The demand curve for a public park for two consumers who represent society is given by: P = 150 – QD1, P = 250 - QD2 Graph the two demand curves and show the marginal social benefit curve for this public park. If the marginal cost of providing the park was €240, what would the optimum provision of this park be? Explain why any quantity above or below this amount would represent a less than efficient allocation.

Refer to Table 8-1 in Question 9. Suppose the cost to build the park is $24 per acre and that the residents have agreed to split the cost of building the park equally, as in Question 10. If the residents decide to build a park with size equal to the number of acres that maximizes total social surplus from the park, how much total surplus (i.e., net benefit) will Xavier receive? (enter just the number, no $)

3. Now reconsider the issue of soybeans from the perspective of Chinese consumers. Assume you are a Chinese consumer who drinks soymilk each day. Demonstrate using a graph how your consumption of soymilk differs from the socially optimal level. Is the price you pay for soymilk in current market conditions the correct amount, too high, or too low? Why? Ensure that you label your graph correctly (all curves, axes, price and quantities labeled). Show the deadweight loss of soymilk consumption, and what price should be charged for soymilk to move the amount of soymilk you drink to the optimal level.
Weel explained answer needed no Ai The Coase Theorem states that: a) As long as property rights are well defined and no transaction costs exist, an efficient allocation will result b)As long as property rights are well defined and transaction costs are high, an efficient allocation will result. c)An efficient allocation will be equitable to all parties concerned. d)Property rights should initially be assigned to those affected by a negative externality.

Suppose the following graph shows the demand for, and supply of, apartments in New York City. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium monthly rent and quantity of apartments in the absence of price controls. Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to fill the area representing consumers' surplus, and use the purple point (diamond symbol) to fill the area representing producers' surplus.

Externalities - Definition and examples An externality arises when a firm or person engages in an activity that affects the wellbeing of a third party, yet neither pays nor receives any compensation for that effect. If the impact on the third party is adverse, it is called a ___________ externality. The following graph shows the demand and supply curves for a good with this type of externality. The dashed drop lines on the graph reflect the market equilibrium price and quantity for this good.
Small engines are the main components of office and house appliances like printers, hand dryers, microwave ovens, food processors, etc. The graph depicts the market for small engines in the United States. Suppose that the government imposes a $15 tariff on each imported engine in an effort to bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States. Place the Waste shape to describe the waste of resources that would result from the trade restriction.

Bicycle paths are public goods that can be supplied at cost C = 10Q + Q2 where Q measures kilometers of bicycle paths. There are only two people in this city Mr. A and Ms. B. Describe the free-rider problem associated with the supply of this good. Suppose that demand is given by QA = 50 ‒ 0.5P and QB = 25 ‒ P. Find the efficient quantity of paths. Provide a fully labeled demand curve diagram. Calculate the cost of supplying the efficient quantity and suggest how this cost might be recovered from the two consumers
Marginal Social Cost: P = 1 + 2 Q Graph the market. Be sure to fully and clearly label the graph, including: the Demand (D), the Marginal Private Cost (MPC), the Marginal Social Cost (MSC), the Private Equilibrium Quantity (Qpe), Private Equilibrium Price as (Ppe), the Socially Optimal Price (Ps), the Socially Optimal Quantity (Qs), and the Deadweight Loss (DWL).
Consider a situation where Ron (R) and Nancy (N) have demands for a private good that can be represented by the following functions: D_R: Q_R = 18 - 3P_R D_N: Q_N = 11 - 2P_N If Ron and Nancy are the only two consumers of this private good and the supply function for the good is: S: Q = -1 + P What is the aggregate quantity of the good they buy?
