Define the term cost-reduction project?
Someday, if you want to be an economist or to study more about economic analysis, what platform you will implement to sustain the development of cost estimating fundamentals?
The cost of controlling carbon dioxide emissions [C(E)] at a firm goes up rapidly as the amount
of emissions (E) increase. Let's assume the relationship is defined by the function below.
C(E)= 5000+ 40E +2E² E20
where E is measured in tonnes per year and C is measured in dollars per year.
a) Determine the Marginal Cost function for controlling carbon dioxide emissions and find
the marginal cost at 50 tonnes of emissions:
b) Determine the Average Cost Function for controlling carbon dioxide emissions and find
the tonnes of emissions at minimum average cost.
c) The government is charging a tax of $270 for every tonne of carbon dioxide emitted. At,
50 tonnes of emissions, is it profitable for the firm to control emissions on its own or pay
the carbon tax?
