5. Explain the difference between socially optimal and fair return pricing regulations. Use a graph.
Socially optimal price is the price which is set by the interaction of marginal social benefits ( MSB) and marginal social cost (MSC) .MSC Is some total of marginal financial costs and externalities. If externalities are negative then MSC> MC and vice versa. Socially optimal price remains higher/lower than fair regulated price depending on type of externalities . On the other hand fair return pricing regulations are set so that firms ( particularly imperfectly competitive firms) operate at P = ATC. Thus producers are only able to cover their costs and so earn only a normal profits, whereas in the former case firms can earn even higher profits .
5. Explain the difference between socially optimal and fair return pricing regulations. Use a graph.
Based on the graph shown here, what is the socially optimal (efficient) quantity of this good ? Price ($) MSC $25 Supply (MPC) $15 $12 $8 Demand (MB) $2 50 100 Quantity O greater than 100 O 100 O between 50 and 100 O 50 less than 50

3. In 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled natural gas wellhead prices should be regulated in addition to the ongoing pipeline regulation. Each producer received a rate of return based on their cost of service. Natural gas producers had natural monopoly characteristics. A typical monopoly operates at a quantity where MR = MC and sets price based on the demand curve at that quantity. On the graph below, this is represented by point M, with corresponding price and quantity of...
