Two firms can reduce emissions of a pollutant at the following marginal costs: MC1 = $24q1 MC2 = $12q2 where q1 and q2 are, respectively, tons of emissions reduced by the first and second firms. Total pollution-control cost functions for the two firms are: TC1 = $12 + $12(q1)2 TC2 = $10 + $6(q2)2 Assume that with no control at all, each firm would be emitting 10 tons of emissions (for aggregate emissions of 20 tons), and assume that there...
