Use the diagram below and information provided to answer the question. Assume a pulp mill is the owner of a lake and you use the lake for fishing. The pulp mill uses the lake to discharges pollutants. You wo prefer the lake to be free of pollutants as you use it for recreation and fishing. The marginal damage function and marginal abatement cost are as follows.MD = 5E and MAC = 600 - 10E. At the socially efficient level of emission, net gain to you is Property rights and net social gains.

The production Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs (CFL) use mercury in their production process. Mercury is a heavy metal and considered bad for the environment. Suppose the marginal external cost is $5 per lightbulb and the government levies a corrective tax of $5.50 per lightbulb. With this new tax: Selected answer will be automatically saved. For keyboard navigation, press up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a b Question 4 с d The price will be below the marginal social cost. Not enough light bulbs will be produced. The price will be below the marginal social benefit. The price will be below the marginal cost to produce light bulbs.

1. Consider the following picture showing a market in which there is a positive externality: PMC=S Price 00 6 10 3 2 19 1 O 0 100 200 300 400 500 D=WTP SWTP 1,000 1,100 1,200 Quantity At market equilibrium, quantity is At market equilibrium, price is At the market equilibrium, the positive externality creates 2. Consider the graph in the previous example and answer the following questions. At the socially optimal level of production, consumer surplus is External benefits created by the good are in external benefits.

Define MCP = marginal private cost, MCS = marginal social cost, D = market demand, P = price, and Q = quantity. 4 10 (a) (b) (c) (d) 100 P MC, ML D If the market is competitive, what is the equilibrium price and quantity? Is this equilibrium outcome socially optimal? In terms of the areas denoted by A, B, and C, what is the deadweight loss to society if the market is competitive? What can the government do to achieve the socially optimal level of pollution?
