Lesson Three: Assignment – Short Answer/Essay ECO-FE (v.4.0) Name: Kailey Sotehou Chapter 7 discusses externalities and spillovers (p.193). These occur when a market activity impacts someone who is not a party to that transaction. Sometimes these are positive and other times they are negative. What is an example of a negative externality that you have encountered? How did it affect you? (5 pts) -
I live in a somewhat historic neighborhood of my city that is still growing, with new houses being built every day. The issue is that the background noise is loud. The sounds of trucks and hammering may be heard for most of my afternoon, which interferes with my studying and some of my leisure time. Furthermore, you might expect the contrary because it is an older neighborhood, but there are few places to visit for fun. What is an example of a positive externality that you have encountered? How did that affect you? (5 pts) -
A few years ago, there used to be only one roadway people could take to get to the closest city to my town. This was a problem since trucks and buses used the same highway, causing a lot of traffic and making a trip that should have taken an hour take 5 hours. However, the state government invested in constructing a separate route just for trucks and buses, which reduced traffic on the main highway, which is now only used by vehicles.

A table can be a great way to organize information. Use the table below to take notes on the various types of business structures. Forms of Business Organizations Business Type How it’s formed. Advantages Disadvantages Sole Proprietorship It is formed by one individual who controls everything on it. It is simple to start and manage since you are not reliant on anybody else. You make your own decisions about what you believe is most important to you. As this is a one-person firm, this person is responsible for everything, including taxes and earnings. Partnership It is formed by a deal or contract between different companies or persons who split their responsibility. It is simple to begin, and the more people participating in establishing this type of business, the easier it is to manage the fees. Because each partner is responsible for a portion of the work, if one fails to complete his or her part, it has an impact on the entire company. Corporation It can only be founded with the authorization of the government. The person must contact the national or state government to obtain an official government document. It raises financial capital very quickly, and because it is legal by law, it makes every employer accountable for his or her actions. They are required to pay two sets of taxes. Each employer must pay taxes, and the corporation must pay the government a percentage of its profit. Franchise A franchise is created by a legal agreement that involves the license of a trademark, the payment of a fee, and control over the operations of a business. Franchisees may be more talented at growing the business and turning a profit than employees would be. Franchisors earn royalties from sales. Franchisees earn money from profits. Achieving growth in both isn’t always possible and can potentially cause conflict.

Question-
In Parkland County there are three residents: ANDREW, BETH, CATHY. They exercise different amounts and have different marginal benefits for any given size of public park. The marginal benefits for each person are: MBA (A) =6-A/4; MBB (A) =14-A; MBC (A)=15-3A, where subscripts denote each person. The marginal cost of A acres of park is 18.
Suppose the county government informs the voters that for each unit of A, each person will pay a tax of $6. What would be each person's preferred size of A? What would be the size of A that would result from voting?
Suppose that the government of Parkland decides that it wants to provide the efficient size of park. Further suppose that the government decides it is now willing to charge different people a different tax to meet this goal. What would be the size of A ? How much will the government charge each person?

What kind of incentives would help with the problem?
The black rhino is one of the most endangered species on the planet. In southern Africa in 1970 there were 65,000 Black Rhinos. Now there are only 2,500. Basic economics tells us why they are in trouble and what we can try to do about it.
Why do people kill the black rhino?
Because they can make a lot of money relative to the risk of getting caught - just like drug trafficking and lying on your taxes. In Asian communities the horn is viewed as an aphrodisiac and a powerful pain reliever. In Yemen sabers are made from them. As a result one horn can fetch $30K on the black market. The average yearly income in southern Africa is $1,000 and falling. The black rhino is worth more dead than alive. This is a market that does not correct itself.
Another piece of this, that is common to many environmental challenges, is that most black rhinos are…

You may use curves, schedules or economic theories and principles to justify your answer.
1. Market is a medium that allows buyers and sellers of a specific good or service to interact in order to facilitate an exchange. The price that individuals pay during the transaction may be determined by a number of factors, but price is often determined by the forces of supply and demand. Markets do not necessarily need to be a physical meeting place. Cite at least five (5) examples of market trading that has no physical meeting and justify each example.
2. What do you mean by the concept of utility? How this related to consumer taste and preferences?
3. Discuss the four (4) types of market structures and cite at least two (2) example companies / industries in each type of market structure.

S. Externalities - Definition and examples
An externality arises when a firm or person engages in an activity that affects the wellbeing of a third party, yet neither pays nor receives any
compensation for that effect. If the Impact on the third party is adverse, it is called a
extemality.
The following graph shows the demand and supply curves for a good with this type of externality. The dashed drop lines on the graph reflect the
market equilibrium price and quantity for this good.
Adjust one or both of the curves to reflect the presence of the externality. af the social cost of producing the good is not egual to the private cost, then
you should drag the supply curve to reflecet the social costs of producing the good; simiarly, f the social value of producing the pood is not equal to
the private value, then you should drag the demand curve to reflect the social value of consuming the good.

Externalities and Public Goods – End of Chapter Problem
In 2018, a wind farm developer was ordered by the Iowa state appeals court to dismantle its newly constructed wind turbines
after adjacent residents filed a lawsuit complaining that they never consented to the loud noise and visual obstructions of the
turbines.
How could the wind farm developer have utilized insights from the Coase Theorem to avoid its legal troubles and ultimately
wasting millions of dollars on wind turbines it never got to operate? Select all situations that would apply.
The developer could have asked the government to set a quota on electricity generation for the wind farm so there would
be down time from the noise.
The developer could have petitioned the local and state government to fund the wind farm.
The developer could have invested in improved infrastructure for power generation to lower residents' electricity costs as
well as to promote the use of wind farms.
The developer could have paid people living…

(a) Does an externality exist? If so, is it positive/negative (or both)
(b) Use Coase’s framework to identify the cause of the externality
(c) If an externality exists, determine whether the Coase theorem applies (i.e. is it feasible to assign property rights and solve the problem?)
(d) If an externality exists and the Coase theorem does not apply, discuss a government/institutional solution that can mitigate the problem of externality
