carbon emissions to the atmosphere or simply say reduced air pollution. The demand for alternative energy is given by marginal private benefit curve (MPB) MPB = 40 – Q. The supply of alternative energy is represented by the marginal private cost curve (MPC): MPC = 20 + Q. In both MPB and MPC curves, Q represents the amount of alternative energy demanded or supplied in Kilo-Watt-hours (in thousands). Further, consider that the use of each unit of Q generates $10 external benefits to the society in the form of reduced air pollution. Given the above information: | a) Find the optimal amount of alternative energy and corresponding per unit price without considering the externality benefits of the use of alternative energy sources.
