Draw a standard supply and demand diagram for televisions, and indicate the equilibrium price and output. a. Assuming that the production of televisions generates external costs, illustrate the effect of the producers being forced to pay a tax equal to the external costs generated, and indicate the equilibrium output. b. If instead of generating external costs, television production generates external benefits, illustrate the effect of the producers being given a subsidy equal to the external benefits generated, and indicate the equilibrium output.
Show the market for cigarettes in equilibrium, assuming that there are no laws banning smoking in public. Label the equilibrium private market price and quantity as Pm and Qm. Add whatever is needed to the model to show the impact of the negative externality from second-hand smoking. (Hint: In this case it is the consumers, not the sellers, who are creating the negative externality.) Label the social optimal output and price as Fe and Qe. On the graph, shade in the deadweight loss at the market output.

ils Consider the market for electric cars. Suppose that a electric car manufacturing facility dumps Slouge in externality for those living downstream from the facility. Producing additional electric cars imposes a constant per-unit external cost of $420. The following graph shows the demand (private value) curve and the supply (private cost) curve for electric cars. Use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the social cost curve when the external cost is $420 per unit. 1400 1250 PRICE (Dollars per unit of electric cars) 1120 960 840 700 160 420 200 140 0 D 1 O O 3 QUANTITY (Units of electric cars) 0 Supply (Private Cost) Demand (Private Value) Social Cost The market equilibrium quantity is units of electric cars, but the socially optimal quantity of electric car production is units To create an incentive for the firm to produce the socially optimal quantity of electric cars, the government could impose a per unit of electric cars.
