Answer:
d. Firm A will spend $4,000.
Explanation:
Since Firm B cost of Cleanup before it gets the the river is less than the cost of pollution permits, it will choose to clean up its pollution.
However, since Firm A cleanup cost per ton ($100) is greater than the cost of the pollution permit, it will choose to buy permits.
Maximum Allowable Number of Permits=40
Therefore, Firm A will clean up 10 Tons and dump 40 Tons of Waste.
Cost =(10 Tons *$100)+(40 Tons * $75)
=$(1000+3000)
=$4000.
Firm A will spend $4000.
