The diagram below shows the marginal cost of abatement of greenhouse-gas emissions (GHGs) for each of two firms, A, and B.



FIGURE 17-7

Refer to Figure 17-7. Suppose the government objective is to abate a total of 40 tonnes of GHG emissions between the two firms. The lowest-cost approach is to impose an emissions tax of $7.50 per tonne emitted. Why is this the lowest-cost approach?


◦ Because the MC curves for the two firms are parallel.
◦ Because at any other level of emissions tax, the total abatement costs would be higher.
◦ Because direct controls are always lower-cost than an emissions tax.
◦ Because the average costs of emissions are equalized across the two firms.
◦ Because marginal abatement costs are equalized across the two firms.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
