1. Suppose that the Marginal Abatement Cost function and the Marginal Damage function for an industry are given as follows: For simplicity here, we are assuming that they are linear. a. Graph the MAC and MD curves for this industry. Make sure you are marking out any and all relevant axis intercepts. MAC 100- 0.8e MD = 0.2e b. Suppose that an emission tax is imposed to achieve the efficient outcome, at what value should the government set the tax? Explain. c. e. At the efficient tax established in part b. what is the expected level of emissions? Explain. d. At the efficient tax, what is the dollar amount of the tax payment by firms to the government? Explain. What is the total abatement cost incurred due to the tax? Explain. f. What is the total cost to the firm with this emissions tax? Explain. g. Which policy is more costly to the polluting firm? An efficient standard or an efficient emissions tax? Explain. Use numbers to support your answer.
