Assume that a firm has the following marginal benefit of pollution (denoted E for emissions, measured in tons): MB=150-5 E e. No

w assume that instead the government allocates each firm permits to pollute equal to the total current pollution minus 12 tons, but allows the firms to trade. Which firm will purchase permits and which firm will sell permits? Hint: Notice that total pollution reduction of firm 1 plus firm 2 will be 24 tons. f. How much pollution reduction will each firm undertake after they have traded permits? What will the total cost of pollution reduction be across both firms? g. What price will permits sell for? What would the total cost to each firm of complying with the cap-and-trade policy be? h. Explain in words why the total cost of reducing pollution is lower under cap-and-trade than with firm-specific pollution limits. 3. Assume that a firm has the following marginal benefit of pollution (denoted E for emissions, measured in tons): MB=150-5E a. How much would this firm pollute if pollution is unregulated? b. The government would like to reduce pollution from this amount by 12 tons and so implements a quantity constraint at the quantity in part (a) minus 12. What is the cost to this firm of reducing pollution by 12 tons? C. What tax would encourage this polluter to reduce pollution by the same 12 tons as the quantity constraint? What would the cost of this tax be to the firm? d. Now assume that there is a second firm with the following marginal benefit of pollution: M B =90-3 E2. How much pollution would this firm emit if pollution is unregulated and what would it's cost be to reduce pollution by 12 tons from that level? e. Now assume that instead the government allocates each firm permits to pollute equal to the total current pollution minus 12 tons, but allows the firms to trade. Which firm will purchase permits and which firm will sell permits? Hint: Notice that total pollution reduction of firm 1 plus firm 2 will be 24 tons. f. How much pollution reduction will each firm undertake after they have traded permits? What will the total cost of pollution reduction be across both firms? 8. What price will permits sell for? What would the total cost to each firm of complying with the cap-and-trade policy be? h. Explain in words why the total cost of reducing pollution is lower under cap-and-trade than with firm-specific pollution limits.

Answer:

Explanation:

E)cost of pollution is reduction in benefit of the firms.

MB=150-5E,. MB=90-3E

E=30-MB/5. E=30-MB/3

Joint MB,

E=60-8MB/15

MB=112.5-1.875E

Total pollution reduction=24

Total pollution=60-24=36

MB=112.5-1.875*36=112.5-67.5=45

Firm 1

MB=150-5E.

45=150-5E.

E=-105/-5=21

Reduction=30-21=9

Firm 2,

MB=90-3E

45=90-3E

E=-45/-3=15

Reduction =30-15=15

So firm 2 is reducing 15 units of pollution and firm 1 reducing 9 units of pollution.

As each firm have to reduce 12 units of pollution but firm 2 reducing 3 units more while firm 1 reducing 3 less units.

So, firm 2 is selling 3 units of pollution emission permit to firm 1.

F)firm 1 reduce 9 units and firm 2 reduce 12 units of pollution after trade.

Total cost of pollution reduction will total Benefit reduction by pollution reduction.

MB=112.5 -1.875E

TB=112.5E-0.9375E^2

TB at E=60

TB=112.5*60-0.9375*60*60=6750-3375=3375

TB at E=36

TB=112.5*36-0.9375*36*36=4050-1215=2836

Total cost of pollution reduction=3375-2836=540

G)price of permit= cost of extra pollution reduction by firm 2 or total cost from 9 to 12 by firm 2

MB=90-3E

TB=90E- 1.5E^2

TB at E=18

TB=90*18 -1.5*18*18=1620-486=1134

TB at E=15

TB=90*15 -1.5*15*15=1350-337.5=1012.5

Permit price=1134-1012.5=121.5

Total cost to firm 2 =1134

Net total cost to firm 2=1134-121.5=1012.5

Total cost to firm 1=150E-2.5E^2=150*9-2.5*9*9=1350-202.5=1147.5

Net total cost=1147.5+121.5=1269

H) the total cost is lower in cap & trade policy is because the firm who has higher cost of pollution reduction is paying the other firm who has lower cost of pollution reduction to reduce more pollution ,so that his part of pollution reduction can be completed.

And the amount he is paying is equal to the amount that is cost of other firm of reducing additional pollution units.

So the cost the firm is lower as he is paying lower amount than if he reduce pollution by itself.

Which bond from each set has the greatest bond energy and why?. A.) N-O or N-F. B.) B-F or B-Cl. C.) B-C or O-F. D.) C-O or C=O.
Solnce55 [7]
A) N-F becasue F ismore electronegative so the covalent bond is stronger
B) B-Cl because Cl is a smaller atom than Br so the covalent bond is stronger 
C) O-F because the atoms are more electronegative so the bond is stronger.
D) C=O because the double bond is stronger than the single bond.
E) P-Cl because Cl is smaller than Br so the electrostatic force of attraction between the positive nucleus and the bonding electrons is stronger, thus the covalent bond is stronger

Answer:

The question has some part missing which I have added in the attachment.

Explanation:

The reactions given occur under certain reagents, which we are told to pick for each of the reaction synthesis. Conventionally, halogens have the ability to undergo addition reactions with hydrocarbons by breaking down the double or triple bond in them to a single bond, this usually occur by electron donation and electron acceptor.

The attachment shows the reactions and the necessary reagents required for each
