The industry marginal cost, excluding the cost of emissions (private marginal cost), is 4 + 4•q, expressed in $ per tire. The inverse demand curve for tires is p = 480 - 3-q, also expressed in $ per tire. In order to achieve the socially efficient level of tire production, which takes into account the optimal level of air pollution, the government levies a tax on the industry. What is the efficient pollution tax? $84 per tire $101 per tire $152 per tire Price
Industrial pollution is often cited as an example of a negative externality, but what about smoking? Most of you grew up in an era when smoking was much less socially acceptable than when your parents and grandparents were young.

(a) would you be willing to pay smokers to not smoke while they are in the same restaurant or (b) would you choose to sit in a restaurant’s smoking section to avoid a longer wait for a table in a nonsmoking section. Discuss the cost of the externality to you and others.
