Assume the firm has historical emissions of 10 units of carbon and the government regulator gives the firm 7 permits to pollute. Each permit allows 1 unit of pollution. Calculate the extra profit (or cost savings) the firm receives from participating in the permit market given their initial allocation of permits (7) and the market price of $8. Show your work. Shade and label the area on the graph that represents your numerical answer from the question above. Upload your graph.

On the following graph, use the green point (triangle symbol) to plot the weekly total revenue when the market price is $50, $75, $100, $125, $150, $175, and $200 per scooter. TOTAL REVENUE (Dollars) 2610 2430 2250 2070 1890 1710 1530 1350 1170 990 Δ ΔΔ Δ 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 175 200 225 250 275 300 325 PRICE (Dollars per scooter) Total Revenue ? According to the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand between points A and B is approximately 0.69 ▼ Suppose the price of scooters is currently $125 per scooter, shown as point A on the initial graph. Because the demand between points A and B is inelastic , a $25-per-scooter decrease in price will lead to a decrease in total revenue per week.

Draw a graph with pollution abatement on the horizontal axis (assume a firm can remove up to 100 tons of pollution) and dollars ($) on the vertical axis. Draw one firm's marginal abatement cost curve (MC). Say a pollution tax is imposed on the firm. a. What are the costs the firm would incur if they chose to not reduce pollution at all? b. Is there a different level of pollution abatement the firm could choose that would result in lower costs? c. Label that level of abatement A* on your graph and shade in the area that represents the cost-savings as compared to when they polluted 100 tons (did no abatement)
\table[[],,,, Pollute, Use FiThere are two firms whose factories sit alongside a lake. It costs each firm $2,100.00 to install filters to avoid polluting the lake. Because both firms utilize the lake's water to produce goods, a polluted lake hurts their production process and increases their costs. Assume that the cost to each firm of a polluted lake is $1400.00 times the number of polluting firms. Fill in the cost matrix based on the above information. Note: Include negative signs because this problem refers to costs.Which of the following are true about the equilibrium in a one-shot game? Choose one or more: A. Both firms pollute. B. Only firm 2 pollutes. C. The equilibrium is not Pareto optimal. D. Neither firm pollutes. E. Only firm 1 pollutes. Pollute Firm 1 Use Filter Firm 2 Pollute Use Filter
