Even if we know that global warming due to rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a real threat, a carbon tax does not help reduce the problem because it is impossible to know what the exact rate of tax should be. Is it true or false?
Explain in your own words, how you believe a reduction in the General Consumption Tax (GCT) rate can positively and/or negatively impact the Jamaican economy.
Assume the government introduces a lump-sum tax on each firm within a perfectly competitive industry. Which of the following will be true after the introduction of this tax? a. Consumer prices will increase b. There will be no change in any firm’s level of profits c. A deadweight efficiency loss will occur d. There will be no change in the market quantity of output

C)the producer must absorb the entire tax. D)the producer can generally only pass part of the tax onto the consumer.
Paper factories emit chemicals as a waste product. This generates a cost to society that is not paid for by the firm; therefore, pollution is a negative externality of paper production. Suppose the U.S. government wants to correct this market failure by getting firms to internalize the cost of pollution. To do this, the government can charge firms for pollution rights (the right to emit a given quantity of chemicals). The following graph shows the daily demand for pollution rights. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly. Suppose the government has determined that the socially optimal quantity of chemical pollution is 120 million tons per day. One way governments can charge firms for pollution rights is by imposing a per-unit tax on emissions. A tax (or price…
Hi, please help me with the following questions Suppose the government buys up all of the farmers' output at the floor price and then sells the output to consumers at whatever price it can get. Under this scheme, what is the price at which the government will be able to sell off all of the output it had purchased from farmers? What is the revenue received from the government's sale? In this problem we have considered two government schemes: A price floor is established and the government purchases any excess output and The government buys all the farmers' output at the floor price and resells at whatever price it can get. Which scheme will taxpayers prefer?
Nowadays it is very important to reduce one's carbon "footprint" (how much carbon we produce in our daily lifestyles). Minimizing the use of fossil fuels and instead resorting to renewable sources of energy (e.g., solar energy) are vital to a "sustainable" lifestyle and a lower carbon footprint. Let's consider solar panels that prewarm the water fed to a conventional home water heater. The solar panels have an installed cost of $2,200, and they reduce the homeowner's energy bill by $315 per year. The residual value of the solar panels is $418 at the end of their 12-year life. What is the annual IRR of this investment? Use the trial-and-error method starting with an initial guess of 12% The annual IRR of this investment is. ( round two decimal places)

Let’s consider solar panels that prewarm the water fed to a conventional home water heater. The solar panels have an installed cost of $3,000, and they reduce the homeowner’s energy bill by $30 per month. The residual value of the solar panels is negligible at the end of their 10-year life. What is the annual effective IRR of this investment?
