a) Calculate the consumer surplus for the market. (If necessary round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Consumer Surplus = $0
b) Calculate the producer surplus for the market. (If necessary round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Producer Surplus = $0
A steel mill, S, produces 20 tons of water pollution for every 100 tons of steel it produces. The downstream village of Watertown (WT) spends $150 per ton of water pollution from S to eliminate itsenvironmental harm. S is a price taker in an international market where the demand for steel is p = 100 – 3X and the market supply of steel is p = 40 + 3X. X is in units of one (1) million tons per day and p is the price in dollars per ton of steel. S has a daily increasing marginal cost of production function, MC = x.S's Total Cost function = x*x/2 where x is S’s daily output.(a) If S has no legal liability for its pollution, what is S’s daily production of steel?How does your answer here relate to the concept of private efficiency?(b) WT wants to bargain with S to reach an optimal agreement on this pollution. Assuming S is still not legally liable for its pollution and both S and WT do not use lawyers, would there be an agreement? How does your answer here relate the concept of private…
