Suppose there is an antibiotic that is produced by a monopolist that is very effective in treating some highly contagious diseases.
Show the total private surplus, the external benefits, and the total social surplus at both the quantity produced by the monopoly and the socially optimal quantity. Is there a deadweight loss?

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...

Practice Question 4. The inverse demand curve a monopoly faces is p = 30 – Q. The firm's total cost function is C(Q) = 0.5Q² and thus marginal cost function is MC(Q) = Q. (a) Determine the monopoly quantity, price and profit, and calculate the CS, PS and social welfare under the monopoly. (b) Determine the socially optimal outcome and calculate the CS, PS and social welfare under the social optimum. (c) Calculate the deadweight loss due to the monopolist...

Deadweight loss of monopoly Suppose that electricity consumers have an inverse demand curve given by: P(C)=1-, There is one supplier of electricity, which has a total cost function given by: ce) = You can assume that there are no externalities associated with electricity consumption or production. 1.1. What is the marginal cost function? Draw the marginal cost function and the inverse demand curve on the same...

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...
The figure below shows supply and demand for first-aid training, based on private costs and benefits.
Problem 18-5 The figure below shows supply and demand for first-aid training, based on private costs and benefits. a. Suppose that the external benefit from first-aid training is worth $6. Graph the social benefit curve for first-aid training that accounts for the external benefit. Instructions: Use the tool provided (MBsociall and plot only the two endpoints across the entire range of output (0 - 30). b. Ignoring the social benefits of training, _______ hours of first-aid training will occur. c. The socially optimal quantity of...
