The village also has a fish cannery that dumps industrial waste into the lake. This pollutes the lake and makes it a less desirable vacation destination. That is, the fish cannery's waste decreases the hiking lodge's economic profit. Suppose that the fish cannery could use a different production method that involves recycling water. This would reduce the pollution in the lake to levels safe for recreation, and the hiking lodge would no longer be affected. If the fish cannery uses the recycling method, then the fish cannery's economic profit is $2,200 per week, and the hiking lodge's economic profit is $3,200 per week. If the fish cannery does not use the recycling method, then the fish cannery's economic profit is $3,000 per week, and the hiking lodge's economic profit is $2,000 per week.
