Refer to Table 8-1 in Question 9. Suppose the cost to build the park is $24 per acre and that the residents have agreed to split the cost of building the park equally, as in Question 10. If the residents decide to build a park with size equal to the number of acres that maximizes total social surplus from the park, how much total surplus (i.e., net benefit) will Xavier receive? (enter just the number, no $)

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.
