Answer:
is not efficient because firms can have different costs of reducing pollution.
Explanation:
Economic efficiency is the way a business maximises the use of factors of production (land, labor, capital) to produce output at a reduced cost. Efficiency aims to improve output and reduce cost to the barest minimum.
In this instance to individual cost required to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions is not considered by the government.
Since reduction of sulfur dioxide is equal among firms, some smaller ones may incur cost that will financially impair them and put them out of business.
While bigger firms will easily bear the cost.
To find simple interest:
Time = Interest/(Principle)(Rate)
Interest is the amount of interest paid
Principle is the amount you lent or borrow
Rate is the percentage of principle charged as interest each year
Time is the years of the loan
P=Principle amount of $1,500
I=Interest amount of $1,200 (Take the new amount of $2,700 and subtract from the principle that is $1,500 which gives you $1,200)
r= as a decimal .15 (15%/100)
t=unknown
T=I/PR
T=1,200/(1,500)(.15)
T=1,200/225
T=5.3 years
It would take Lance roughly 5.3 years
