Suppose That an Industry Emits a Chemical That Pollutes the Ground

question 63

Multiple Choice

Suppose that an industry emits a chemical that pollutes the ground water. Without considering the effects of the pollution, the industry has a marginal private cost curve of $M P C = Q + 30$ . The market demand curve is $P = 60 - Q$ , while the marginal social cost curve is $\mathrm { MSC } = 2 \mathrm { Q } + 30$ . How can the optimal level of emissions fee best be depicted on a graph in this problem?

• A) The optimal fee shifts down the marginal private cost of production until it intersects demand at the socially optimal output level.
• B) The optimal fee shifts the demand curve out until it intersects the marginal private cost of production at the socially optimal level of production.
• C) The optimal fee establishes a maximum level of output at the socially optimal level of production.
• D) The optimal fee shifts the marginal private cost of production up until it intersects the demand curve at the socially optimal level of production.
