Answer to Question 1

This is poor reasoning since all resources have an opportunity cost. Even though the money is the owner's it could still have been used for another purpose that might make him even more money. The land and equipment also could have been rented to someone else. The fact that no money changes hands doesn't make the cost of running the business go away.

Answer to Question 2

Marginal external cost equals marginal social cost minus marginal private cost. So the marginal external cost of the chemical is 100 - 85 = 15 per ton.
