Please help with the calculations & working :) In this question there is a diagram with ‘y’ being the vertical axis representing costs/damages, and ‘P’ being a horizontal axis representing pollution. Abatement is the opposite of pollution, so if pollution falls from, say, 3 to 1 abatement rises by 2. 1. Suppose the marginal damage curve to private firms is MDP: y=0 and the marginal cost of abatement is MCA: y=1-P if P<1 and y=0 otherwise, where y is the vertical axis on a cost/damage scale, and P is the amount of pollution. Plot these curves and the equilibrium amount of pollution which is privately optimal for the firm. 2. Why is the marginal cost of abatement is downward sloping (with increasing pollution measured on the bottom axis as you go right). Give an example where this is a reasonable assumption 3. Suppose the marginal damage to society is MDS: y=P. Calculate the socially optimal amount of pollution. What ethical system does the ‘optimal amount of pollution’ belong? To…
4. When handling insects, knowing where the pests are thickest can help save on insecticide usage. But scounting for bugs also comes at a price. Determine the appropriate blend of insect scouting and insecticide to manage your insect issues on the farm. Complete the following worksheet considering the different strategies for soybean production and answer the accompanying questions. The price of insect scouting is $30 per hour and insecticide is $6 per quart.

What is the appropriate decision rule for input substitution? What does that rule to seek to achieve (be more specific than saying "profit maximization")? (b) What is the profit maximizing strategy? What is the cost associated with that strategy? (c) Explain how the input price ratio will change if both input prices decrease from the initial scenario by…
