The mаrket fоr а gооd hаs inverse demand P_D(Q) = 15 - Q and private supply P_S(Q) = 3 + Q. Production creates a constant external cost of $1 per unit. All consumers, producers, affected third parties, and the government have standing. (a) Write the social marginal cost function. Report its vertical intercept and slope, and state how it differs from private marginal cost. (5 points) (b) Find the unregulated market price and quantity. At that outcome, calculate consumer surplus, producer surplus, government surplus, total external damage, and total social surplus. Present a complete surplus ledger. (10 points) (c) Find the socially efficient quantity. At that quantity, report consumers' marginal willingness to pay, producers' private marginal cost, and social marginal cost. Calculate the deadweight loss at the unregulated outcome. (7 points) (d) The government imposes a Pigouvian tax of $1 per unit on producers. Find the quantity, the price paid by consumers, and the price retained by producers. Then calculate consumer surplus, producer surplus, tax revenue, external damage, and total social surplus. (10 points) (e) Relative to the unregulated market, explain why the tax revenue is a transfer rather than a new social benefit. Verify the net change in total social surplus. (3 points)
