1. Recurring
2. Variable
3. Fixed
4. Sunk
5. Opportunity
6. Incremental
7. Direct
8. Nonrecurring

b. ______costs are incurred because of the use of limited resources such that the ability to use those resources to monetary advantage in another way is foregone.
c. ______costs are those which are unaffected by changes in activity level over a feasible range of operations for the capacity available.
d. _____costs, in total, change in relation to the quantity of output or other measures of activity level.
e. ______cost refers to the additional cost that will result from increasing the output of a system by one or more units.
f. ______costs are those that are repetitive and occur when goods or services are produced on a continuing basis.
g. ______costs can be reasonably measured and allocated to a specific output or work activity.
h. ______costs are not repetitive even though the total expenditure may be cumulative over a relatively short period of time.

3. Consider a single firm that manufactures chemicals and generates pollution through its emissions E. Researchers have estimated the MDF and MAC curves for the emissions to be the following: MDF = 4E and MAC = 125 – E Policymakers have decided to implement an emissions tax to control pollution. They are aware that a constant per-unit tax of $100 is an efficient policy. Yet they are also aware that this policy is not politically feasible because of the large tax burden it places on the firm. As a result, policymakers propose a two- part tax: a per unit tax of $75 for the first 15 units of emissions an increase in the per unit tax to $100 for all further units of emissions With an emissions tax, what is the general condition that determines how much pollution the regulated party will emit? What is the efficient level of emissions given the above MDF and MAC curves? What are the firm's total tax payments under the constant $100 per-unit tax? What is the firm's total cost of compliance…
