Question: Given: MC (marginal cost) =10; MB (marginal benefit) = 100 - 2q; We have a NEGATIVE EXTERNALITY, and have a marginal external cost function MEC
Given:
MC (marginal cost) =10; MB (marginal benefit) = 100 - 2q;
We have a NEGATIVE EXTERNALITY, and have a marginal external cost function MEC = q.
Solve the followings:
a. Quantity maximizes NET benefits (hint: total social welfare).
b. Quantity under competitive equilibrium (hint: the externality is NOT accounted yet).
c. DWL (dead weight loss) under the EXTERNALITY under the competitive equilibrium (hint: the externality is NOT accounted).
