Question 11

+1 markNumerical answer

In a market for dry cleaning, the inverse market demand function is given by P = 150 - Q and the (private) marginal cost of production for the aggregation of all dry cleaning firms is given by MC =30 + Q. Finally, the pollution generated by the dry cleaning process creates external damages given by the marginal external cost curve MEC = 2Q.
Based on the above data, answer the given subquestions.
