Three families live at the end of a road outside town. They must
pay to install street-
lights. Streetlights are a public good for these households|that is
if one household buys a a
streetlight, all households will get access to the streetlight.
Assume family 1 has an inverse
demand for streetlights of p = 100 -Q, family 2 has an inverse
demand for streetlights of
p = 200 -Q, and family 3 has an inverse demand for streetlights of
p = 300 - Q. Assume
the supply of streetlights is horizontal at the marginal cost of
$200.
4.1 Assuming the families act independently, find the quantity
of
streetlights each family will demand. What will be the total
amount of streetlights provided?
4.2 Now find the socially optimal quantity of streetlights for
these
three families.
4.3 Please draw this market, including all three demand
curves,
the supply curve, and the social demand curve. Indicate the
social optimum.
4.4 What is one way that the households could achieve the
socially
optimal quantity of streetlights?
4.5 Explain how this problem illustrates the problem of
public
goods and free riding.

Three families live surrounding a small pond. The pond is much nicer when someone mows the grass so that you can walk around it. Mowing the grass costs $80. Each family has a different demand for the number of times per year the grass is mowed: Family A:P=100-Q Family B:P=100-5Q Family C:P=50-Q On a large graph, plot the three families demand curves. How many times would each family like the grass mowed if each one was the only household paying? How many times...
i need question b please 1. The town of Springfield has two steel producers that pollute the air with Sulfur Dioxide (SO). Their supply curves are shown below, with quantities and kilotons and price per kilo. Producer + Producer B 2 . . . 10 12 # 16 Drano * 12 HM De a. Suppose the price of steel is $8/kho (demand is perfectly elastic). Draw the market supply curve and the equilibrium quantity of steel produced by the two...
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...
Question 2 (15 points) Continuing your analysis of the competitive US manufacturing industry from Question 1, with demand of Q = 200-P and supply of Q. = P-20, suppose a technological innovation causes the supply curve to shift down by $20 for every given quantity Q. • Depict the original supply, the new supply, and the original demand curves on the usual P, Q diagram. Label all intercepts. Clearly indicate and label the new market equilibrium. 2/8/2 compass 20 Mlinois.edu/bbcswebdavipid-4037356-dt-con020%20ECON528%20M6...
Part I Suppose that in the market for paper, demand is P=100 - Q. The marginal private cost of producing paper is 10+ Q. However, pollution generated by the production process creates a per unit external harm (i.e., negative externality) equal to 0.5Q (i.e., the level of the externality increases with the quantity produced). 16+1,5 Q (Social cret) 10+Q (private 0 36 45 Top a) What is the (unregulated) market equilibrium and quantity if the externality is not corrected for...
1. Socially Optimal Thneed Production (Graphical Analysis) based on Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax. There is only one question, but it has several parts, (a) through (J), below, plus (k) and (l) for extra credit. The demand curve and supply curve for Thneeds (“A fine something that all people need,” according to the Once-ler Group’s web site) are given by QD= 100 –5P and QS = 2.5P – 5 [HINT: these are regular—that is economically sensible—demand and supply curves that say...

1. When it comes to financial matters, the views of Aristotle can be stated as: a. usury is nature’s way of helping each other. b. the fact that money is barren makes it the ideal medium of exchange. c. charging interest is immoral because money is not productive. d. when you lend money, it grows more money. e. interest is too high if it can’t be paid back. 2. Since 2008, when the monetary base was about $800 billion,...
