In Almond country, farmers are experimenting with new genetically modified 'franken-bees' that are highly effectively at pollinating their nut trees. However, the bees also produce a corrosive form of honey that can damage the paint on cars. Biologists and transportation experts at UC Davis have estimated that each franken-bee hive creates an additional $50 worth of damage to local vehicles. Currently 200 franken-bee hives have been introduced into Almond country. Local motorists have demanded action to curb the franken-bee blight. They have demanded that farmers begin to remove them from the environment. The marginal cost of abatement is uncertain. Anti-bee groups claim costs will be low and estimate it will follow the function MC = -100+ QA, where Q₁ is the amount of abatement. Local farming groups argue that abatement will be much more costly than that and claim abatement costs will be MC = Q. You lead the agency responsible for regulating the bees.

However, they also produce a great deal of garbage (a mixture of glue, varnish, sandpaper, and wood scraps). The first row of Table shows the total amount of garbage (in tons) that each firm 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 firm by one-fourth. What will be the result of this alternative approach to reducing pollution?arrow_forward
