Answer:
Answer for the question:
There are ten polluting firms, Firm1,. . . ,Firm10. Each firm emits 100 pounds of pollution prior to any regulations (so there are currently 1,000 pounds being emitted). Each firm has constant marginal abatement costs, but the costs vary across firms. Conveniently, the firms’ names indicate their marginal abatement costs. Firm1’s marginal abatement costs are constant at $1 per pound, Firm2’s marginal abatement costs are constant at $2 per pound,. . . , and Firm10’s marginal abatement costs are $10 per pound.
a. Suppose the regulator wants to achieve a 25% reduction in pollution (250 pounds). What is the cost effective allocation of emis- sions across the ten firms?
b. What are the total abatement costs for society to achieve a 250 pound reduction in emissions?
c. The marginal damage of pollution in this city is given by MD= 4-1/250 X, where X is the total reduction in pollution. What is the optimal level of pollution?
is given in the attachment.

Answer:
$340,000
Explanation:
The computation of Product X’s sales value at the split-off point is shown below:
= Total sales value - Product Y sales value at the split-off point - Product Z sales value at the split-off point
= $600,000 - $150,000 - $110,000
= $340,000
Basically for determining the Product X sales value at the split-off point, we deduct the Product Y sales value and the Product Z sales value at the split-off point from the total sales value
Answer:
Price elasticity of demand shows how much a 1% change in the price of a good or services changes the quantity demanded.
In the short run, a 10% increase in price decreases quantity demanded by 4%
PED short run = % change in price / % change in quantity = 4% / 10% = 0.4
PED long run = % change in price / % change in quantity = 7.5% / 10% = 0.75
Both PEDs are inelastic since they are less than 1, which means that an increase in price will result in a proportionally smaller decrease in the quantity demanded. But the PED in the long run is less inelastic, which means that an increase in price will decrease the quantity demanded more in the long than in the short run.
This happens because smokes consider that cigarettes are a basic necessity, so they are willing to purchase them even if the price increases. But as time passes (long run), more smokers will consider that it is not worth paying that much for cigarettes and will probably quit smoking or at least reduce the number of cigarettes they smoke per day.
