6.     The market for paper in a particular region in the United States is characterized by the following demand and supply curves:
Â
QD  = 160,000 - 2000P   and   QS  = 40,000 + 2000P
Â
where QD is the quantity demanded in 100-pound lots, QS is the quantity supplied in 100-pound lots, and P is the price per 100-pound lot. Currently  there is no attempt to regulate the dumping of effluent into streams and rivers by the paper mills. As a result, dumping is widespread. The marginal external cost (MEC) associated with the production of paper is given by the curve MEC = 0.0006QS.
a.   Calculate the output and price of paper if it is produced under competitive conditions and no attempt is made to monitor or regulate the dump- ing of effluent.
b.    Determine the socially efficient price and output of paper.
c.    Explain why the answers you calculated in parts (a) and (b) differ.
