1. Consider a steel firm that faces a convex isoquant production function where the inputs are labor and capital. The production function yields constant returns to scale. The firm is currently at a cost-minimizing combination of labor and capital for the desired level of output. Suppose the capital used in the production process emits low amounts of polluted wastewater into a nearby river. In order to promote the use of the environmentally friendly capital the government provides a unit subsidy...
