owner to release one tonne of pollutants into the atmosphere.

a. If no fee for a pollution permit were charged, how many tonnes of pollutants would be discharged into the atmosphere, assuming a
straight-line demand curve?
Quantity:
tonnes
b. Suppose government were to set a fee of $3,000 per pollution permit. How many tonnes of pollutants would now be dumped?
What is the total revenue received by government?
Quantity:
tonnes
Total revenue: $
c. Suppose that a new technology allows for a significant reduction in hydrocarbons at a relatively low cost so that the demand for
pollution permits in the industrial park drops by 200 tonnes. Assuming that government holds the permit fee at $3,000, how many
tonnes of pollutants would now be dumped? What would be the total revenue received by government?
Quantity:
tonnes
Total revenue: $
d. After the change in demand in (c), what would happen if, instead of maintaining the fee of $3.000. government wants to maintain the
same level of pollutants as in (b)? What fee would it have to charge, and what would be its new revenue?
Fee: $
Total revenue: $
