Cооler Green Inc. is develоping technology to mаke AC systems thаt use less electricity. If successful, the technology will significаntly reduce the amount of energy that is wasted due to product inefficiencies. If the firm sells only in response to the market price, the quantity shown in the third column of the table below is supplied. If the firm were also to receive the broader social benefits of the new technology, the willingness to supply is shown in the fourth column. Supply and demand schedule for Cooler Green Inc.

If the firm were to receive a price based on both private and social benefits, the [option3] "S" curve would shift to the [option4] "right", yielding a new equilibrium price of [option5] and new equilibrium quantity of [option6]. Compared to the first equilibrium, the new price [option7] and the new quantity [option8], given the shift of the [option9] curve caused by the [option10] "new technology".
