The industry marginal cost, excluding the cost of emissions (private marginal cost), is 4 + 4•q, expressed in $ per tire. The inverse demand curve for tires is p = 480 - 3-q, also expressed in $ per tire. In order to achieve the socially efficient level of tire production, which takes into account the optimal level of air pollution, the government levies a tax on the industry. What is the efficient pollution tax? $84 per tire $101 per tire $152 per tire Price
(1) Don Juan complains that the river has become polluted since a tobacco company X started operating four months ago and since then has been dumping its effluent in the river. The government endeavors to intervene by taxing company X but the former is not fully informed about the cost of pollution to the society and the cost of tax to the company. What should the government do to properly regulate water pollution?
