Suppose that a government agency is trying to decide between two pollution reduction policy options. Under the permit option, 10

0 pollution permits would be sold, each allowing emission of one unit of pollution. Firms would be forced to shut down if they produced any units of pollution for which they did not hold a permit. Under the pollution tax option, firms would be taxed $250 for each unit of pollution emitted. The regulated firms all currently pollute and face varying costs of pollution reduction, though all face increasing marginal costs of pollution reduction. Suppose the permit policy is adopted.
Required:
1. A firm will be willing to pay the tax if $250 is less than or equal to __________.Select one:a. the cost of reducing its existing pollution by one unit.b. its marginal revenue.c. its average total cost of production.d. the average cost of eliminating one unit of pollution.

Answer:

a. the cost of reducing it's existing pollution by one unit.

Explanation:

Marginal cost refers to the addition to total cost when one more unit of output is produced. Marginal cost in the given case would refer to the additional cost incurred for reducing the current pollution level by one unit.

In the given case, a firm is charged $250 for each unit of pollution emitted under the pollution tax option.

It is also stated that all the firms experience increasing marginal costs of pollution reduction.

This means, as additional units of pollution are reduced, the additional costs would go on increasing.

If a firm finds that, reducing 1 unit of pollution from the current level costs it equal or more than $250, it will opt to pay $250 since, for each subsequent unit of pollution reduction, the additional costs would rise.

Why would a large publically traded corporation likely prefer issuing bonds as a way to raise new money as opposed to issuing mo
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

B. more shares will dilute the existing value of the stock, causing its market price to fall

Explanation:

A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (creditor or investor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time.

Generally, the bond issuer is expected to return the principal at maturity with an agreed upon interest to the bondholder, which is payable at fixed intervals.

The reason a large publicly traded corporation would likely prefer issuing bonds as a way to raise new money as opposed to issuing more shares is because more shares will dilute the existing value of the stock, causing its market price to fall and may negatively affect by reducing the value and proportional ownership of the investor's shares in the corporation.

Mila [183]

Answer:

cross price elasticity of demand = 1.8

Explanation:

cross price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity of X / % change in price of Y

cross price elasticity of demand = 9% / 5% = 1.8

When the cross price elasticity of demand is positive, it means that the products are substitutes. If the cross price elasticity is negative, then the products are complements.
