! Suppose there are two firms in the world with marginal costs of abatement given by:MC^ = X4.MC® = 3XEach firm is emitting 3 tons of CO2 initially, for a total of 6 tons.Suppose the marginal benefit curve is vertical (a threshold effect) at X = 4. This implies X*=4.a)Suppose the government decides that the firms should split the burden, so each onewill do 2 units of abatement. What is the total cost to firm A, firm B, and the two together?b)Apply the equimarginal principle.What is the cheapest way to reach X* (i.e. how much abatement do A and B do)?
