Use the all-or-nothing demand curve to explain why the IOC is
unlikely to accept a bid by Los Angeles to host only the track and
field events in its bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics.
Explain why reducing pollution levels to zero is unlikely to be
economically efficient. Use a graph showing a marginal benefit
curve and a marginal cost curve to support your explanation. On the
graph you must show the shift in curve, equilibrium, and deadweight
loss.
a)Explain why the intersection of the market demand curve and
market supply curve yields an inefficient amount of output produced
and consumed when a positive demand side externality exists.
b) use a graph to show the deadweight loss that would occur in
a) in the absence of government intervention.
c) describe a government intervention that would generate an
efficient amount of output produce and consumed from societies
perspective. Use a graph to show the effect of the government
intervention.
Explain carefully why the demand curve for a public good is
correctly found by taking the vertical summation of the individual
consumers’ demand curves, and why the efficient quantity frequently
won’t be produced when left up to the free market (with no
government intervention). Use one or more appropriate diagrams to
illustrate your answer.
a) Explain why the demand curve facing a perfectly competitive
firm is assumed to be perfectly elastic (i.e., horizontal at the
going market price).
b) The manufacturer of high-quality flatbed scanners is trying
to decide what price to set for its product. The costs of
production and the demand for the product are assumed to be as
follows: TC = 500,000 + 0.85Q + 0.015Q 2 Q = 14,166 - 16.6P
Determine the short-run profit-maximizing price.
c) Explain why the...
