Include correctly labeled diagrams, if useful or required, in explaining your answers. A correctly labeled diagram must have all axes and curves clearly labeled and must show directional changes. If the question prompts you to “Calculate,” you must show how you arrived at your final answer. Soybeans are produced and sold in a perfectly competitive market. The fertilizers used in soybean production generate a negative externality by seeping liquid contaminants into local rivers. (e) If this market were a monopoly with identical cost conditions, would the monopoly’s profit-maximizing quantity be greater than, less than, or equal to QC?

If the question prompts you to “Calculate,” you must show how you arrived at your final answer. Soybeans are produced and sold in a perfectly competitive market. The fertilizers used in soybean production generate a negative externality by seeping liquid contaminants into local rivers. (d) Assume instead of a lump-sum tax, the government decides to impose a per-unit tax equal to the marginal external cost. (i) On your graph in part (a), indicate the new market equilibrium quantity, labeled QN. (ii) What will happen to the deadweight loss? Explain.

The market for pens in Howards is perfectly competitive with no externalities. Market demand is given by Q=165-P. Market Supply is given by Q=P-16.What is total Surplus in this market?
Suppose that a chemical manufacturing plant is releasing nitrogen oxides into the air, and these emissions are associated with health and ecological damages. Economists have estimated the following marginal costs and benefits for the chemical market, where Q is monthly output in thousands of pounds and P is price per pound. MSB = 50 – 0.4Q MSC = 2 + 0.4Q MEB = 0 MEC = 0.2Q. Find the efficient equilibrium, QE and PE.

Rising prices for a natural resource stimulatea. the development of complements for the resource.b. the development of substitutes for the resource.c. the development of externalities from the resource.d. All of the above are correct.
This scenario pertains to microeconomics course-externalities focusing on Noise Pollution, which has negative effects on human health. As some scientific studies have shown, community members who are residing around airports have been exposed to frequent noise pollution. As a result, some people's stress levels increased leading to an increased risk of high blood pressure and heart disease. Now, assume that this has had happened in San Diego County, CA. The community members or residents sued SD Airport for producing negative externalities- noise pollution. The final decision or the court verdict was in the favor of the community members. But the judge has failed to come up with an economic model to calculate the total costs of negative externality- noise pollution. To construct the model, the Judge has employed economists to come up with the model to measure the total amount of compensation per household identifying who should get how much, and what factors determine the dollar amount…
(FORESTRY) True or False? (Feel free to give an additional explanation with sentences or graphs) a. When we exploit forest we consider only the maximum volume of timber and maximum average annual revenues over time. b. Economically-optimum rotation period for harvesting timber would be longer (in unit of time) with the increase of discount rate. c. Wood certification is a form of intervention to resolve market failure. Thank you bartleby!
