22. Both Wisconsin and Illinois border Lake Michigan. The lake is becoming polluted and both states are
deciding whether or not to clean it. If Wisconsin decides to clean the fake it will cost 1200 and generate social
benefits of 1500 however, Wisconsin will receive only 1100 of those social benefits while neighbor Illinois will
receive the other 400. If Illinois cleans the lake, it will cost them 700 and generate social benefits of 900 â€"
however, Illinois will receive only 600 of those benefits, Wisconsin will receive the remaining 300. If a state
does not clean the lake, it experiences a cost of $0. If Wisconsin does not clean the lake and Michigan does then
