Consider a competitive market in which the MPB = 178–4q and the MSC =3q. In this market, however, there is a positive consumption externality of $80 per unit consumed. What is the efficient level of output in this market?[Round your answer to two decimal places when needed]

Consider an economy with three consumers, each with a marginal benefit for a public good of MB = 10–q. If the marginal cost of providing the good is $17 per unit, what is the efficient level of output? [Round your answer to 2 decimal places when needed]

Consider a competitive market in which the MPB = 138–4q and the MSC= 3q. In this market, however, there is a positive consumption externality of $74 per unit consumed. What is the DWL that results in the market equilibrium?[Round your answer to two decimal places when needed]
