National Public Radio (NPR) is a public good. The cost (supply) of each "unit" of NPR is P=2. Derek's valuation for each unit of NPR (demand) is given by PD=10–Q, and Kim's valuation is given by PK=4–0.25Q.The total social valuation (demand) of NPR is PS=Answer-AnswerQ.The socially optimal amount of NPR is Answer units. Without intervention, the private market would lead to an Answer of NPR.
Military Defense is a public good. The cost (supply) of each "unit" of military defense is P=3. Kim's valuation for each unit of defense (demand) is given by PK=10–Q, and Derek's valuation is given by PD=5–0.5Q. The resulting social demand function is PS=15-1.5Q.What is the socially optimal allocation of military defense?
Suppose 15 people each have the demand Q=220 - 40P for streetlights, and 10 people have the demand Q = 180 - 20P for streetlights. The cost of building each streetlight is $8. If it is impossible to purchase a fractional number of streetlights, how many streetlights are socially optimal?

The opportunity cost of the skiing vacation is the:cost of accommodation and food in Aspen.value of piano lessons.cost of buying a piano.amount paid to the skiing instructor. 2.

Suppose a positive externality is associated with college enrollment. Assume that college instruction is sold in a competitive market and that the marginal social cost of providing it increases with enrollment. Show how a corrective subsidy to college students will increase the market price of instruction. Show the net gain in well-being possible from the subsidy and the amount of tax revenue required to finance its costs on your graph. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

In competitive markets, we know that: P= MWTP P= MC MC= AC P= Min AC Which result(s) implies that the outcome is socially optimal?
Consider a product market with three consumers X, Y and Z with demand function QX = 6 – PX, QY = 3 – ½PY and QZ = 12 – PZ respectively, where P is the price in dollars and QX, QY and QZ are the quantities demanded by Consumer X, Y and Z respectively. If the product is public good, obtain the marginal social benefit function and draw the diagram. Determine the optimal quantity of the product in the market if the marginal cost of the product is constant at (a) $4, (b) $9 and (c) $16.
Which of the following is true of market social equilibrium if third parties, people outside the market for a good, bear part of the cost of the good's production? Socially optimal quantity will be greater than the private quantity, and the socially optimal price will be greater than the private price. Socially optimal quantity will be less than the private quantity, and the socially optimal price will be greater than the private price. Socially optimal quantity will equal the private quantity, and the socially optimal price will equal the private price. Socially optimal quantity will be less than the private quantity, and the socially optimal price will be less than the private price. Socially optimal quantity will be greater than the private quantity, and the socially optimal price will be less than the private price.
This question asks you to find the socially optimal outcome. Suppose a social planner takes the demand function and cost functions as given, and can choose (i) the market price, (ii) the number of firms, and (iii) the quantity produced by each firm [the planner is free to choose any quantity, even if the firms would lose money]. The social planner’sgoal is to maximize the sum of consumer surplus and firms’ profits. To do this, the planner will take into account the two economic principles of efficiency, (i) Allocative efficiency which implies price=mc. (2) Efficiency in production, which means that the cost of production of the total market quantity should be minimized. Suppose the demand function is Q(p) = 40 – 5p. For each of the following cost functions, what market price, number of firms and quantity for each firm will the social planner choose?a) C(q) = 20 + 4qb) C(q) = 3 + q^2/3 + 3q.
Public Goods. Suppose a neighborhood in Segovia’s central business area is deciding how many fountains they want to see in the main avenue. There is a first group of 20 neighbors and each has a demand Q = 20 − P for fountains. There is a second group of 5 people, and each has a demand Q = 20 − 2P for fountains. The cost of building each fountain is 225. How many fountains are socially optimal? Fountains are public goods. Hint: To obtain the SMB, please first transform the demand functions into “public goods’ valuations” (“isolate P”) and then multiply them by the amount of neighbors per group. Then you can proceed with the vertical summation.
