Suppose the demand (i.e. the private marginal benefit) for industrial grade stink bombs is given by P=300-2Q and supply (i.e. the private marginal cost) for is given by P=Q. Also, suppose that the marginal external damage of consuming this product is $60 per stink bomb.
a. What is the equilibrium quantity of stink bombs sold and consumed?
b. What is the socially optimal equilibrium quantity of stink bombs sold and consumed?
c. Considering your answers to (a) and (b), are stink bombs over or under consumed in the free market relative to the social optimal amount? Why?
d. Calculate the deadweight loss associated with the externality.
e. To eliminate the deadweight loss, would the government need to impose a corrective tax or subsidy on stink bombs? What should the magnitude of that tax/subsidy be?
GRAPH AND EXPLAIN! (I understand A and C mainly just need the graphs and math on how to find the rest)

Suppose the marginal cost for water production in a small country is 20 + Q, and the demand for water is P = 80 – 2Q, where P is the dollar price and Q is the tons of water produced. Suppose the processing procedure generates pollution, which incurs damage to the environment described by a marginal function of MEC = Q. (The externality does not directly harm producers or consumers.) A.) What quantity will the market tend to without any...

Consider the market for private economics help. Assume it is perfectly competitive. The market's inverse demand curve is p = 1600 -5Q, with Q being the number of students receiving help per quarter and p being price per quarter. Economics help private marginal cost curve is MCP = 100 + 5Q. Also assume that, because economics professors curve their classes, when one student improves her grade, it causes every other student to have a lower grade. This is a negative...
