PRICE OF CARS 1. Efficiency in the presence of externalities Cars impose many external costs on society: carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to air pollution, congestion on roadways, and so on. Therefore, the market equilibrium quantity of cars is not equal to the socially efficient quantity. The following graph shows the demand for cars (their marginal private benefit), the supply of cars (the marginal private cost of producing them), and the marginal social cost of cars, including both the marginal private cost and external costs. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the market equilibrium quantity. Next, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to indicate the socially efficient quantity.

Therefore, the market equilibrium quantity of cars is not equal to the socially optimal quantity.

The equations below represent the demand and supply curves for annual gym memberships in a city. qD= 500 − 2p, qS=0.5p − 50 Because physical activity leads to better health, the city estimates that each annual gym membership saves $30 of public spending on healthcare per year (a positive externality). a. In a graph, show the market and the socially optimal equilibria for annual gym memberships in this city. Does the market equilibrium result in under- or over-consumption of memberships? What is the deadweight loss associated with the market failure in this situation? b. Would you recommend this city to implement a subsidy (a negative Pigouvian tax) to correct this market failure? If so, how much would be the subsidy per unit? What would be the effects of your proposed policy on the quantity, price, and aggregate welfare?

Cause and Individual Example of Market Failure with a Negative Externality In Section 1, externalities are introduced as well as market failures, where the socially optimal output is not the same as what the market produces by itself. For this discussion, your task is to: Describe a real-world negative externality. In your externality identify who are the participants in the market and who receives the spillover How are the incentives for the firm misaligned from the rest of society to make the externality?
If the market for a good is producing a negative externality in production (e.g. a polluting firm):(a) In market equilibrium, the marginal cost (MC) to society exceeds the marginal cost (MC) of production.b) In market equilibrium the marginal benefits to society exceed the marginal cost (MC) of production.(c) In market equilibrium the marginal costs (MC) to society exceed the total benefits to societyd) In market equilibrium the private Cmg (MC) of production exceeds the Cmg (MC) for society.For each of the alternatives, explain which is correct and explain which are false or uncertain.
