Currently the Australian Government is aiming to reduce Australia's carbon emissions to 5% below 2000 emissions levels by 2020. Reforms Emissions change (compared to 2000 levels) by 2020. A 10% increase Total cost for industries to introduce 0 reform measures (billions of dollars) B No change 0.3 C 5% reduction 1.2 D 10% reduction 1.5 a. If the Government introduced a permit system, resulting in total industry permit costs being $700 million, and capital investment total costs of $500 million, what would be the expected 2020 pollutions levels compared to 2000 levels? Type LT for Less Than, E for Equal to, or GT = Greater Than.

- Plants A and B emit 12 tons and 6 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), respectively. MAC(marginal abatement costs) for a = 12 - Ea, MACb=12-2Eb MD(marginal damage) = 1/3*E (E indicates CO2 emission) Suppose that the emission trading system is introduced and the right to emit 7 tons is given to power plant A and the right to emit 5 tons is given to power plant B. At this time, explain how the price of CO2 credits is determined and how much each power plant buys or sells.Out of 10000 people in a community, each is willing to pay Ksh 10 for each well dug. The cost of digging the wall is is given by C= Q2+20Q. Calculate the pareto efficiecy number of wells to be dug. If the government want to dug the well at a minimal cost, how many walls will it dig and how much will it spen if the projet is given to a private, profit making organization, how many well would the firm dig?An Accra Chemical Factory discharges waste products into a river. These wastes kill many tilapia that are swimming upstream to spawn. While there will no doubt be other ecological damages from the chemical effluent, we wish to focus on those of the fishery. Let E be the tonnes of chemical effluent discharged per month. The equation for Marginal Damages (MD) is MD = 6E. The firm’s Marginal Abatement Cost (MAC) is given by MAC = 800 – 10E. a. Sketch the MD and MAC functions graphically on the same axes. b. Suppose E0 is the point where MAC = 0. Find the total damages (TD) to fishery by the factory per month.
- John is planning to travel to a country where there is some risk of contracting yellow fever. The direct market price for the medication that prevents yellow fever is $125. It would take him 2 hours to visit his doctor and get the prescription filled. The opportunity cost of his time is $25/hour. If he contracts yellow fever we assume that he will be sick and not able to work full days for two weeks. Under these conditions, let's assume he can work half days and has no vacation or sick time to use. His company will not pay him when he is sick and not working. His out of pocket expenses for medication, doctors’ visits, and lab tests to treat the yellow fever will be $500. His normal salary is $1,000 per week. John believes that his chance of getting yellow fever without preventative medicine is about 20%. His chance of getting yellow fever with the medication is 0%. There is no pain and suffering to be considered in this problem. What is the maximum price that John would pay…. Appalachian Coal Mining believes that it can increase labor productivity and, therefore, net revenue by reducing air pollution in its mines. It estimates that the marginal cost function for reducing pollution by installing additional capital equipment is MC=40P Where P represents a reduction of one unit of pollution in the mines. It also feels that for every unit of pollution reduction the marginal increase in revenue (MR) is MR=1000-10P How much pollution reduction should Appalachian Coal Mining undertake?Imagine a firm’s marginal abatement cost function with existing technologies is: MAC = 12 – E. If the firm adopts new pollution abatement technologies, its marginal abatement cost function will be: MAC = 6 – 0.5E. The adoption costs for the new technology are $6. If the government raises the tax on emissions from $2 to $4, the firm's total costs increase by $_____. HINT: Total costs include tax payments, total abatement costs, and (if relevant) adoption costs for the new technology. Select one: a. $12. b. $8. c. $10. d. $16.

Further assume there are 10 barrels of oilin the ground. Let the total benefits in each period be given as: B(qt) = 10qt−0.5qt2and the total cost of extracting the oil in each period be 2qt. If the discount rate is10%. Suppose that we use up all the oil in the ground over the two periods.(a) Find the net benefits in each period.(b) If a social planner wants choose a level of output q for periods t = 0and t = 1 so as to maximize the discounted sum of net social benefit over bothtime periods, what is the optimal allocation of output over the two periods?(c) Obtain the prices for the two periods, i.e., p0 and p1.(d) Find the royalty in each period.

Two airlines run flights between two cities, Air A and Air B. The government has said that the airlines can produce 100 units of carbon emissions between them, under a carbon permit scheme, and should decide how to split the 100 units between them. Air A and Air B have the same operating costs and the same costs of reducing the amount of carbon that they produce per flight.Say Air A has been operating on the route for over 50 years and the government decides to give all the permits to Air A (based on its long use of the route). Air A offers a proportion R of the 100 units of permits to Air B and Air B can accept the offer or reject it and not fly on the route.• How will the other parameters of the model as discussed in this module affect the value of R* at which Air B accepts the offer?• Say that the government gives the permits to Air A for 5 years, and will gives them to Air B for…

It was decided not to incorporate a particular regulation through legislation, insteadrely upon the 'market forces' to encourage companies to do the 'right thing'. This viewpoint was expressedthat if companies did not look after the environment or did not act in a socially responsible manner, peoplewould not want to consume the organisations' products. From the equity market perspective, potentialinvestors would not want to invest in the organisations, and further workers wouldn't want to work for them,and so forth. Because companies were aware of such market forces, they would do the 'right thing' even inthe absence of legislation.Requirement:1) Using theories such as Public Interest Theory, Capture Theory and Economic Interest Group Theoryto critically…
