Consider the following market for CFC-11, a known ozone-depleting substance:
Demand: Q = 20 - 1.5P Supply: Q = 5 + 0.5P
where P is price per pound.

tax on CFC-11, which shifts the supply function to Q' = 2.5 + 0.5P. Use this information for any or all of the next three questions below.
-What is the equilibrium price and quantity of CFC-11 before the excise tax?
A) P = $8.75; Q = 5
B) P = $7.5; Q = 8.75
C) P = $6.875; Q = 8.75
