Assume that the following benefit and cost equations have been estimated for the abatement of an industrial
Question:
Assume that the following benefit and cost equations have been estimated for the abatement of an industrial solvent:
MSB = 15 ‒ 0.2A
MSC = 7 + 0.3A
where A is the percentage of abatement, and the dollar values are in millions.
Now suppose that rulings under the Clean Water Act call for an abatement standard of 25 percent. Assess the efficiency implications of this standard.
