- Four films called Elm, Maple, Oak, and (Shelly, produce wooden chairs. However, they also produce a great deal of garbage (a mixture of glue, varnish, sandpaper, and wood scraps). The first row of Table 12.6 shows the total amount of garbage (in tons) that each film currently produces. The other rows of the table show the cost of reducing garbage produced by the first five tons, the second five tons, and so on. First, calculate the cost of requiring each firm to reduce the weight of its garbage by one-fourth. Now, imagine that the government issues marketable permits for the current level of garbage, but the permits will shrink the weight of allowable garbage for each film by one-fourth. What will be the result of this alternative approach to reducing pollution?arrow_forward1. Create a price ceiling that makes it against the law for landlords to charge more than $1000 per month. 2.
