    If the government has decided that tossed orange peels impose a negative on the public that must be rectified by imposing a $4 per bag, then the new equilibrium price is, p * = $9 (when the quantity of bag is 1) In that time the new equilibrium quantity is, q * = 5 bag (s). If the new equilibrium quantity (5) is the optimal quantity, before some bags were oranges being overproduced that is, q * = 1 bag (s)
