Q₁0 Q₂ 120 MNB₁ 0 tons 20 million tons. A 50 million tons 60 million tons 100 million tons B 70 50 C MNB₂ D 100 20 E The graph above shows the potential ways to allocate a nonrenewable resource across two generations with a total supply of 120 million tons. The curve MNB, shows the marginal net benefits in the current generation and MNB₂ shows the marginal net benefits in the second generation after discounting. If the market for the resource were allowed to go to equilibrium in the first generation, without any regulation, how much of the resource would be consumed in the second generation? s 120 0

Overfishing of this species, particularly in the Mediterranean Sea, has led to the strong possibility of extinction. The graph illustrates the marginal social cost (MSC), marginal private cost (MPC), and marginal social benefit (MSB) for a hypothetical representation of the Bluefin tuna market. Use the graph to answer the questions. What is the socially optimal price and quantity?

Lecture: Externality - Pigou8. All-Leather is a tanning company located on Lake Michigan in Chicago. Its total cost functionis C(QA) = 125 + 8QA + 5QA2, where QA is leather production per week in thousands of pounds.a) If leather sells for $408 per thousand pounds, how much leather will All-Leather produce?How much profit does All-leather earn?Enjoy is a beverage company located on Lake Michigan near All-Leather in Chicago. Enjoy’sproduction of beverages is negatively affected by water pollution from All-Leather’s productionof leather. Enjoy’s total cost function to produce beverages isC(QE) = 10QE +3QE2 + 3QA2where QE is Enjoy’s weekly production of beverages, in thousandsof gallons and, as above, QA is All-Leather’s weekly production of leather.b) Is this an example of a pecuniary externality or a real externality?

Question 11. Rhinoceroses are an endangered species. Worldwide, the number of rhinos has decreased 90 percent in the past 50 years, to about 29,000. Since 1977, CITES has had ban on international trade in rhino parts. The most valuable part of a rhino is its horn. which can be sold for prices that have risen as high as $100,000 per kilogram. Given the very high price, illegal poaching, in which rhinos are killed for their horns, has increased rapidly Interestingly, if done properly, the horn of a rhino can be harvested without kill- ing the rhino, and the horn will grow back. What challenges does CITES face in attempting to prevent international trade from contributing to the extinction of the rhino?

Table 17-5. Imagine a small town in which only two residents, Kunal and Naj, own wells that produce safe drinking water. Each week Kunal and Naj work together to decide how many gallons of water to pump, to bring the water to town, and to sell it at whatever price the market will bear. Assume Kunal and Naj can pump as much water as they want without cost so that the marginal cost of water equals zero.The weekly town demand schedule and total revenue schedule for water are shown in the table below.

Kara and Kyle are competing sockeye salmon fishers. They have been allocated ITQS (individual transferable quotas) that limit their total catch to 2,000 tons of sockeye salmon per fisher. Kara's costs of catching salmon are $6 per ton, and Kyle's costs are $10 per ton. Instructions: Enter your answers as a whole number. a. If the market price of sockeye salmon is $15 per ton, and Kara and Kyle both catch their quota, what will be their combined profit? b. What is the maximum amount Kara would be willing to pay per ton for Kyle's ITQS? per ton c. What is the minimum amount per ton that Kara would have to offer Kyle to convince him to sell his ITQS to her? $ per ton d. If Kara pays Kyle $6 per ton for his ITQS, and if she then catches her new limit of 4,000 tons, what will be their combined profit?
Suppose that a chemical manufacturing plant is releasing nitrogen oxides into the air, and these emissions are associated with health and ecological damages. Economists have estimated the following marginal costs and benefits for the chemical market, where Q is monthly output in thousands of pounds and P is price per pound. MSB = 50 – 0.4Q; MSC = 2 + 0.4Q; MEB = 0; MEC = 0.2Q. Find the dollar value of a product charge that would achieve an efficient solution.
