Determine the retail disposal charge that will produce an efficient allocation of antifreeze.
Suppose you are a public official responsible for setting a retail disposal charge on antifreeze. Estimated marginal benefit and cost functions for antifreeze are as follows: MPB = 10.0 – 0.5Q MPC = MSC = 1.0 + 0.4Q MSB = 10.0 –1.1Q, whereMPB, MSB, and MPC are measured in dollars per gallon, and Q is in millions of gallons.
