After developing the new Personal computer with special functions the company would need to be cautious. Although there are patents out protecting the design of this new computer it is still possible for others to see the design and create something similar based off of it. Although licensing the brand would greatly benefit the cost of production and relieve most of the cost from transportation it would be wise to not give another company the opportunity to see the design. Creating the company in the home-country and exporting would help keep the design to ourselves and is therefore safe. However, doing this will increase the cost of transportation significantly.

A competitive industry has production processes that generate pollution. ok with studies carried out on the affected population, the marginal costs associated with contamination are constant and CU500. for each unit of the good produced. these costs are associated with lost workdays, illness treatment costs, and the nuisance generated in the population. Currently the production level of the industry is 250 units and the market price is 1,500 (MU/unit). Market studies carried out by companies estimate that if the price rises At 1,800 (mu/unit) the quantity demanded would fall to 200 units and the marginal cost of the production of each company in this new production level is 1,300 (m.u./unit). Assume linearity in market demand and in the marginal costs of production of the companies Graph to justify your answers. A)Determine the optimal production level from the perspective of the whole of the society. Show your result graphically.
