Consider a competitive market for the paper-making industry. The demand curve for paper is represented by the equation P = 120 – 2Q, while supply is represented by the equation P = 60 + Q, where Q is the quantity of paper (measured in tons) and P is the price of paper per ton for each paper mill (measured in dollars). Suppose the industry pollutes the environment by discharging waste chemicals that present a health risk to the public. a) What is the equilibrium price and quantity in the competitive market? b) Suppose the government determines that the social cost of unregulated paper-making activity is $30 per ton of paper. The government decides to internalise this activity through imposing the appropriate per unit tax on paper mills. What would be the socially optimal quantity of paper, and what would be the price for each paper mill?

Predicting Changes in Equilibrium Price and Quantity Suppose that the market demand for farmed salmon is Qd = 12 – p and the market supply of farmed salmon is Qs = 9.6 + 0.5p – 0.2pt, where Q is the quantity of salmon in millions of tons per year, p is the price of salmon in dollars per pound, and pt is the price of tilapia in dollars per pound. The supply function demonstrates that the facilities that are used to farm salmon are also suitable for farming tilapia. a) Use a market diagram to demonstrate that the equilibrium price and quantity of salmon is implicitly a function of the price of tilapia. That is, show how a change in the price of tilapia will impact the market for farmed salmon. (No need to use numbers here, just sketch and explain.) b) Using the supply and demand functions, derive the relationship between the price of tilapia and the equilibrium price and quantity of salmon. You should ultimately calculate and . Check your work by calculating the impact of an increase in…

Read the following scenario. Corn is a very valuable product for which the U.S. government routinely offers subsidies. With no price support, the equilibrium price for corn is $300 per ton and the equilibrium quantity is 500 million tons per year. Suppose that the government agrees to pay farmers $350 for every ton of corn they produce and can't sell in the market. According to the farmer's market supply curve, 600 million tons per year is supplied at the price of $350 a ton, so production should increase to this amount. However, domestic users of corn cut back their purchases. Only 450 million tons a year is demanded at the price of $350 a ton, and purchases decrease to this amount. Farmers continue to produce 500 million tons of corn per year, so because they produce a greater quantity of corn than domestic buyers are willing to purchase, something must be done with the surplus. To make the price support work, the government decides to buy the surplus. Step 2 Use the scenario to…
