Assume that the demand curve for an environmental good is fully coincidental with the marginal social benefit function and can be described as MSB = MPB = 12-3q, where q refers to the quantity of the good. Assume that the marginal private cost function can be described by MPC = q, and that marginal social costs are always triple the marginal private cost. Determine an equation for Marginal Social Cost (MSC).
Question 1 options:
|
|
MSC= 3+q |
|
|
MSC= 3q |
|
|
MSC = 3(12-3q) |
|
|
MSC = MPC +3q |

This is a continuation of Question 1.
Assume that the demand curve for an environmental good is fully coincidental with the marginal social benefit function and can be described as MSB = MPB = 12-3q, where q refers to the quantity of the good. Assume that the marginal private cost function can be described by MPC = q, and that marginal social costs are always triple the marginal private cost.
Using the information given find out the market equilibrium level of quantity.

Suppose the state is trying to decide how many miles of a very scenic river it should preserve. There are 200 people in the community, each of whom has an identical demand function given by P=10-0.5q, where q is the number of miles preserved and P is the per mile price he or she is willing to pay for q miles of preserved river. (Hint: treat this river as a public good. )
If the marginal cost of preservation is $750 per mile, how many miles would be preserved in an efficient allocation?
