Answer: there will be too much pollution
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that government officials have set an emissions tax to reduce pollution and that the optimal tax should have been $1,500 but government officials have set the tax equal to $500.
It should be noted that due to the fact that the optimal tax has been set below the equilibrium, this will lead to a rise in pollution as the people will be aware that they're paying less than the optimal level which will lead to more pollution. An increase in the optimal tax will have help in reducing the pollution.

Answer:
A) the discounted payback period decreases as the discount rate increases
Explanation:
The discounted payback period is used to determine the profitability of an investment project.
A not discounted payback period is how long does it take for the cash flows of a project to recoup the investment's cost without considering the value of money in time. By applying a discount to the cash flows, the discounted period will more accurately measure the length of time needed to recoup an investment using current dollars.
The higher the discount rate, the longer it will take for the cash flows to cover the investment's cost, so if the discount rate lowers, then the discounted payback period will be shorter.
Answer:
Low balance checking account
Explanation:
Since Becca has a small amount of money, only $500, and only uses the ATM around 4 times per month, her best option is a low balance checking account. This type of checking account works very well for people that can only keep a small balance. Many banks don't charge fees for this type of account as long as you write only a limited number of checks, your bank statement is sent to you online, and you use only their ATMs.
The other types of checking accounts usually require much higher balances, and of the minimum balance is not met, then they will charge you a monthly fee.
