Imagine a firm's marginal abatement cost function with existing technologies is: MAC = 16 - 2E. If the firm adopts new pollution abatement technologies, its marginal abatement cost function will be: MAC = 8 -E. If the government raises the tax on emissions from $2 to $3, the benefits of adopting the new technologies increase by $ Select one: O a. $1.25. O b. $4.50. O C. $2. O d. $1.75

20-3. Lightweight personal locator beacons are now available to hikers that make it easier for the Forest Service;s rescue teams to locate those lost or in trouble in the wilderness. How will this affect the costs that the Forest Service incurs?
warten population manghe ecosystem's Carrying capacity? 6. We have the following data for Demand Price and Costs for our product. Quantity Demand Price Costs 300 100 $21.63 $35.35 $5040.00 $2347.67 500 $17.25 $7481.67 1000 $12.70 $12469.67 1500 $10.26 $16196.00 We have reason to believe that the Demand Price is a power (exponential) function of some kind. Our Cost function is close to linear, but we expect, from some market analysis, that it is in fact quadratic. Approximate this data with a Demand Price function and a Cost function. Explain how confident you are; that is, how much error do you think is reasonable in this type of scenario? 区
An unregulated paint factory that pollutes a river results in and OO (... OA. the efficient quantity produced; a marginal benefit equal to the marginal social cost OB. underproduction; a price that equals the marginal benefit from the good C. an inefficient quantity produced; a marginal benefit below the marginal social cost O D. overproduction; a price that exceeds the marginal benefit from the good
The table below shows...
The shapes of the marginal benefit and cost curves indicate that O as pollution is reduced, the total benefits of pollution reduction will fall. as pollution is reduced, the total costs of pollution reduction will fall. O as pollution is reduced, each additional unit brings fewer and fewer additional benefits. as pollution is reduced, each additional unit costs less and less to reduce.

\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

1. The graph below illustrates the marginal abatement cost curve for a firm's carbon dioxide emissions. T° 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 (Eo - 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.

The table below shows current carbon emissions and the cost of reducing carbon emissions for three industrial firms. The government introduces a cap-and-trade policy to regulate carbon emissions. The total cap on emissions is 180 tonnes of carbon, and each firm receives an initial allocation of tradable permits for 60 tonnes of carbon emissions. Current carbon emissions Firm A B C (tonnes) 80 100 70 a. Firm A will buy 40 emission ✓ Firm C. Cost of reducing emissions by 1 ton ($) 150 200 50 Firm B will sell 20 emissior Firm C. Instructions: Round your answer to the nearest whole number. b. To break even, the selling firm must receive $ 150
