1. The graph below illustrates the marginal abatement cost curve for a firm's carbon dioxide emissions. Tº MAC A B E E₁ Carbon Dioxide Suppose that the EPA imposes an emissions tax with a per-unit charge of T* on carbon dioxide emissions. Which of the following statements are true? (Check each that is true) The tax bill to the firm will be given by the area A + B. The firm will choose to reduce emissions by (E。 - E*) units. Total abatement costs to the firm are equal to T*. Total abatement costs plus the tax bill to the firm is given by the area B + C. The firm will prefer a performance standard of E* units over this emissions tax policy.

Corrective taxes Tradable permits One way governments can charge firms for pollution rights is by imposing a per-unit tax on emissions. A tax (or price in this case) of S of chemicals emitted will achieve the desired level of pollution. (?) Now suppose the U.S. government does not know the demand curve for pollution and, therefore, cannot determine the optimal tax to achieve the desired level of pollution. Instead, it auctions off tradable pollution permits. Each permit entitles its owner to emit one ton of chemicals per day. To achieve the socially optimal quantity of pollution, the government auctions off 140…

Update the graph below to illustrate the efficient level of emissions if new research demonstrates that emissions are more harmful than previously estimated. Clearly show which curve(s) change and denote the new efficient level of emissions as E4.
7) A Detroit factory is polluting more than the socially optimal amount. The city government then imposes a lump sum tax on the business, but the business didn't change how much they were polluting. Explain what was wrong with the city's decision.

Assume that to balance the benefits of providing electricity with its pollution costs, A. Treehugger recommends that the government imposes a tax $0.04 for every kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity sold. If they do, how much of this tax is actually paid by the customer (consumer’s burden) and how much is paid by the firm (producer’s burden)?
Only typed answer You are an industry analyst that specializes in an industry where the market inverse demand is P = 100 - 3Q. The external marginal cost of producing the product is MCExternal = 6Q, and the internal cost is MCInternal = 14Q. Instruction: Round your answers to the nearest two decimal places. a. What is the socially efficient level of output? units b. Given these costs and market demand, how much output would a competitive industry produce? units c. Given these costs and market demand, how much output would a monopolist produce? units d. Which of the following are actions the government could take to induce firms in this industry to produce the socially efficient level of output. Instructions: You may select more than one answer.

Imagine a firm’s marginal abatement cost function with existing technologies is: MAC = 100 – 2E. If the firm adopts new pollution abatement technologies, its marginal abatement cost function will be: MAC = 50 – E. If the government raises the tax on emissions from $4 to $12, the benefits of adopting the new technologies increase by $____
There are two factories in a small town. Both of them emit carbon dioxide into the air. Their current monthly emissions, as well as their total costs for reducing emissions in 20-ton increments, are listed in the tables below.
