Given the following functions for shoe factory in Ohio: fi: Qa=2(90 - P) : P = 4Qs Where Q is quantity and P is price. f2 given is the Marginal Cost for the shoe factory but this producer often dumps left over materials such as glues and dyes directly into the sewer effecting ground water in the nearby town. An expert in the field discovered that the marginal damage is a constant $9. 1. What is the social marginal cost (show all working)? 2. What is the new equilibrium when pollution damage is taken into consideration for this market? 3. What is the total surplus when accounting for the damages? (Evaluate at the SMC level) - Draw the diagram and label.

What is the marginal cost forumla for TC= 10+5Q?
Marginal cost is given by the function :- 2Q2 - 130 And the equilibrium quantity is 10 so calculate the marginal cost.
Suppose a tax is set at t’ in the figure. How many units of emissions are ABATED and is abatement achieved cost effectively? Suppose a regulation has just been implemented requiring that coal-fired power plants pay a tax of $80 on each unit of emissions (1 unit is 1 metric ton). Before the tax was imposed, a plant called Old River Power had an emissions level of 100 units. Given a marginal abatement cost function of 200 – 2E, under the tax policy what will Old River Power pay the regulator in emissions taxes?
Farmers Al and Bob each operate a farm in the same Each farm uses water and fertilizer to produce both crops and polluted runoff (from nutrients in the fertilizer). Below are the marginal cost equations for abating (i.e., reducing) polluted runoff on each farm (you may find it helpful to think of these as marginal cost functions for “producing” abatement): Al’s marginal cost of abating runoff ($/unit) = 3 × Units of runoff abated by Al Bob’s marginal cost of abating runoff ($/unit) = 5 × Units of runoff abated by Bob Currently, Al and Bob each produce 20 units of polluted runoff (a total of 40 units) and neither abates any runoff. Suppose the local environmental protection agency wants to reduce the total amount of polluted runoff generated by Al and Bob to 20 units. In other words: Units of runoff abated by Al + Units of runoff abated by Bob = 20. Unfortunately, Al and Bob have a lot of political clout and won’t submit to any regulations or penalties that force them to reduce…

Northside Social (NS) sells cups of coffee and amazing breakfast sandwiches. The current price of a cup of coffee is $3.00 and the current price of an amazing breakfast sandwich is $8.00. At those prices, NS sells 1000 cups of coffee and 200 breakfast sandwiches daily. NS faces a constant marginal cost for each cup of coffee of 50 cents and the constant marginal cost of breakfast sandwiches is $2. NS increases the price of coffee 5%, to $3.15. After the price increase, NS sells 900 cups of coffee, a decrease of 10% in cups of coffee. Assuming the above, what if NS also changes the price of breakfast sandwiches from $8 to $10 (a 25% increase in price) and that the number of breakfast sandwiches sold decreases from 200 to 180 (a 10% decrease in quantity). Which of the following is true? A) Coffee profits and breakfast sandwich profits increase.B) Coffee profits decrease by more than breakfast sandwich profits decrease.C) Coffee profits decrease by more than breakfast sandwich profits…
The demand equation for the deluxe marble kit produced by Whoville Marble Works (WMW) is p = 600 - 3q -0.01q² where p is the price WMW sets for the kit and q is the number of kits that they sell in a week. (a) Find the price that WMW should set to maximize their weekly revenue, the corresponding revenue maximizing output and their maximum weekly revenue. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. (b) Show how you know that the revenue you found in (a) is WMW's absolute maximum weekly revenue.
. An electricity producer has a constant marginal cost of production equal to $40 per megawatt. The residual demand for its electricity is given by P (q) = a−bq, where P is the price and q is the quantity of power generated by this producer. The producer knows the slope, b, but he vertical intercept of the residual demand curve, a is unknown. Assume A and B are greater than zero. If you get stuck, you may answer any of the following questions for special case where a = 80 And b = 0.5 for partial credit. (a) What is the marginal revenue, M R(q), for this producer? b) What is the optimal q for this producer? (c) What is the electricity producer’s optimal price? (d) What is the electricity producer’s optimal bid in a uniform price Auction? e) Suppose b is equal to zero. Would the producer have an incentive to submit a bid above its marginal cost? Explain.

*** Please answer e, f, g,h** An ice cream company finds that at a price of $4.00 for each pint, they can sell 4000 pints of ice cream per day. For every $0.25 decrease in price, daily demand increases by 200 units.
