- ECONOMICS Please Show Your Work With an Explanation This problem set explores what happens to pricing when we add network effects, which are a specific form of positive externality. You’ve invented a 3D fax machine. This cool technology is almost like a Star Trek teleporter. You can scan an object at one machine, which creates an exact copy at another 3D fax machine. It is so valuable that as more people use it, it becomes more valuable, and the price any given user is willing to pay increases in turn. Consider a scenario in which there are 12 possible users, who each value the fax machine at i*n, where i is the index of that user (from 1 to 12), and n is the number of other purchasing users. So, if no one buys the 3D fax machine, everyone values it at 0. However, as soon as one person buys the device, then the 12 possible users begin to value the product at 1, 2, … 12, respectively. If 2 people purchase, the 12 possible users’ valuations increase to 2, 4, … 24, and so on. Because…arrow_forwardThe figure to the right shows the market for one-bedroom apartments in Calgary. If this market is initially unregulated, thousand units will rent for a price of $ per month. Suppose however, the city imposes the controlled price shown in the figure. In this case, in the short run, the market experiences an excess of thousand units. In the long run, if the controlled price remains in place, the market will show a of thousand units. This analysis indicates that as time passes, rent controls will cause housing shortages to Rental Price ($ per month) 905 610 Rental Housing Market Sshort run Slong run Controlled Price 24 50 60 Quantity of Rental Units (Thousands)arrow_forwardPlease think of one example of a product that you use on a regular basis for which some of the cost of production or consumption are externalized. Please explain. What will be the long-term cost for or impact on society of this externalization? How much more would you be willing to pay for that product in order to have all costs factored into the price?arrow_forward
- Use the ideas of consumer surplus and producer surplus to explain why economists say competitive markets are effificient. Why are below- or above-equilibrium levels of output ineffificient, according to these two sets of ideas?arrow_forwardThe following question refers to the diagram below, which illustrates the market for a good whose production results in a negative externality. If there is no regulation in place to correct the externality, which area represents MARKET surplus? That is, at the market equilibrium, what area is consumer surplus, plus producer surplus, not considering damage to the environment? Select an answer and submit. a) a. b) a – d. c) a + b. d) a + b + e.arrow_forwardIf the daily demand curve for gasoline is as provided in the following graph, then how much consumer surplus would consumers receive if the market price for gasoline was $1.60 per litre? What about for a price of $1.20 per litre? Price ($ per litre) $3.00 $1.60 $1.20 040 120 200 280 Demand 360 440 Quantity of gasoline (millions of litres)arrow_forward
- The market for plasticans is perfectly competitive. Market Supply is given by Q=6P and Market Demand is given by Q=487-3P. Each extra unit of plastican produced imposes a negative externality of $5. What is the total cost of the externality at the market equilibrium? Enter a number only, no $ sign. Do NOT include a negative sign. 1,623.33arrow_forwardThe graph shows the schedule for hours of tutoring in economics. If the price increases from equilibrium at $10 to $15, total surplus for the market will decrease by, in numerals, $_____. Please type the correct answer in the following input field, and then select the submit answer button or press the enter key when finished. Your answer:arrow_forwardSuppose 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 competitive equilibrium, QC and PC.arrow_forward
- 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 H is 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? 4 units 10 units 7 units 5 units 0 unitsarrow_forwardThe restaurant industry develops an exciting new technology, a robot that quickly prepares food in half the usual time of chefs. This increases supply (producers save costs on labor) and demand (consumers find it fun to watch the robot make a meal) such that the price remains constant. However, the robot runs on coal and produces a lot of pollution, generating an external cost on production. How do consumer and producer surplus change as a result of this new technology? Choice 1 of 4:Consumer surplus increases but the change in producer surplus is indeterminateChoice 2 of 4:Producer surplus increases but the change in consumer surplus is indeterminateChoice 3 of 4:Both producer and consumer surplus increaseChoice 4 of 4:Both producer and consumer surplus decreasearrow_forwardNeed some assistance answering these questionsarrow_forward
