The diagram below shows the marginal cost of pollution abatement for two firms, Firm X and Firm Y.



FIGURE 17-4

Refer to Figure 17-4. Suppose the government requires each firm to reduce pollution by the same amount, QR. The result will be


◦ fair and just because both firms are facing the same requirements.
◦ economically inefficient because Firm Y is then abating pollution at a higher marginal cost than Firm X.
◦ economically efficient because the maximum amount of pollution will be abated.
◦ economically inefficient because Firm X is not producing as much pollution as Firm Y and therefore should not be faced with the same requirements.
◦ economically efficient because even though their marginal costs of abatement differ, the marginal cost for the last unit of abatement is equal.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
