a. Suppose that this industry results in extreme externalities. What can be
said about its optimal output?
b. Draw the supply and demand curves for paper. Does the supply curve
reflect the true social costs of producing the product? If not will a supply
curve reflecting the true social costs lies above or below the supply curve
you have drawn?
c. What is the equilibrium price of paper? From the point of view of
reflecting the true social costs, is this price the correct one, or too low or
too high?
