- Part D E F needed b) Ana also reads that climate change is caused by carbon emissions from air travel. 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…Kara and Kyle are competing sockeye salmon fishers. Both have been allocated ITQs that limit their catch to 2,000 tons of sockeye salmon each. Kara's cost per ton is $6; Kyle's cost per ton is $10. If the market price of sockeye salmon is $14 per ton, what is the maximum amount Kara would be willing to pay per ton for Kyle's ITQs? Multiple Choice $6. $4. $8. $14.Suppose instead of an emissions standard, the government implements atradeable permit system. Each firm is now given 3,000 permit each (1permit equals 1 ton of pollution allowed).How many permits will be traded between the 2 firms?
- 1. Two chemical companies, A and B, operate in a small New England town. Every week A releases 40 gallons of dioxin into the town’s aquifer, while B releases 30 gallons during the same time frame. It would cost A $800 per gallon to clean up its production, while B can clean up its waste at a cost of $500 per gallon. After this issue is raised at a town hall meeting, the town’s residents vote to reduce total dioxin pollution to 20 gallons per week. a. What would be the total cost of pollution reduction if each company were limited to 10 gallons of waste per week? b. What would the total costs be if each company received 10 gallons worth of tradable pollution credits? 2. A wheat farmer and a cattle rancher occupy adjacent parcels of land. Every year the farmer builds a fence to keep the cattle out of his field, and every year the rancher tears the fence down so that the cattle can roam free. The farmer values the wheat that gets destroyed at $300, while the rancher values having a…Suppose there are 100 farmers each with 10 acres that overlie a common groundwater aquifer. They all have identical farmland that is more productive if wells are used to pump the groundwater for irrigation. They all face a marginal cost of $10 per well. The average productivity (in $ of crop output) of the wells of the common aquifer is given by AP = 100 – W where W is the number of wells drilled into the aquifer. 1a. Assume farmers act on their own how many wells will be drilled and how much rent will the aquifer generate. A. 45; 2025 B. 90; 2025 C. 60; 1000 D. 90; 0 E. 45; 0 F. None of the abovePlants 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.
- Please helo me with this question There are 50 residents that live in a small town in California. Each resident uses electricity and there is one power station that produces electricity for the residents from coal. Each residents' demand for electricity is Q = 10 - 2P and the supply function for the power plant is Q = 150P. For each unit of electricity that the power station produces, there is a corresponding release of pollution that leads to asthma and other health problems for the 50 residents. The marginal damage of each unit of electricity produced, per person, is $.05. a. What is the market equilibrium price and quantity per unit of electricity? b. What is the efficient Pigouvian tax per unit of pollution? c. The government of this small California town decides to impose the efficient Pigouvian per unit tax on the power station. What is the new social optimum price and quantity per unit of electricity? d. What is the government tax revenue? e. What is the gain in total…HighFlyer Airlines wants to build new airplanes with greatly increased cabin space. This will allow HighFlyer Airlines to give passengers more comfort and sell more tickets at a higher price. However, redesigning the cabin means rethinking many other elements of the airplane as well, like engine and luggage placement, and the most efficient shape of the plane for moving through the air. HighFlyer Airlines has developed a list of possible methods to increase cabin space, along with estimates of how these approaches would affect the planes operating costs and ticket sales. Based on these estimates, Table 13.5 shows the value of R, how much should the firm invest in R on top of the private return; that is, an R private return to HighFlyer Airlines would have a 9 social return. How much investment is socially optimal at the 6 interest rate?grow cherry tomatoes and catch salmon. The accompanying table shows the maximum annual output combinations oftomatoes and salmon that can be produced. Obviously, given their limited resources and available technology, as they use more of their resources for cherry tomato production, there are fewer resources available for catching salmon.

- Suppose that there are only two fisherman, Zach and Jacob, who fish along a certain were built along the coast. They would each benefit if lighthouses were built along the coast where they fish. The marginal cost of building each additional lighthouse is $100. The marginal benefit to Zach of each additional lighthouse is 90-Q, and the marginal benefit to Jacob is 40-Q, where Q equals the number of lighthouses. a. Explain why we might not expect to find the efficient number of lighthouses along this coast. b. What is the efficient number of lighthouses? What would be the net benefits to Zach and Jacob if the efficient number were provided?Suppose a city releases 16 million gallons of raw sewage into a nearby lake. Table shows the total costs of cleaning up the sewage to different levels, together with the total benefits of doing so. (Benefits include environmental, recreational, health, and industrial benefits.). a. Using the information in Table, calculate the marginal costs and marginal benefits of reducing sewage emissions for this city. See Production, Costs and Industry Structure if you need a refresher on how to calculate marginal costs. b. What is the optimal level of sewage for this city? c. Why not just pass a law that firms can emit zero sewage? After all, the total benefits of zero emissions exceed the total costs.Following are the marginal abatement costs of three firms . Suppose each firm is currently emitting 10 tons / week , so the total emissions are 30 tons / week . Suppose we wish to reduce total emissions by 50 % , to 15 tons per week . The following table provides marginal abatement costs for each firm . a ) What is the total cost if each firm cuts total emission by 50 % from their current levels . b ) What is the total cost if the total emissions decrease by 50 % ( to 15 tons per week ) that meets the equi - marginal principle . c ) From the society's point , which method of reducing ( a or b above ) emissions is better ? Provide a reason .
