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.

Suppose that a firm's marginal abatement cost function with existing technologies is MAC = 12 - E. If the firm adopts new pollution abatement technologies, then its marginal abatement cost function will become MAC = 6 - 0.5E. With an emissions tax of $3, the benefits of adopting the new technologies equal $__. Please round your final answer to two decimal places if necessary. Answer:
The market for plasticans is perfectly competitive. Market Supply is givenby Q=4P and Market Demand is given by Q=368-2P. Each extra unit ofplastican produced creates a positive externality of $5. What is theefficient quantity? Efficient quantity is determined by setting Marginal Social Costs(=Marg. Pvt. Cost + Marg. External Cost.) equal to Marg. SocialCost=MWTP which is captured by the Demand curve

The demand curve for prepaid internet services is given by Pd = 80 – 0.2Q and the supply curve is given by Ps = 20 + 0.2Q(a) The consumer surplus (CS) is estimated at 2250. (b) An imposition of a tax of PHP10 per unit on prepaid internet services will result in a producer surplus (PS) equivalent to 1262.5. (c) An imposition of a tax of PHP 10 per unit will reduce the CS by 687.5 and PS by 687.5. Thus, the net loss to society with the imposition of a tax is 1375.
