An electricity generation company currently emits 99 tons of sulfur dioxide. Sulfur dioxide emissions contribute to respiratory illness and create acid rain when combined with other chemicals in the atmosphere. The table below shows the marginal cost of abatement, which increases as different abatement techniques are used.

The government allows sulphur dioxide emissions of 4 parts per billion and has a tradable permits program. The 2 firms in the market pollute at a rate of 5 parts per billion and 6 parts per billion respectively. The 2 firms have the following costs to reduce emissions. The least expensive way to reach the government’s mandate is: Reduction of Sulphur Dioxide Cost - Firm 1 Cost - Firm 2 By 1 part per billion $200,000/year $80,000/year By 2 parts per billion $420,000/year $200,000/year By 3 parts per billion $700,000/year $340,000/year By 4 parts per billion $1,200,000/year $650,000/year Group of answer choices $400,000. $200,000. $340,000.
when left the treat environment as if it has no value the polluters in region release collective 500 tons of pollutant per year. The damages from this pollutant are MD=10e while aggregate abatement cost is MAC=10+5a. Calculate; A)efficient aggregate levels of abatement and emissions B)use calculations to show that a one ton increase or decrease in emissions would not be efficient

COURSE: MICROECONOMICS - TAX REGULATIONS The local diesel market is represented by Q = (912 - P)/12.5 and Q = (P - 315)/11where P is in dollars (USD) per liter of fuel and Q shows liters of fuel (in millions). Currently a tax of USD 130 per liter of diesel is charged.It is requested:(a) Calculate the amount (Q) that is transacted after the tax has been applied. Already solve few hours agob) Show in detail the calculations of a). Is there any difference between the price observed by suppliers and demanders? If so, what is the price observed by the producer and what is the price observed by the consumer? how much is the government's revenue? If there is an efficiency loss, how much is it? Already solve few hours agoc) At present, there are arguments in favor of increasing the tax on diesel and others in favor of decreasing it (at least temporarily). Mention at least ONE argument in favor of increasing this tax and ANOTHER argument in favor of decreasing it. And finally, conclude in…

Elya's construction company is charged 150 pesos per ton for hauling its raw materials by ABC trucking company. Forty tons per day are hauled for 300 days a year. They desired to install a railway system to reduce the cost of trucking of the raw materials to 6.6 pesos per ton. Maintenance costs of this are 12000 per month. Tax is 1%. The average rate of earning is 20% if the company has the cash necessary for the installation, would you recommend the change? if the company has to float 5,000,000 pesos worth of non-callable bonds at 15% that will mature in 10 years to have the capital for the project, would you recommend that change?
In 1976, the parents of a seven-year-old boy sued a New York hospital for$3.5 million. The boy was blinded shortly after he was born two weekspremature. His parents claimed that hospital doctors administeredexcessive oxygen to the baby and that this caused the blindness. Thecase went to trial, and just as the jury announced it had reached averdict, the lawyers for the two sides arrived at an out-of-courtsettlement of $500,000.a. If you were the parents, how would you decide whether to accept thesettlement or wait for the jury’s decision? What probabilityassessments would you need to make? Would you have accepted thesettlement?b. Answer the questions in part (a), taking the hospital’s point of view.

During your first month as an employee atGreenfield Industries (a large drill-bit manufacturer),you are asked to evaluate alternatives forproducing a newly designed drill bit on a turningmachine. Your boss’ memorandum to you haspractically no information about what the alternativesare and what criteria should be used. The same taskwas posed to a previous employee who could notfinish the analysis, but she has given you the followinginformation: An old turning machine valued at $350,000exists (in the warehouse) that can be modified for thenew drill bit. The in-house technicians have givenan estimate of $40,000 to modify this machine, andthey assure you that they will have the machine readybefore the projected start date (although they havenever done any modifications of this type). It is hopedthat the old turning machine will be able to meetproduction requirements at full capacity. An outsidecompany, McDonald Inc., made the machine sevenyears ago and can easily do the same…
