- The market for pencils perfectly competitive without externalities. Market demand is Q=364-2P and Market Supply is P=2Q+19. What is the market Consumer Surplus and the Producer Surplus?arrow_forwardCan you answer this?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
- Please only solve these following ones if it is hard to explain the reasons. 1) External cost, external benefit or neither?2) Recommend Taxing or Subsidizing?arrow_forwardConsider the above graph. Is there an externality present in this market? If so, what kind? No, there is no externality. Yes, a negative externality. Yes, a positive externality.arrow_forwardDefine the concept of a negative externality and explain the nature of the negative externality in the fishing markets i.e. describe how the self-interested actions of a fishing company might adversely affect third parties without their consent.arrow_forward
- Scenario 10-1 The demand curve for gasoline slopes downward and the supply curve for gasoline slopes upward. The production of the 1,000th gallon of gasoline entails the following: a private cost of $3.10 • a social cost of $3-55 a value to consumers of $3.70 Refer to Scenario 10-1. Suppose the equilibrium quantity of gasoline is 1,150 gallons; that is, QMARKET = 1,150. Then the equilibrium price of a gallon could be a. $3.30. b. $3.80. c. $3.00. d. $2.80.arrow_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_forwardThe price of good X is $7. But each unit of good X produces has an external cost of $1. What is the social cost of one unit of good X?arrow_forward
- Given the following information: Initially, a perfectly competitive market for a product is in equilibrium, with an upward-sloping straight-line market supply curve, a downward-sloping straight-line market demand curve, and a market price of $30 per unit. Consumption of this product causes pollution. Initially, the marginal external cost of the pollution caused by consuming the product is $9 per unit. There is no government policy toward the externality. The government then mandates a shift to a new product version, and all firms adopt and produce the latest version. Consumers view the new product version as equally as good as the initial product version. Consumption of the new version of the product causes less pollution, and the marginal external cost decreases by $3 per unit. For each firm, production of the new product version does not change fixed cost, but it does increase average variable cost by $3 per unit. If necessary, the market adjusts to a new equilibrium. There is…arrow_forwardCalculate private market equilibrium and the socially optimal equilibrium for the following negative production externality.
