Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Marginal utility refers to the additional unit of fraction derived from the consumption of one or more additional units of goods and services. The total utility refers to the total satisfaction of a person, which derives from the consumption of various units of a commodity.
Marginal utility first rises and then declines due to the working of the law of diminishing marginal utility, which states that as a person goes on consuming more and more units of the same commodity, his satisfaction increases and then starts declining. This is why the marginal utility first rises and then declines.

- "Whether the regulator sells or gives away tradeable emission permits free of charge, the quantities of emissions produced by firms are the same." Assume that there are n identical profit-maximising firms where profit for each firm is given by π(e) with л'(e) > 0; π"(e) < 0 and e denotes emissions. Individual emissions summed over all firms gives E which generates environmental damages D(E). Show that the regulator achieves the optimal level of total pollution through a tradeable emission permit scheme, where the permits are distributed according to the following cases: Case (i) the firm purchases all permits; Case (ii) the firm receives all permits free; and Page 3 of 5 ES30031 Case (iii) the firm purchases a portion of its permits and receives the remainder free of charge.arrow_forwardcompare and/or contrast the two plays we've been reading, Antigone and A Doll's House.arrow_forwardPlease answer step by steparrow_forward
