Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

The statement is false. Pollution is an external cost, and marginal social cost equals marginal private cost plus marginal external cost. In an unregulated competitive market, the market price equals marginal private cost. As a result, the marginal social cost of aluminum is its market price, which equals its marginal cost, plus the marginal external cost of pollution. So the marginal social cost of aluminum is higher than the market price.
