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
