We are considering a market with marginal cost of P=100+2Q and a demand of P=500-2Q. Use that information to answer the following questions.
a. Find the market equilibrium (price and quantity in the market).
b. Find producer and consumer surplus.
c. Now imagine production of this good created a negative externality of 1$ per unit of output. Find the socially optimal outcome (price and quantity) taking this externality into account.
d. Find consumer and producer surplus at the socially efficient outcome.
e. Find the deadweight loss associated with operating at the market outcome instead of the social optimal. Remember, each unit of output creates an external cost.
f. Graph demand, private benefit and social benefit on the same axes. Highlight the area of DWL at the market outcome.
g. Now imagine production of this good created a negative externality of 6$ per unit of output. Find the socially optimal outcome taking this externality into account.
h. How does the size of the externality affect the difference between the market and socially optimal outcome?

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...
