![The graph illustrates the unregulated market for pesticide.
When the factories produce pesticide, they also create waste which they dump into
a lake on the outskirts of a small town.
The marginal external cost of the dumped waste is equal to the marginal private cost of
producing pesticide (that is, the marginal social cost of producing the pesticide is double the
marginal private cost).
If the pesticide factories own the lake, how much pesticide is produced?
If the pesticide factories own the lake, the quantity of pesticide produced is
tons a week.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F2064dc27-fa30-4235-bd88-cea99cff30c8%2F1e4f23ff-c069-4f8c-b941-838128e42b97%2F4y66f8o_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
