Gasoline is sold through local gas stations under perfectly competitive conditions and is a constant cost industry. All gas station owners face the same long-run average cost function: AAAA = 0.01qq − 1 + 100 qq and the same long-run marginal cost function: MMMM = 0.02qq − 1 where q is the number of gallons sold per day. a) Assuming the market is in long-run equilibrium, how much gasoline will each gas station owner sell per day? What are the long-run average cost and marginal cost at this output level? b) The market demand for gasoline is: QQDD = 2,500,000 − 500,000PP where QD is the number of gallons demanded per day and P is the price per gallon. Given your answer to part a, what is the price of gas in long-run equilibrium? How much gas will be demanded? How many gas stations will there be? c) Suppose that market demand decreases to QQDD = 2,000,000 − 1,000,000PP due to advances in electric cars. In long-run equilibrium, what is the price of gas? How much gas will be demanded? How many gas stations will there be?

Assume the government imposes a price ceiling on the cigarette market. Construct a cigarette demand and supply market. EXPLAIN (5) how non-binding and/ binding price ceilings cause a decrease in market efficiency.
Tinsel Tin Company, an Australian company, mines tin using cheap, resource-wasteful techniques in a tropical country. The effects of the mining include pollution of freshwater streams from almost their sources to the sea. The local people used to fish, hunt near, get drinking water from and swim in these streams, but now none of these things are possible. Local people now buy canned meat for protein. It is relatively cheap and tends to be very poor quality with a very high fat content. As a result, the local people are much fatter than they used to be and their health is poorer. Tinsel has supplied a fully equipped medical clinic but expects the local people to supply the staff. Discuss each of the following questions. (a) Has Tinsel contravened, in your view, its ethical responsibilities? (b) Is it possible to trade off an ethical ‘bad’ with an ethical ‘good’? (c) Has Tinsel done enough to compensate for the change they have brought about in the local people’s lives?
