Question: The demand (MB) for a good is given by P= 20-Q. The private marginal cost is given by PMC= 6+Q, and the marginal damage function is given by MD = 2+Q.

Note: the optimal tax is the difference in price between the private marginal cost and the social marginal cost at the socially optimal quantity, NOT at the private optimal quantity.
