An internal marginal cost is the extra cost of producing one more unit of output.

An internal marginal cost is the extra cost to society after one more unit of output is produced. It is also known as externality.

And the social marginal cost is the sum of internal and external marginal costs.

For this question:

The external marginal cost of producing the product is $10Q, which is given by the question.

And the social marginal cost is:

MCSocial = MCexternal + MCinternal

MCSocial = 10Q + 16Q

MCSocial = 26Q
