3. The effect of negative externalities on the optimal quantityof consumption Consider the market for bolts. Suppose that a hardware factory dumps toxic waste into a nearby river, creating a negative externality for those living downstream from the factory. Producing an additional ton of bolts imposes a constant external cost of $330 per ton. The following graph shows the demand...

Consider the market for steel. Suppose that a steel
manufacturing plant dumps toxic waste into a nearby river, creating
a negative externality for those living downstream from the plant.
Producing an additional ton of steel imposes a constant external
cost of $330 per ton. The following graph shows the demand (private
value) curve and the supply (private cost) curve for...
