Suppose there are 50 homeowners living on the lakeshore, and that each has MB = 25 - 5x, where x is the number of tankful that are sprayed. Suppose that the cost of the mosquito spray is $100 for every tankful and that mosquito spray is a pure public good. What is the free market output?

For free market output, we use demand = supply. Here supply is fixed at MC = $100
Then the demand is MB = 25 - 5x which implies each person can maximum pay $25 for one tank
However each tank requires a minimum contribution of $100
This implies that private market will not be able to supply this pure public good
The correct answer is 0 units.

1. Suppose that Adam's willingness To Pay (WTP) for a shirt of a particular brand is equal to 525. The market price of the brand is initially = $35 (thus, Adam's "consumer's surplus" SO, since he won't buy the shirt at that price). But then the brand becomes less popular (although Adam's WTP still equals 5 25; note that the Demand Curve will shift to the left when the brand becomes less popular). a.) Use a relevant graph to show...
