Pollution taxesunanswered Pollution permitsunanswered Nonrival consumptionunansweredThere are three firms, A;B; and C that produce electricity. The first two firms have the same per-megawatt cost of production equal to $2, while firm C has a per-megawatt cost of $1. The firms differ, however, in their pollution. Firms A, B, and C produce respectively 1, 2, and 3 cubic feet of carbon monoxide per megawatt produced. A cubic foot of carbon monoxide pollutes the environment, and has a social cost of $2.5. The demand for electricity is represented by the inverse demand function P (Mw) =100 - Mw, where Mw represents the megawatts consumed by the public. Suppose firms are not held accountable for the pollution they produce. What is the competitive equilibrium price and quantity in the market for electricity? (remember that in a competitive market the price will be driven down to marginal cost (since firms in a competitive market earn zero economic profit). How much pollution is there at the competitive equilibrium and what is the social cost of this pollution?

Suppose firms are not held accountable for the pollution they produce. Q1: What is the social cost at the pollution at the competitive equilibrium? and what is the socially optimal quantity of pollution?There are three firms, A;B; and C that produce electricity. The first two firms have the same per-megawatt cost of production equal to $2, while firm C has a per-megawatt cost of $1. The firms differ, however, in their pollution.

The demand for electricity is represented by the inverse demand function P (Mw) =100 - Mw, where Mw represents the megawatts consumed by the public. Suppose firms are not held accountable for the pollution they produce. Suppose that government allows firms to trade their permits to emit carbon monoxide. Q1: What is the competitive price of a permit to emit 1 cubic foot of carbon monoxide? And how much electricity is produced after the permits are traded?ACME Industries produces steel near a river that nearby residents liked to swim. A by-product of steel produced by ACME Industries is toxic sludge that pollutes the river. Demand for steel by consumers in tonnes is given by QD = 90 - 5p. The Private Margiinal Cost per tonne of steel produced ACME Industries is given by the supply curve QS = 25p. Each tonne of steel produced creates external marginal damage on Wimmera of $1.20 due to decreased water quality. The government is considering imposing a tax on the market to correct the externality. 1. Before the imposition of a corrective tax, the equilibrium price is: 2. Before the imposition of a corrective tax, the equilibrium quality is: 3. To correct the externality, the government should tax per tonne of steel produced equal to:

What is the deadweight loss that occurs if the collective tax is not imposed? 6. What fraction of the economic incidence of the tax falls on steel consumers?Public Goods. Suppose a neighborhood in Segovia’s central business area is deciding how many fountains they want to see in the main avenue. There is a first group of 20 neighbors and each has a demand Q = 20 − P for fountains. There is a second group of 5 people, and each has a demand Q = 20 − 2P for fountains. The cost of building each fountain is 225. How many fountains are socially optimal? Fountains are public goods. Hint: To obtain the SMB, please first transform the demand functions into “public goods’ valuations” (“isolate P”) and then multiply them by the amount of neighbors per group. Then you can proceed with the vertical summation.For a product with external benefits like vaccines (positive externality),which of the following is true?Select one: Oa. The market equilibrium results in too much of the good compared to what is optimalOb. The market equilibrium results in too little of the good compared to what is optimal.Oc. The market will not provide the good; it must be publicly funded.O d. Large economies of scale work as a barrier to firm entry.
