Suppose the following describe the marginal cost of extraction of a raw resource, the marginal cost of the recycled resource, and the demand for the resource (raw and recycled forms are perfect substitutes). • MC₁ = 150 + 2q1 MC₂ 200+ 192 • WTP = 400 - 1(91 +92) ● a. Draw a graph (clearly label the lines: Demand, MC1, MC₂) b. Determine the optimal amount of 9₁ and 92 (show your work). c. If consumer preferences changed such that demand became: WTP = 225 - 4(91 +92) what would be the optimal amount of 9₁ and 92? d. Also include a graph of the situation with the new demand.
