EOC 11.04 Consider two car factories, one run by Ford and the other run by Honda, that both create pollution. The government wants to reduce how much these two factories pollute by 40 tons, so only allow factories to pollute if they have a permit. Each factory is given 20 pollution permits. A business can use a permit to emit one ton of pollution or they can sell it to another business (and lose the ability to pollute). To lower pollution it costs Ford $200 per ton of pollutant removed and it costs Honda $100 per ton removed. After Ford and Honda have met to trade their permits with each other, what we expect to happen?
