Unit of Pollution Marginal Cost of damage Consider a scenario where there are 15 total units of pollution occurring within a given area. The per unit cost of damage increases by $3 each time pollution increases as the pollution gets ever closer to the absorptive capacity of the environment (see the table to the left). There are three sectors in this economy each contributing 5 units of pollution. Each firm could conceivably clean up this pollution; however due to differences...

Two thermic power plants have the following marginal and total cost of abatement of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. When faced with no restrictions each of them emits maximum 100 ppm (parts per million) of NOx. Firm 1: MAC1=5 A1 TAC1=2.5 (A1)^2 Firm 2: MAC2 = 10 A2 TAC2= 5(A2)^2 (8 pts) The EPA finds the total NOx emissions of 200 ppm too much and seeks for improvement in air quality by specifying the reduction of 40% in total emissions from...

Suppose the marginal external cost of emissions of a certain substance is equal to $16. Furthermore assume that there are two sources of these emissions. The unregulated emissions (Ei), total cost of abatement (TCA), and marginal cost of abatement (MCA) for the two sources are given below TCA, = (Al)2 MCA -2A MCA2 - A2 Source 1: E,-20 E, = 20 Source 2: TCA25%(A). abatement for each source? Illustrate in a diagram. [6] a function of the tax? What is...

A firm’s marginal abatement cost function is given by MAC = 200–5E. Costs are in dollars per tonne and emissions are in tonnes per year. The firm is given 20 tradeable pollution permits (each permit allows it to emit one tonne of pollution) and the current market price per permit is $100. Suppose that, after adopting new abatement technology, the firms marginal abatement function becomes MAC = 160–4E a)Given no change in the permit price how many tonnes of pollution...

Suppose a firm’s marginal abatement function is given by MAC = 120 –2.5E, and it faces a $110 per unit emissions tax. Suppose damages caused by this firm’s pollution is given by the function MD = 5E. a) To achieve social efficiency, how many units of emissions should the firm abate? b) What size per unit tax will give the firm an incentive to abate to the socially efficient level of emissions? c) If the firm abates to the socially...
