Q 1: What is market and government reaction to the Enron Scandal?
Q 2: “Things are changing fast. What do we need to do differently now to stay competitive?”
1. On Enron scandal, wall street collapsed. Almost 4500 employees lost their job. Investor lost some 60 billion dollar within a few days. Pension fund for the company's employee was wiped out. American economic system lost the trust of its citizen. Banks were suspected of collusion. It impacted stockholders, employees, investors, United states and its communities

Class: ACCT-301 - Week 2 Discussion Board. - WEEK 2: ETHICS Please summarize the Enron scandal for the rest of us. Describe how you think the elements of fraud were present in this scandal. What do you think could have or should have been done to prevent this from occurring?
А - ВО, 2. A competitive where Q is the market output. Each firm in the industry has the same cost function, c(q) q?. A industry has a linear market demand: p _ (i) Suppose there are n firms in this industry in the short-run. What is the short-run equilibrium price? Calculate the total consumer surplus at this short-run equilibrium. (ii) Suppose now the government imposes a per-unit tax t > 0, to be paid by the firms. What is...

= 18 - 1. Suppose we realize that the market described in question 1 (Market demand is still Q P) has a negative externality. The cost function Cp(Q) = { Q2 is private cost. We now know the cost of the externality is Ce(Q) = Q2. a. What is the marginal cost of the externality, MCE? b. What is the marginal cost to society of production MCs? c. What is the Socially Optimal quantity and price? d. How does the...
Question 3. Externality and Market Power, 30 points) Consider an electricity market. Assume that the demand for electricity is P = 40 - Q amd the cost of producing electivity is C(q) = 20+ 0.50Q2. We assume that the production of electiricity may lead to emission to the society. We assume that each unit of production creates an externality. which amounts to 10 (per unit of production). 1. Derive a socially efficient amount of production. 2. Derive an equilibrium quantity...
Problem 4: Competitive markets, equilibriua, and surplus. The market demand is Q-15-P, and the market supply is Q-P/2. (a) Assume that the markct is perfectly compctitive. What are the cquilibrium price and (b) Assume that the market is perfectly competitive. What is the equilibrium consumer, (c) In order to support producers by i quantity? producer, and total surplus? tion quota of Q-4 units. What will the market clearing price be? At that price, g prices, the government imposes a produc-...
6. (16 points) Suppose we realize that the market described in question 1 (Market demand is still Q = 18 – P) has a negative externality. The cost function C(Q) = Q2 is private cost. We now know the cost of the externality is Ca(Q)=Q?. a. What is the marginal cost of the externality, MCE? b. What is the marginal cost to society of production MCS? c. What is the Socially Optimal quantity and price? d. How does the socially...
