Answer- Correct option is 'D'
If there are external costs from production, we can assume that social costs of production exceed private costs of production. An extermal cost occurs when producing or consuming a good or service impose a cost (negative effect) upon a third party. If there are external costs in consuming a good (negative externalities), the social cost will be greater than the private cost. The existence of external costs can lead to market failure.

The market below exists for electricity produced by coal at a
power plant in Tennessee. The marginal private cost (MPC) curve
represents the private costs of the power plant to produce
electricity from coal. Coal-fired electricity generation, however,
also produces an externality. Production creates emissions that can
harm human health, contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, and
degrade ecosystems. The marginal social cost (MSC) curve represents
the cost of coal-fired electricity production in Tennessee,
including the costs borne by society. Use...

Steel production from a mill generates a negative externality because of the environmental damage linked to air and water pollution. Suppose the market demand and supply curves are given by: Demand (MB): P = 400 - 3Qd Supply (MC): P = 200 + Qs Q is tons of steel and P is price per ton of steel. Note in this form, the demand and supply curve are solved for P -- you can see directly the lines on our supply and demand...

3) Assume that the market for energy efficient window installations in San Diego is perfectly competitive. Quarterly inverse supply and inverse demand are: P 1200 3Q (Private MB) P 440Qs (Private MC) neighbors (lowering the overall price of electricity, reducing pollution, and so on) These external benefits to consumers are estimated to be EMB 2Q (the more windows installed, the more external benefit to installing more windows). a) Find the equilibrium price and quantity that will be produced in a...

Problem 2: Externality Consider the market for education. The marginal social cost of education (MSC) and the marginal private benefit of education (MPB) are given by the following equations where Q is the number of units of education provided per year. MSC 10+ Q MPB 100-Q You are also told that each unit of education provides an external benefit to society of $10 per unit. This external benefit is currently not being internalized in the market. a) Given the MSC...

An environmental economic consulting firm is hired to measure the negative externalities associated with the pollution from an industry. The consultants calculate the marginal social cost of production to be MSC 20+30 and the marginal private cost of production to be MPC-Q+30. The market demand curve can be expressed as P 60-Q. The sum of the consumer surplus plus producer surplus at the market equilibrium (i.e. the equilibrium where production decisions do...

Consider an industry where firms have a production function with private marginal cost ??? (?) = 40 + 2? and an additional (external) marginal cost to society of ??? (?) = ?/4. The market is characterized by the inverse demand function ?(?) = 400 − 2?. 1. Find the equilibrium in the competitive market. Calculate the (private) producer and consumer surplus in this case. 2. Find the equilibrium if the market is monopolized. Calculate the (private) producer and consumer surplus...

1. Pigovian Taxes Widgets are a necessary part of modern life, but they are also associated with considerable pollution and pollution-related externalities. Consider the private market for widgets described by the following private marginal benefit (MB) and private marginal cost (PMC) curves: ????= 100 − 0.15???? ??????= 4 + 0.06????. where ???? is the quantity demanded and ???? is the quantity supplied. Assume here that output (???? and ????) varies from 0 to 1000. After plotting these curves, use them...
