Answer:

$20,670

Explanation:

                                               Firm A                   Firm B

Actual Dumping                         157                        183

Pollution Permits Allotted          <u> 11  </u>                        <u>  11  </u>

Reduction Required                   146                        172

Cost of Dumping 1 ton              $160                      $65

As the cost of dumping to Firm A is $160 which is higher than the marginal cost of dumping of Firm B which is $65, so it is better that Firm B take benefit from it by selling it at $65. So now total tons require dumping is 318 tons (146 + 172).

Total cost of reducing pollution = 318 tons * $65 = $20,670

Prices of microbrewery beer (assume that this is a normal good) have risen steadily in recent years. Over this same period, pric
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Since microbrewery beer is considered a normal good, opposing forces are currently determining its price.

The price of fermenting vats, which are a key input in the supply of microbrewery beer, have increased. This increase in a key input will shift the supply curve to the left making microbrewery beer more expensive at any demand level, reducing the supply of the product.

A decrease in consumer income will decrease the demand and will shift the demand curve to the left, which should decrease the price of the product.   

Since the leftward shift of the supply curve is greater than the leftward shift of the demand curve, the price new equilibrium price will increase.
