How market equilibrium is found with Pollution Abatement Subsidy? Also draw graph and interpret it.
EOC 11.04 Two businesses, X and Y, each dump 20 tonnes of pollution into a creek. In an effort to reduce pollution, the government will now require businesses to have a pollution permit to dump pollutants in the creek. Each business receives 10 pollution permits and they can use it to pollute or sell it to the other business (but lose the ability to pollute). To reduce pollution it costs business X $100 per tonne of pollutant eliminated and it costs business Y $50 per tonne of pollutant eliminated. Once the two businesses have traded these permits with each other, what is the likely outcome? Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a business X emits 10 tonnes of pollutants and business Y emits 10 tonnes of pollutants. b business X no longer pollutes, and business Y will not lower the amount it pollutes. business X raises its pollution, and business Y will lower how much it pollutes. business Y no longer pollutes, and…

3. The effect of negative externalities on the optimal quantityof consumption Consider the market for steel. Suppose that a steel manufacturing plant dumps toxic waste into' a nearby river, creating a negative externality for those living downstream from the plant. Producing an additional ton of steel imposes a constant external cost of $385 per ton. The following graph shows the demand (private value) curve and the supply (private cost) curve for steel. Use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the social cost curve when the external cost is $385 per ton. 1100 990 Social Cost 880 770 Supply (Private Cost) 660 550 440 330 220 Demand 110 (Private Value) 1 2 14 6. 7 QUANTITY (Tons of steel).
