The efficient level of pollution reduction is 10 million.
Explanation: If further effort is used to reduce pollution below 10 million gallons of sewage, the marginal cost (350 - 120 = 230) would be greater than the marginal benefits ( 900 - 700 = 200.).
Question 9 4 pts A city currently emits 16 million gallons of raw sewage into a...
1 pts Suppose a city releases 16 million gallons of raw sewage into a nearby lake. The table below shows the total costs of cleaning up the sewage to different levels, together with the total benefits of doing so. (Benefits include environmental, recreational, health, and industrial benefits. Using the information in the table, calculate the marginal costs and marginal benefits of reducing sewage emissions for this city. What is the optimal level of sewage for this city? Total Cost Total...
Question 29 1 pts Study the information located on the following graph. Using the graph select the statement that is an accurate statement? Price ATC MC AVC Po DD m 0 Q Quantity Production expansion should continue because MR is always less than MC. The profit maximizing rule is not P = MC because this is a perfectly competitive firm. The profit maximizing rule is not P = MR because this is a perfectly competitive firm. Expanding production will reduce...
1. Suppose that Adam's willingness To Pay (WTP) for a shirt of a particular brand is equal to 525. The market price of the brand is initially = $35 (thus, Adam's "consumer's surplus" SO, since he won't buy the shirt at that price). But then the brand becomes less popular (although Adam's WTP still equals 5 25; note that the Demand Curve will shift to the left when the brand becomes less popular). a.) Use a relevant graph to show...
