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 $60 per ton. The following graph shows...

The effect of negative externalities on the optimal
quantity of consumption
Consider the market for bolts. Suppose that a hardware factory
dumps toxic waste into a nearby river, creating a negative
externality for those living downstream from the factory. Producing
an additional ton of bolts imposes a constant external cost of $40
per ton. The following graph shows the demand...
An accountant for a car rental company was recently asked to report the firm's costs of producing various levels of output. The accountant knows that the most recent estimate available of the firm's cost function is, C(Q)=100+10Q+Q^2 where costs are measured in thousands of dollars and output is measured in thousands of hours rented. a. What is the average fixed...
9. Suppose that a wood pulp mill is situated on the bank of a river. The private marginal cost (MC) of producing wood pulp is given by the function MC 10+0.5Y where Y is tons of wood pulp produced. In addition to this private marginal cost, an external cost is incurred. Each ton of wood pulp produces pollutant flows into...

Question 10 (1 point) Suppose that Spain and France both produce ships and grapes, which are sold for the same price in both countries. The table below shows the combinations of the two goods that each country can produce in one year using the same amounts of capital and labor. What is the opportunity cost of producing one ship (in...
