4. The paper industry has the demand and supply curves shown below:
Price of paper
Quantity demanded
Quantity supplied
80
40
70
50

60
60
50
70
a. Suppose that this industry results in extreme externalities. What can be
said about its optimal output?
b. Draw the supply and demand curves for paper. Does the supply curve
reflect the true social costs of producing the product? If not will a supply
curve reflecting the true social costs lies above or below the supply curve
you have drawn?
c. What is the equilibrium price of paper? From the point of view of
reflecting the true social costs, is this price the correct one, or too low or
too high?
Why is a price change NOT an externality?
Select one:
a. A price change affects bystanders, not market participants.
b. A price change does NOT change total costs or benefits, it only changes who buys the good.
c. A change in price changes the marginal benefit of a good but does NOT change who buys and sells the good.
d. A price change redistributes costs but not benefits.
What is the concept of a negative externality in economics? A. A benefit received by individuals who did not incur the cost B. A cost incurred by individuals who did not receive the benefit C. A situation where external parties receive equal benefits and costs D. A situation where the government intervenes in the market
