- Explain the relationship between a market equilibrium and a social optimum.consider a market with typically shaped supply and demand curves. Suppose that at the market equilibrium, demand is relatively more price inelastic as compared to supply. Which of the following is true: 1. net social surplus all goes to suppliers 2. consumers' surplus is larger than producers' surplus 3. producers' surplus is larger than consumers' surplus 4. consumers' and producers' surplus are equalWhich 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.
- The fundamental problem of welfare economics is to determine at which feasible allocation the economy should operate. Discuss the challenges of aggregating individual preferences into social preferences in order to identify the socially optimal allocation.Social efficiency requires that, if Q 1 units are bought and sold in a market, then the ____ of Q 1 equals the social marginal cost of Q 1. A. Pareto-efficiency B. social welfare C. social marginal benefit D. social net-gainSuppose the demand and supply curves for good X are both linear. The demand price for the first unit of X is $28, and the supply price for the first unit of X is $6. If the equilibrium price for good X is $16 and the equilibrium quantity of X is 24,000 units, then total consumer surplus is $________, total producer surplus is $_________, and total social surplus is $_____________.
- What is the term used to describe the situation where resources are allocated in a way that maximizes total surplus? A. Pareto efficiency B. Market equilibrium C. Social welfare D. Deadweight lossis the provided Edgeworth box a good example of second-welfare economics theorem.Let there be 3 people in the economy. Let the utility function of person 1 be u=min(x,y), utility of person 2 be = max(x,y) and the utility function of the 3rd consumer be U=x+y. Let the endowment points be A(5,5), B(5,5) c(5,5). An example of a pareto efficient allocation is: A) A(5,5), B(5,5) c(5,5) B) A(5,5), B(5,0) c(10,5) C) A(5,5), B(0,5), c(5,10) D) None of the above The correct answer is D. Explain clearly. Also, please state the pareto effient outcome not mentioned in the options (if it exists).
- The social optimum occurs where price is __________ and quantity is __________.Both a home buyer (A) and seller (B) of a house agree on a price of 2.5 million dollars. A values the house at 3 million dollars and B values the house at 2 million dollars. Before the date of delivery of the keys, C offers to buy this house from B for 3 million dollars because C values the house at 4 million. (a) Assuming transaction costs are zero (0), fully explain what actions A, B, and C will take and how social surplus will be distributed among them if A has the remedy of expectation damages against B. (b) Assuming transaction costs are zero (0), fully explain what actions A, B, and C will take and how social surplus will be distributed among them if A has the remedy of specific performance against B. (c) Assuming transaction costs are zero (0), fully explain what actions A, B, and C will take and how social surplus will be distributed among them if A has no remedy against B. (d) How high can transaction costs be before it matters which remedy A has?Which of the following best describes the idea of market efficiency? Group of answer choices A market is efficient when government determines the price of the good. A market is efficient when there is only one seller of the good. A market is efficient when total net gains (consumer surplus + producer surplus) are maximized. A market is efficient when consumers pay low prices.
