The manager of a paper mill is making for her most important test yet. On Tuesday morning, she must testify before a senate committee to "justify" the company's high value. One Senator is particularly angry with the firm because its price is twice the firm's marginal cost. On Tuesday afternoon, the manager is scheduled to appear before the House Subcommittee on the Environment to explain why the firm should not be slapped with a per-unit tax on the firm's output to compensate for the pollution it discharges into a major river. What do you think will be the manager's game plan?
