A |
If college sports are a public good then the market will make enough quantity to satisfy what is the socially optimal level. |
|
B |
If college sports are a public good then there is a market breakdown. The market will produce a lower quantity than what is the socially optimal level. |
|
C |
If college sports are a public good then the market will make a quantity greater than what is needed to satisfy what is the socially optimal level. |
B If college sports are a public good then there is a market breakdown. The market will produce a lower quantity than what is the socially optimal level.
(If they were a public good then they would cause positive externality due to which they would be undersupplied.)

Question 3 [20 marks] (i) What is a public good and why does the market fail in the presence of a public good? (5) (ii) Explain how we can resolve this issue where the existence of a public good causes market failure. (5) (iii) Why will private markets produce an inefficient output of a public good? Explain how the efficient level of a public good is determined. (5) (iv) Education is frequently cited as a source of external benefits. In...
Suppose the government is producing a public good. If the marginal benefit of the last unit of a public good produced is greater than the marginal cost of that unit, to achieve the efficient amount of production, what should be done? A. The government should produce more units. B. The government should cease production. C. Private firms should take over the production and sale of the good. D. Nothing because the government is already producing the efficient quantity of the...
ar Oenion Supply Curve Quantity Supplied Price that firm offers product to break even 10 Demand Curve Price paid by consumers 10 Quantity Demanded Because of the pollution, the firm causes $2 of damage per unit produced. Even though we are looking at firm, assume that the price is set as in a competitive market Hint: Draw the demand curves and the supply curves 5. If the firm uses private cost to set the price at which it offers its...
What do economists say is problematic with the allocative efficiency of a monopoly? Consumers will suffer from a monopoly because it will sell a higher quantity in the market at a lower price compared to a firm in a perfectly competitive market. Monopolies are not inefficient. They produce the optimal quantity of some output the quantity where the marginal benefit to society of one more unit just equals the marginal cost. Companies can offer a wide range of services at...
1. Suppose the inverse demand curves for Person A and Person B for a PUBLIC GOOD are given by PA-90 -0.30A Ps - 40 - 0.20 and that MC - $35. a Derive the market demand curve. b. Calculate the efficient market allocation (Can). c. Derive the efficient pricing scheme. (Hint: different prices for different individuals) d. If the individuals acted independently, how much of each good would each individual purchase in the market? c. How many total units would...
3. Imagine there exist three consumers, each with their own demand curves for a Public Good. The equations below provide the demand curves for each consumer for this public good where P is the unit price of the public good and Q is the unit value of the public good. Consumer 1: P = 200 – Q Consumer 2: P= 40 – 30 Consumer 3: P = 50 - Q. The total cost (TC) producing the public good is given...
