To determine
Whether the given statement is true or false.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Technically, the statement the “firm’s entire marginal cost curve is its short-run supply curve”, which is not true. The marginal cost curve and its short-run supply curve are different. The short-run supply curve is the firm’s entire marginal cost curve only when the
Economics Concept Introduction
Marginal cost (MC): Marginal cost refers to the amount of additional costs incurred in the process of increasing one more unit of output. Marginal cost curve shows the additional cost for the different levels of output.
Short-run supply curve: In the short run, it is a curve that shows the relationship between the price level in the economy and the supply in the economy by the firms.

3. Consider the market for paper. The process of producing paper creates pollution. Assume that
the marginal damage function for pollution is given by:
MDF = 3E
where damages are measured in dollars and E is the level of emissions. Assume further that the
function describing the marginal abatement cost of emissions is given by
MAC 120-E
where benefits are measured in dollars and E is the level of emissions.
a. Graph the marginal damage function (MDF) and the marginal abatement cost function
(MAC).
b. What is the unregulated level of emissions Eu? What is the social welfare of this emissions
level?
c. Assume an existing emission quota limits emissions to E = 60. Show on the graph why this
policy is inefficient. What is the deadweight loss caused by this policy?
