29. In the absence of government intervention (such as a tax or subsidy), what is the social loss (welfare loss) associated with the market equilibrium? (use letters, e.g., abc or abcd) (note, there may be more than one letter combination that would be correct). 30. What amount of subsidy is required to produce an allocatively efficient outcome? (use letters, e.g., abc or abcd) (note, there may be more than one letter combination that would be correct)

3. Use the graph to answer the question that follows.Assume that the market shown is perfectly competitive with no externalities. If the production output is 15,000 units, then A-the market is allocatively efficient B-there is a shortage of the good C-deadweight loss is being minimized D-deadweight loss is being maximized E- consumer and producer surplus are maximized 5.Use the graph to answer the question that follows.

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 ___________ externality. 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.
Consider a public good that has 2 consumers, Dylan and Fred. Dylan’s demand for the public good is higher than Fred’s demand for the good. Show graphically and explain why the private market will provide an inefficient level of that public good. Please Help!!!!!!!!
Economics: Public Economics Question: 1 Figure 3. On the graph, Q represents the quantity of foam and P represents the price of foam. Refer to Figure 3. If the government imposed a corrective tax that successfully moved the market from the market equilibrium to the social optimum, then tax revenue for the government would amount to (do not use $ sign) Guess: 10,000 (with margin: 0) Question: 2 Which of the following statements is correct? a. Corrective taxes are often preferred over direct regulation because they typically reduce externalities at a faster rate. b. Corrective taxes are often preferred over direct regulation because they typically reduce externalities at a higher cost. c. Corrective taxes are often preferred over direct regulation because they typically reduce externalities at a lower cost. d. Corrective taxes distort economic incentives. Question 3: According to the Coase theorem, externalities can be internalized when transactions costs are zero through:…
Suppose the government imposes a tax of 20% on automobile production for cars that use fossil fuels, and scientists estimate that the environmental cost of these automobiles is about 10%, please show in a demand and supply framework how this tax is going to increase or reduce social welfare?
3. The market equilibrium is said to achieve allocative efficiency. What does this statement mean? Explain using a graph. Indicate the following on the graph: Consumer and producer surplus, market price, and quantity bought and sold. When a tax is introduced, explain how the market changes. In another graph indicate the Consumer and producer surpluses, tax revenue, and deadweight loss from taxation
A graph shows the hypothetical social demand (social), private demand, social supply, and private supply for energy. What is the total benefit at the privately efficient equilibrium? What is the total cost at the privately efficient equilibrium? What is the total benefit at the socially efficient equilibrium? How do you figure these out? What is the total surplus at the socially efficient equilibrium? The deadweight loss at privately efficient equilibrium compared to the socially efficient equilibrium? Thx
The figure shows the pizza market. A) If the price of a slice of 4-point pizza is $3, what is the consumer surplus of the 50th slice? B) If the price of a slice of pizza is $3, what is the producer surplus for the 50th slice of pizza? C) What is the efficient quantity? What is the equilibrium quantity? What is the loss when the equilibrium quantity is produced?
c) Devise a quantity tax on product q for firm A in (a) such that the government can restore the social optimum in (b). d) Discuss other methods the government can use to restore the social optimum. Discuss advantages and disadvantages of the methods you propose. Explain.
The chart above shows the market for polio vaccine in Pakistan. This vaccine provides external benefits because vaccinating one person reduces the likelihood of other people catching the disease. a.) If there is a competitive market and there is no government intervention, what will be the amount of vaccine? b. ) If a foundation takes over the cost of the vaccine, what will be the amount of vaccine used in the market? How will the market efficiency change? Why?
What is the term used to describe the situation where resources are allocated in a way that maximizes total surplus? A. Pareto efficiency B. Market equilibrium C. Social welfare D. Deadweight loss
In the past, some counties and countries have imposed taxes on sugar, saturated fats, and food made with those ingredients as a way to reduce consumption of those foods. Assume the government imposes a unit tax on all chocolate. Answer the following questions Is there an externality from consuming chocolate? Explain why or why not. Use a correctly labeled graph to show what happens in the market for chocolate as a result of the unit tax. On your graph, show the market equilibrium before and after the tax (i.e. show the equilibrium prices and quantities.) Show graphically what happens to consumer surplus and producer surplus after the tax (you may need a separate graph to show this.) Will consumers be able to shift this tax to sellers? If yes explain why/how. If no explain why not. Based on your answer to c, who will bear the incidence of this tax? Show this on a graph. How will consumers respond to the tax on chocolate? How will candy companies respond strategically to the tax on…
