If the question prompts you to “Calculate,” you must show how you arrived at your final answer. Soybeans are produced and sold in a perfectly competitive market. The fertilizers used in soybean production generate a negative externality by seeping liquid contaminants into local rivers.

1. Suppose Brazos County is considering preserving certain miles of Navasota River, but they have no clue how many miles of the river they should preserve. The county officials are seeking advice from a bright environmental economist. They contacted you for help. Suppose marginal benefit for preserving the river is given by P = 10 - ½ q and marginal costs are 2 + ½ q. You are asked to answer the following questions for the country office. Show the work. a) What is the net benefit of preserving six miles of the river? b) What is the benefit/cost ratio of preserving six miles of the river? c) How many miles of Navasota River should the Brazos County preserve? Why?
c) External costs in T-shirt production According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), it takes 2700 litres of water to produce one T-shirt. Water is used not only to grow cotton but also to dye clothing. Cotton growers use pesticides and chemicals that pollute the water. The pesticides and chemicals that remain in the environment harm animals and plant life. The WWF has been working with governments to help reduce this pollution. It advises them to introduce more regulation and to fine companies that pollute. Clothing manufacturers argue that this will add to their costs and mean they will supply less. This may mean they employ fewer people and will help reduce water pollution as less clothing is being manufactured. Fines will punish those that pollute while also earning the government revenue it can use to clean up the pollution. The fines must also be large enough to persuade firms to stop polluting. With reference to the information given in *External costs in T-shirt production' and…

One way governments can charge firms for pollution rights is by imposing a per-unit tax on emissions. A tax (or price in this case) of $ of sulfur dioxide emitted will achieve the desired level of pollution. per ton Now suppose the U.S. government does not know the demand curve for pollution and, therefore, cannot determine the optimal tax to achieve the desired level of pollution. Instead, it auctions off pollution permits. Each permit entitles its owner to emit one ton of sulfur dioxide per day. To achieve the socially optimal quantity of pollution, the government auctions off 125 million pollution permits. Given…
3. A local drama company proposes a new neighbourhood theatre in Vancouver. Before approving the building permit, the city planner completes a study of the theatre's impact on the surrounding community. a. One finding of the study is that theatres attract traffic, which adversely affects the community. The city planner estimates that the cost to the community from the extra traffic is $5 per ticket. What kind of an externality is this? Why? (2 marks) b. Graph the market for theatre tickets, labelling the demand curve, the social- value curve, the supply curve, the social-cost curve, the market equilibrium level of output, and the efficient level of output. Also show the per-unit amount of the externality. (4 marks) c. On further review, the city planner uncovers a second externality. Rehearsals for the plays tend to run until late at night, with actors, stagehands, and other theatre members coming and going at various hours. The planner has found that the increased foot traffic…
