Draw a standard supply and demand diagram for televisions, and indicate the equilibrium price and output. a. Assuming that the production of televisions generates external costs, illustrate the effect of the producers being forced to pay a tax equal to the external costs generated, and indicate the equilibrium output. b. If instead of generating external costs, television production generates external benefits, illustrate the effect of the producers being given a subsidy equal to the external benefits generated, and indicate the equilibrium output.
Show the market for cigarettes in equilibrium, assuming that there are no laws banning smoking in public. Label the equilibrium private market price and quantity as Pm and Qm. Add whatever is needed to the model to show the impact of the negative externality from second-hand smoking. (Hint: In this case it is the consumers, not the sellers, who are creating the negative externality.) Label the social optimal output and price as Fe and Qe. On the graph, shade in the deadweight loss at the market output.
A graph shows the hypothetical social demand (social), private demand, social supply, and private supply for energy. What is the total benefit at the privately efficient equilibrium?

Bill’s demand for hamburgers (a private good) is Q = 21 − 6P and Ted’s demand is Q = 6 − 3P. Write down an equation for the social marginal benefit of the consumption of ham- burger consumption. Now suppose that hamburgers are a public good. Write down an equation for the social marginal benefit of hamburger consumption.
The figure below shows a market in which there is an externality. The curve S2 is parallel to S1. Areas in the figures are numbered. What type of externality is shown in the figure and why is it a problem in economics? Identify the market equilibrium and the social equilibrium in the figure. If the market were to move from the market equilibrium to the social equilibrium, indicate the area(s) that represent the change in consumer surplus, the change in producer surplus, the change for third parties, and the net effect on total surplus. Does total surplus rise or fall? What would be the amount of a per-unit tax needed to fix the externality?
