Suppose the demand for a product is P = 100 â ½ Q
Suppose the demand for a product is P = 100 â ½ Q and the supply of virgin inputs is 20 units. The marginal cost curve for recycled inputs is r = Q/4. Compute the socially efficient output level, the use of recycled inputs, and the efficient recycling ratio. Recompute all these under the following changes (take them one at a time) and compare them to the original case.Demand falls to 80 â ½ QThe MC curve for recycling inputs becomes r = Q/6 3. The supply curve for virgin inputs increases to 30
