Assume that there are two electric power plants (firm 1 and firm 2) emitting sulfur dioxide, an air pollutant. They can reduce emissions at the following total costs, where q1 is tons of emissions abatement by firm 1, and q2 is tons of abatement by firm 2:TC1= 6q21TC2= 2q22Assume that unregulated emissions are 40 tons for each firm, for a total of 80 tons. a. An environmental regulator must reduce total emissions of sulfur dioxide by 20 tons. Compute the cost-effective allocation of control responsibility; how many tons of emissions abatement must each firm achieve in order to minimize the total abatement costs?b. If the regulator chooses to meet her 20-ton reduction objective with an emissions tax, what per-unit charge should be imposed? How much government revenue will the tax system generate, if the tax is levied on all units of pollution?c. Please find the market (aggregate) marginal abatement cost function. Let the marginal benefit function for sulfur dioxide pollution abatement be: MB = 35-0.5Qd. What is the efficient level of pollution control (call it Q*)? Is the tax you calculated in part (b) just right, too low, or too high to induce the efficient level of abatement? What emission tax would achieve the efficient level of control
