◦ Firm B has lower costs of pollution abatement than Firm A.
◦ its total savings from abating less (areas 1 + 2 + 3) exceed the cost of buying the permits (areas 2 + 3).
◦ its total cost of abating less (areas 1 + 2 + 3) exceeds the cost of buying the permits (areas 2 + 3).
◦ its total savings from abating less (areas 1 + 2 + 3) exceed the total costs of Firm A abating more (area 6).
