The town has a kayak rental and visitors use the lake for recreation. The town also has a chemical lab that dumps industrial waste into the lake. This pollutes the lake and makes it a less desirable vacation destination. That is, the chemical lab's waste decreases the kayak rental's economic profit. Suppose that the chemical lab could use a different production method that involves recycling water. This would reduce the pollution in the lake to levels safe for recreation, and the kayak rental would no longer be affected. If the chemical lab uses the recycling method, then the chemical lab's economic profit is $900 per week, and the kayak rental's economic profit is $2,600 per week. If the chemical lab does not use the recycling method, then the chemical lab's economic profit is $1,600 per week, and the kayak rental's economic profit is $1,500 per week. These figures are summarized in the following table. Complete the following table by computing the total profit (the chemical lab's…

Chapter 10 The first government employee suggests reducing pollution through regulation. To meet the pollution goal, the government requires each firm reduce its pollution by 2 units. Complete the following table with the total cost to each firm of reducing its pollution by 2 units. Firm Total Cost of Eliminating Two Units of Pollution (Dollars) Firm A Firm B Firm C ☐☐ Method 2: Tradable Permits Meanwhile, the other employee proposes using a different strategy to achieve the government's goal of reducing pollution in the area from 1 6 units. This employee suggests that the government issue two pollution permits to each firm. For each permit a firm has in its possession, i 1 unit of pollution. Firms are free to trade pollution permits with one another (that is, buy and sell them) as long as both firms can agree on For example, if firm A agrees to sell a permit to firm B at an agreed-upon price, then firm B would end up with three permits and would nee reduce its pollution by only 1 unit…
