Imagine a firm's marginal abatement cost function with existing technologies is: MAC = 12 – E. If the firm adopts new pollution abatement technologies, its marginal abatement cost function will be: MAC = 6 – 0.5E. The adoption costs for the new technology are $6. If the government raises the tax on emissions from $1 to $4, the benefits of adopting the new technologies increase by $. Select one: a. $7.50. O b. $12. C. $3. O d. $4.5.
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.
