1. (30 points)

(a)Complete the blank table below. Clearly show the calculation for each missing data point in each column.

(b)From the table in (a), determine the net benefits maximizing level of the control variable Q.

Use the relationship between marginal benefit and marginal cost at the various level of the control variable to explain why the level of the control variable in (b) is regarded as the economically optimal level.

(C)Provide a graphical illustration and a brief explanation in support of your response in (c) above.
