The government orders every factory to adopt a new technology, which reduces carbon-
dioxide emissions into the atmosphere.
The government charges factories $110 for every ton of carbon dioxide they emit.
Trees take carbon dioxide out of the air and convert it to oxygen, so the government
funds a tree-planting initiative by offering $110 to any citizen who plants a tree.
The government limits total carbon-dioxide emissions by all factories to 180,000 tons
per year. Each individual factory is given the right to emit 140 tons of carbon dioxide,
and factories may buy and sell these rights in a marketplace.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F4acfbec8-0c26-48e8-be00-1b1fb4494aa7%2F2dfe88d9-6370-426a-95d7-a4e631132042%2Fl2whm9u_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
