4. Suppose the supply curve of portable radio rentals in Golden Gate Park is given by P= 5+ 0.1Q and the demand curve is by P=20-0.2Q. a. If each portable radio imposes $3 per day in noise costs on others, by how much will the market equilibrium quantity exceed the socially optimal number of rentals? b. How would the imposition of a $3 per unit tax affect the efficiency in this market?
