2. The data in the following table are the costs of reducing emissions from three different plants. Currently there is no regulation and maximum dumping occurs. Marginal cost/ton Plant А B с Emissions (tons per week) 5 4 3 2 1 0 0 5 10 15 20 25 0 10 20 30 40 50 0 20 40 60 80 100 a. What is the cost of reducing pollution by nine tons per week if everybody chips by cutting three tons each? (show your work) b. What principle would you use to improve this cost? What would the same cleanup cost if you employed this principle? (Ignore any administrative costs?) d. How many tons of pollution would each plant give up under the new plan? e. Practically speaking, how might you make such a principle work?
