The marginal (external) damage cost from air pollutant emission is MD = 20 + Q where Q is the quantity units of pollutants emitted. The marginal control cost associated with pollution cleanup is MC = 200-5Q. The maximum pollution is units, the optimal level of emission is units, and the optimal level of reduction is units. Hint: Type integers.
