The government allows sulphur dioxide emissions of 4 parts per billion and has a tradable permits program. The 2 firms in the market pollute at a rate of 5 parts per billion and 6 parts per billion respectively. The 2 firms have the following costs to reduce emissions. The least expensive way to reach the government’s mandate is: Reduction of Sulphur Dioxide Cost - Firm 1 Cost - Firm 2 By 1 part per billion $200,000/year $80,000/year By 2 parts per billion $420,000/year $200,000/year By 3 parts per billion $700,000/year $340,000/year By 4 parts per billion $1,200,000/year $650,000/year Group of answer choices $400,000. $200,000. $340,000.

Under emission standards, the amount of compliance cost faced by a polluter is ___________________________? The total abatement costs Zero The sum of the compensation and abatement costs The compensation based on damages caused by the polluter

when left the treat environment as if it has no value the polluters in region release collective 500 tons of pollutant per year. The damages from this pollutant are MD=10e while aggregate abatement cost is MAC=10+5a. Calculate; A)efficient aggregate levels of abatement and emissions B)use calculations to show that a one ton increase or decrease in emissions would not be efficient

There is a company that emits a moderate amount of fossil fuel emissions. It would cost them 10 dollars to reduce emissions by 1 tonne, an additional 15 dollars to reduce emissions by a second tonne, an additional 25 dollars to reduce emissions by a third tonne, an additional 30 dollars to reduce emissions by a fourth tonne, and an additional 100 dollars to reduce emissions for a fifth tonne. If the price for a 1 tonne of emissions in a cap-and-trade program is 25 dollars, how many tonnes of emissions is the company likely to reduce?   a. one tonne b. two tonnes c. three tonnes d. four tonnes c. 5 tonnes

A firm has a marginal emissions benefit of 100-0.5*E in each of 2 years, where E measures emissions in tons. The marginal cost of emissions to society is 75/ton. The discount rate is 10% and the marginal cost of emissions also grows at 10% per year. The government decides to give the firm permits to emit 50 tons of emissions per year, but allows the firm to "bank" or "borrow" permits across the two years so that this effectively acts as a 100 ton cap on emissions over 2 years. How much will the firm emit in each year? If all firms are identical to the one you analyze here, is the government issuing too many or too few emission permits relative to the efficient level? How do you know?

Two firms, Kegareta Incorporated and Sucio Enterprises, have access to five production processes, each one of which has a different cost and gives off a different amount of pollution. The daily costs of the processes and the corresponding number of tons of smoke emitted are shown in the accompanying table. Kegareta Incorporated Sucio Enterprises A B D E C 4 tons/day 3 tons/day 2 tons/day 1 tons/day 0 tons/day $ 40 120 $ 85 175 $ 135 250 $ 190 345 $ 250 460 If the government requires each firm to cut its emissions by 25 percent, the total cost of this policy to the society is $
