You’ve invented a 3D fax machine. This cool technology is almost like a Star Trek teleporter. You can scan an object at one machine, which creates an exact copy at another 3D fax machine. It is so valuable that as more people use it, it becomes more valuable, and the price any given user is willing to pay increases in turn. Consider a scenario in which there are 12 possible users, who each value the fax machine at i*n, where i is the index of that user (from 1 to 12), and n is the number of other purchasing users. So, if no one buys the 3D fax machine, everyone values it at 0. However, as soon as one person buys the device, then the 12 possible users begin to value the product at 1, 2, … 12, respectively. If 2 people purchase, the 12 possible users’ valuations increase to 2, 4, … 24, and so on.

- I need help with question 3. You guys have already answered number 1 and I have provided the answer below1 Externalities and Tax Incidence 1. Sketch a supply and demand framework for paved driveways. Who do you suppose is less elastic, consumers or sellers? Be sure your model reflects this (there are no wrong choices of who is less elastic; just take your pick if you don't have a good idea). 2. Assuming that impervious surfaces are damaging to waterways, include a new supply curve into model that reflects all costs of production. 3. Suppose a tax is imposed on the buyers of driveways. Suppose the tax is exactly the right amount to make the quantity achieved equal to the new equilibrium. Sketch the change(s) to the market with your tax imposed. Identify the losses to consumers and suppliers, dead weight loss and government revenue. Discuss dead weight loss in this context. 4. What will likely to happen to employment in the production of driveways? Why? 5. What other policy alternatives,…arrow_forwardMyrtle has $400 per month to spend on Transit (X) and all other goods (Y). She currently buys a bus pass for $100 and rides 80 times per month.If she didn't buy the pass, bus rides would cost $2/ride and she would take 20 trips. She is indifferent between the $100 bus pass and $2 per ride. Myrtle is offered to join a Transit program that would allow her to pay a registration fee and then could ride the bus for $1 per trip. The most Myrtle would pay for the membership is $30 and then she would ride 40 times a month. If she were given the membership for free, she would ride the bus 45 times per month. Myrtle also reveals that she would be indifferent between a free membership (and $1 per ride) versus simply having the traditional bus pass reduced to $50 per month (flat rate), where she would again choose to ride the bus 80 times a month. Using all the information provided, draw all the relevant budget constraints and indifference curves.
