2. In the country of Malan, companies caught dumping industrial waste illegally on public property will soon face fines. Fines at fixed amount per violation have been proposed. Critics object that such mixed fines would encourage companies to be violators to make sure each violation pays, which they would do by dumping so much waste that the savings, relative to the costs of legal disposal, exceed the fine.
The critics’ objection assumes which of the following?
A Companies convicted of illegal dumping on public property will not be required to clean up the site and to dispose of the recovered waste properly.
B Companies that currently dump some part of their industrial waste illegally on public property usually dump all of it in that manner.
C The cost of disposing the industrial waste legally is less per unit of volume If the qualities disposed of are large rather than small.
D Much illegal dumping is a perpetuation of customary practices rather than a defiant response to legal restrictions.
E Fines based on volume of illegally dumped industrial waste would be no more difficult to assess than fixed fines.
