In the graph below, the solid blue line represents the marginal cost of reducing particle emissions (measured in pounds) for a firm. The dashed line represents a newly imposed pollution charge of $210 for every pound of pollution emitted. Suppose the firm is currently emitting more than 50 pounds of particle emissions and must decide how to respond to the pollution charge. (Assume that particle emissions can only be reduced in multiples of ten pounds.) By how many pounds will the firm choose to reduce its total particle emissions?
