7 . Suppose that maintaining the hiking areas costs $1.5 million annually, but financed instead by a tax of $4.41 per unit of pulp and paper production. If inverse demand for pulp and paper is given by P=15.88-(1.47/1,000,000)Q and marginal private cost is given by MPC=10, and if production of pulp and paper generates a negative externality given by MEC=4.41, then net benefits to society of preserving the hiking area will be __________________ million annually. （process of solving）
Suppose a power generating plant emits particulates that damage crops and affect human health. The relationship between emissions and environmental damage is represented by the marginal damage function, MD=9e where e represents tons of emissions per month. The cost to the firm (and society) of eliminating emissions is represented the marginal abatement cost function, MAC=108.5 - 6.5e Both MD and MAC are dollar costs per month. If the power generating firm were allowed to ignore the social cost of its emissions, what would be the firm’s monthly emission level? Calculate the socially efficient level of pollution. If the emissions calculated in part B is a level found to shorten some people’s lives, could it still be considered socially efficient? Suppose the EPA set an emission standard at the socially efficient level calculated in part B. Calculate the cost to the firm of achieving this standard. Suppose that instead of a standard, the EPA charged an emissions tax. The tax is set at…

(Type out correct answer ASAP with proper step by step explanation.will give positive rating only for correct answer.thank you) Consider a competitive market for single-use plastic bags. Market demand is given by P=15 - Q/500, where P is the market price and Q is the quanity demanded. The marginal cost of producing plastic bags is constant, resulting in a market supply curve given by P = 3. However, every single-use plastic bag generates an external cost equal to Q/500 (note: it is increasing in the quantity produced). Hence the marginal social cost is MSC = 3 + Q/500. Now carefully respond to the following questions. A. What is the price and quantity of plastic bags prodyced in the competitve market equilibrium? B. What is the efficient (or socially optimal) quantity of plastic bags? At what price should they be sold?

In the market for a certain pesticide, the following equations represent the private demand and supply: Private Demand: QD = 160 - P Private Supply: QS = 4P The use of this pesticide has a negative externality that affects nearby ecosystems, which is not reflected in the market price. The external cost is estimated to be $5 per unit of pesticide. By how much is the pesticide overconsumed under perfect competition? A) 1 units B) 3 units C) 4 units D) 5 units E) none of the above
Suppose demand is QD=12−P and supply is QS=P. There is a constant positive externality of $3 per unit (marginal external benefit, MEB = $3). Find the market equilibrium quantity and the socially optimal quantity. the market equalibrium quantity is? the socially optimal quantity is?
Suppose that Penn Products and Teller Industries are both emitting 30 metric tons of perfluorocarbons (PFCs) into the atmosphere. Regulators wish to reduce emissions to 40 metric tons overall, and plan to achieve this with a system of tradable permits. Penn’s marginal abatement costs are given by MACP = 5eP, where eP is the number of metric tons of emissions that Penn is cutting. Thus, the cost of cleaning up the first metric ton is $5, the second ton costs $10 to clean up, and so on. Teller’s marginal abatement costs are given by MACT = 7.5eT, where eT is the number of metric tons of emissions that Teller cuts. a. The lowest-cost way to reduce emissions is found when both firms’ marginal abatement costs are equalized. Equate Penn’s and Teller’s marginal abatement costs, and solve for eP in terms of eT. For each metric ton that Teller cuts, how many tons should Penn cut? b. Because 20 metric tons are to be cut, we know that eP + eT = 20. Use your…
