answer only part D please
Extracted text: Private enterprises often oppose environmental regulation because it raises cost of operation, reducing profits. Suppose that Belville, KS has ten dairy farms whose manure runoff pollutes the River. The table below gives information about the operation of each farm, identified X A 270 24 2 580 44 6.

Suppose that farms cannot adapt their individual production practices: they either remain in business if they are profitable, or they have to shut down if they are not. a) Suppose that farms can pollute as much as they want. Which farms are profitable? Assuming that unprofitable firms shut down, calculate Belville's resulting total milk output, total company profits, and total runoff.

Suppose that farms cannot adapt their individual production practices: they either remain in business if they are profitable, or they have to shut down if they are not. a) Suppose that farms can pollute as much as they want. Which farms are profitable? Assuming that unprofitable firms shut down, calculate Woodstock's resulting total milk output, total company profits, and total runoff. b) Suppose the marginal externai Cost of each gallon of runoff (Pz) is $8. What is the net social benefit? On balance, does society benefit from che profitable farms remaining in business? c) Suppose the Connecticut EPA conducts field measurements of manure runoff and fines each farm at the level of the external cost it produces. Which farms remain in business? What are total milk output, total company profits, and total runoff? What about the net social benefit? d) Suppose that instead of a fine, the EPA imposes a uniform performance standard which is expressed as a maximum runoff intensity (z / x). To enforce the standard, farms which pollute above the intensity limit are forced to shut down. At what range of values (max / min) would the standard have to be set to result in a similar net social benefit as the fine? How is the outcome different from the policy in c)?
