Gozilla Inc. can generate 100 (CO2) emissions without any regulation. The marginal control cost for Gozilla Inc., associated with emission reduction, is known MC=20+0.5Q where Q is reduced units. Suppose that the regulator impose an emission standard on Gozilla: According to the emission standard, the factory is allowed to emit 40 units. Gozilla Inc. will clean up regulation is units of pollutant under the emission standard. The total control cost for Gozilla Inc. in this command-and-control Hint: Type integers.

Demand for a good is given by Q = 100 - P. Assume that the market is perfectly competitive, so that the industry supply curve is equal to the private marginal cost of production: MC = 10 + Q. There is also a $10 per unit negative externality. What will the equilibrium quantity be if the firm only pays for its private costs, i.e. does not internalize the externality?
Problem 3 Squeak eClean produces commercial sanitizer used to clean tanker trucks that haul liquid food products such as milk. This sanitizer a commodity like any other and at the wholesale level, there are many domestic and foreign producers that compete vigorously. Suppose you have the following estimated market demand and supply functions for the sanitizer. Qd=248.08 +2.2Y – 0.6Pc+ 1.2 Ps − 4P Qs = 10 +2P In these equations, Q measures output in gallons per month (in 1,000's), P is the price per gallon of the sanitizer, Y is annual average household income (in 1,000's), Pc is an index of commodity prices, and Ps is the average price per gallon of other types of sanitizer. After gathering the latest data, you find that average household income is $36,400, the current level of the commodity price index is 110.6, and the average price per gallon of other types of sanitizers is $48.50. a. Find the current equilibrium price and quantity in this market. b. Find the equilibrium price and…
3) A chemical company can produce Q units of a chemical H, with marginal costs of MC = 9 + Q. and can distribute the chemical at marketing marginal costs of MC = 1. The demand for His given by P = 30-1.5Q. If an external market exists where H can be bought or sold without marketing expenses for $13, how much H should the firm produce? 00 units 4 units 05 units 07 units 10 units
Consider a market with two polluting firms with linear marginal abatement cost curves. Firm B has increasing marginal abatement costs that are everywhere half as high as Firm A’s marginal abatement costs. The maximum amount of pollution that can be tolerated is less than the total these two firms would emit if their pollution was unrestricted. Thus some aggregate amount of abatement is necessary. The pollutant in question is uniformly mixing, so it doesn’t matter which firm cuts back how much, only that between them, they cut back by the required total amount. The environmental agency decides to solve the abatement allocation problem by giving out pollution permits in amounts such that each firm would be obliged to cut back their emissions by an equal amount. Would this be “fair”? Would it be “efficient”?
Consider the following table, describing each person's willingness to pay for different levels (units) mosquito control. Mosquito control is a public good for this society. Demand for Mosquito Control Person A Level WTP($) Person B Person C WTP($) WTP($) 10 25 16 15 20 20 14 12 30 15 12 8. 40 10 10 6. 50 5 8 3 The marginal cost of producing one unit of mosquito control is $35 and constant. Assuming there is no Free-Rider issue, the private level of mosquito control supplied would be units. The optimal level of mosquito control however, would be units.
A monopoly produces a good with a network externality at a constant marginal and average cost of c = $2. In the first period, its inverse demand curve is p 14-1Q. In the second period, its inverse demand curve is p=14-1Q unless it sells at least Q = 8 units in the first period. If it meets or exceeds this target, then the demand curve rotates out by a (it sells a times as many units for any given price), so that its inverse demand curve is p=14- - 1/10. The monopoly knows that it can sell no output after the second period. The monopoly's objective is to maximize the sum of its profits over the two periods. For what values of a would the monopoly earn a higher two-period profit by setting a lower price in the first period? . (round your answer to two decimal places) If a is
The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency investigates how emissions of an environmentally hazardous substance from an industrial sector should be regulated, either through a tax on the emissions or through a quantitative regulation (limit value). As this is a new substance (new substance), knowledge of the level of environmental damage and the costs of reducing emissions is uncertain. In more technical terms: the regulatory authorities do not have complete information on the positions on either the dD / dM curve (marginal damages) or the MAC curve (marginal abatement costs). a) Explain and show graphically whether - and if so how - the uncertainty about the position of the MAC curve affects the choice between regulating emissions with a tax or limit value from a socio-economic efficiency perspective. b) Explain and show graphically whether - and if so how - the uncertainty about the position of the dD / dM curve affects the choice between regulating emissions with a tax or limit…
