Q2. A factory produces widgets. It currently produces 10,000 widgets per day, which it can sell for a total profit of $25,000 per day. The factory's operation creates smoke that affects nearby homeowners, causing respiratory ailments and similar problems. At the current level of operation, the damage is $10,000 per day. The efficient level of operations is 8,000 widgets per day. At this level, the factory would generate profits of $20,000 per day, but the damage to nearby homeowners would be reduced to $2,500 per day. If the factory were shut down, it would generate zero profits, but the damage to nearby homeowners would also be reduced to zero.
