1. Socially Optimal Thneed Production (Graphical Analysis) based on Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax. There is only one question, but it has several parts, (a) through (J), below, plus (k) and (l) for extra credit. The demand curve and supply curve for Thneeds (“A fine something that all people need,” according to the Once-ler Group’s web site) are given by QD= 100 –5P and QS = 2.5P – 5 [HINT: these are regular—that is economically sensible—demand and supply curves that say...

3) Assume that the market for energy efficient window installations in San Diego is perfectly competitive. Quarterly inverse supply and inverse demand are: P 1200 3Q (Private MB) P 440Qs (Private MC) neighbors (lowering the overall price of electricity, reducing pollution, and so on) These external benefits to consumers are estimated to be EMB 2Q (the more windows installed, the more external benefit to installing more windows). a) Find the equilibrium price and quantity that will be produced in a...

3. The effect of negative externalities on the optimal quantity of consumption Consider the market for steel. Suppose that a steel manufacturing plant dumps toxic waste into a nearby river, creating a negative externality for those living downstream from the plant. Producing an additional ton of steel imposes a constant external cost of $385 per ton. The following graph shows the demand (private value) curve and the supply (private cost) curve for steel, Use the purple points (diamond symbol) to...
