A producer releases chemical waste into a stream. The negative effects of this release are not captured by the market leading to a market failure. Suppose Q is the amount of chemical waste in thou- sands of barrels, and P is the price per barrel($). The marginal social benefit (MSB), marginal private cost (MPC), and marginal external cost (MEC), respectively are MSB = 60 − 0.1Q MPC = 5 + 0.2Q MEC = 0.2Q Calculate the allocative efficient quantity, price, and marginal profit. Note: MSB equals MPB since externality is on production side. Please show answer with explanation, Thank you.
