Answer:

Market price , quantity = 50 , 50

Social price , quantity = 65 , 35

Deadweight Loss = 112.5

Explanation:

In perfectly competitive markets , optimal equilibrium is where :

[Marginal Revenue = Price] = [Marginal Cost]

[ MR = 100 - Q] = [MC = Q]  

100 - Q = Q

Q + Q = 100

2Q = 100 → Q = 100/2

Market Q = 50

P = 100 - Q →  P = 100 - 50

Market P = 50

Socially efficient markets are where : additional (external) cost or additional benefit is also used to determine socially optimum quantity

[ MR = 100 - Q] = [TC = MC + EC]

100 - Q = Q + 30

100 - 30 = Q + Q

2Q = 70 → Q = 70 / 2

Social Q  = 35

P = 100 - Q →  P = 100 - 35

Social P = 65

Deadweight Loss

1/2 [ (P2 - P1) (Q1 - Q2)]

1/2 [ (50 - 35) (65 - 50) ]

1/2 (15x15)]  → 1/2 (225)

Deadweight Loss = 112.5
