"Whether the regulator sells or gives away tradeable emission
permits free of charge, the quantities of emissions produced by
firms are the same."
Assume that there are n identical profit-maximising firms where
profit for each firm is given by π(e) with л'(e) > 0; π"(e) <
0 and e denotes emissions. Individual emissions summed over
all firms gives E which generates environmental damages
D(E). Show that the regulator achieves the optimal level of total
pollution through a tradeable emission permit scheme, where
the permits are distributed according to the following cases:
Case (i) the firm purchases all permits;
Case (ii) the firm receives all permits free; and

Case (iii) the firm purchases a portion of its permits and receives
the remainder free of charge.

We assume that c{(e) 0 for i = 1,2 and for any level of emission e we have c₁'(e) # c₂' (e). Furthermore, assume the two firms make different contributions towards pollution concentration in a nearby river captured by the transfer coefficients ε₁ and 2 such that for any level of emission e we have C₂'(e) # The regulator does not know the resulting C₁'(e) Τι environmental damages. Using an analytical approach explain carefully how the regulator may limit the concentration of pollution using (i) a Pigouvian tax scheme and (ii) uniform emissions standards.

- Bill’s father read that each year a car’s value declines by 10%. He also read that a new car’s value declines by 12% as it is driven off the dealer’s lot.

Then they jump to $750 per year, with an annual increase of $500 per year.Bill’s dad wants to keep his annual cost of car ownership low. The car he prefers cost $30,000 new, and he uses an interest rate of 8%. For this car, the new vehicle warranty is transferrable.(a) If he buys the car new, what is the minimum cost life? What is the minimum EUAC?(b) If he buys the car after it is 2 years old, what is the minimum cost life?

- A mining corporation purchased $120,000 of production machinery and depreciated it using 40% bonus depreciation with the balance using 5-year MACRS depreciation, a 5-year depreciable life, and zero salvage value. The corporation is a profitable one that has a 22% combined incremental tax rate. At the end of 5 years the mining company changed its method of operation and sold the production machinery for $40,000. During the 5 years the machinery was used, it reduced mine operation costs by $32,000 a year before taxes. If the company MARR is 12% after taxes, was the investment in the machinery a satisfactory one? Please show every step with formulas and don't use excel. The answer should be 14.8%, thank you.arrow_forwardAn engineer is working on the layout of a new research and experimentation facility. Two operators will be required. If, however, an additional $100,000 of instrumentation and remote controls were added, the plant could be run by a single operator. The total before-tax cost of each plant operator is projected at $35,000 per year. The instrumentation and controls will be depreciated by means of a modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS). If this corporation (22% combined corporate tax rate) invests in the additional instrumentation and controls. how long will it take for the after-tax benefits to equal the $100,000 cost? In other words, what is the after-tax payback period? Please write out every step and formula, don't use excel. The answer should be 3.08 years, thank you.arrow_forwardThe effective combined tax rate in a firm is 28%. An outlay of $2 million for certain new assets is under consideration.

After this time, they will be used only for stand-by purposes with no future excess of receipts over disbursements. (a) What is the prospective rate of return before income taxes? (b)What is the prospective rate of return after taxes if straight-line depreciation can be used to write off these assets for tax purposes in 9 years? (c) What is the prospective rate of return after taxes if it is assumed that these assets must be written off for tax purposes over the next 20 years, using straight-line depreciation?
