The above figure shows the marginal benefit from pollution for two firms. If both firms receive a marketable permit to pollute 25 units of pollution each, how much will each firm pollute and how much will a permit for one unit of pollution be worth?

Firm B will sell permits to firm A until the marginal benefits are the same for both firms. Firm A will generate 37 tons of pollution and firm B will generate 13 tons of pollution. The market value of a permit will be $5.
