NAME: Assignment 7-Complete and hand in at the beginning of your scheduled discussion section (10/29-11/4) 1. The noise that is associated with bans might be considered a milance by some members of a neighborhood Show graphically a market for bars where the member of bars might be greater than the social optimum when noise is considered Consider the following graph when answering questions 2-5. 2. How many units will the market in equilibrium produce and sell? a 01 b. Q2...
10 In the figure below, what is the size of the externality, and what is the socially optimal quantity? Supply (Private Cost) Social Cost Price Po P. P2 Ps Demand (social value) Q2 Quantity Q3 Q4 a) P1-P3 is the size of the externality, and the socially optimal quantity is Q1. b) P1-P3 is the size of the externality, and the socially optimal quantity is Q2 c) P1-P2 is the size of the externality, and the socially optimal quantity is...
Question 1: For this question, ignore any externalities that might be associated with the production of honey. Graphically indicate the demand (D0) and Supply (S0) and the equilibrium in the market for honey. Show the equilibrium price and quantity, Q0 and P0. Indicate on your graph the areas of consumer surplus and producer surplus. What is the output level the Benevolent Dictator would like to see in this market? Why? Question 2: Now suppose that scientists have discovered that the...
3. Count von Count likes to (loudly) count passing cars next to Oscar's home. This creates a negative externality via noise pollution that irritates Oscar. The marginal private cost of counting is 40, and marginal damage is given by 2Q, so: MPC 40 MD 2Q a) Explain why the existence of externalities can be considered a market failure. b) lgnoring the externality, find the privately optimal quantity (Qo) of counting if the marginal benefit is given by: MB 60 2Q....
Count von Count likes to (loudly) count passing cars next to Oscar’s home. This creates a negative externality via noise pollution that irritates Oscar. The marginal private cost of counting is 40, and marginal damage is given by 2Q, so: MPC = 40 MD = 2Q a) Explain why the existence of externalities can be considered a market failure. b) Ignoring the externality, find the privately optimal quantity (Q0) of counting if the marginal benefit is given by: MB =...

Problem Set 2. Market Failure: Externalities and Common Pool Resources EconS 326 1. Cigarette production requires use of energy, water and other resources. When planting tobacco leaves, fertilizer is used that creates runoff and water pollution in waterways. Tobacco smoke pollutes indoor and outdoor environments and remains a pervasive and persistent source of toxicants long after the cigarette is extinguished. a. Is there too little, too much or the correct amount of cigarette produced or consumed from a socially optimal...
Worksheet 3 Macroeconomics Ch. 5 Market Failures 1. Externalities. A study finds that leaf blowers make too much noise, so the government imposes a $10 tax on the same of every unit to correct for the social cost of the noise pollution. The tax completely internalizes the externality. Before the corrective tax, Blown Away Manufacturing regularly sold blowers for $100. After the tax is in place, the consumer price for leaf blowers is $105. a. Describe the impact of the...
