Two firms, A and B, each currently emit 100 tons of chemicals into the air. The government has decided to reduce the pollution and from now on will require a pollution permit for each ton of pollution emitted into the air. The government gives each firm 40 pollution permits, which it can either use or sell to the other firm. It costs Firm A $200 for each ton of pollution that it eliminates before it is emitted into the air, and it costs Firm B $100 for each ton of pollution that it eliminates before it is emitted into the air. After the two firms buy or sell pollution permits from each other, we would expect that Firm A will emit.
A. 50 fewer tons of pollution into the air, and Firm B will emit 50 fewer tons of pollution into the air.
B. 20 fewer tons of pollution into the air, and Firm B will emit 100 fewer tons of pollution into the air.
C. 100 fewer tons of pollution into the air, and Firm B will emit 20 fewer tons of pollution into the air.
D. 20 more tons of pollution into the air, and Firm B will emit 100 fewer tons of pollution into the air.

T-comm makes a variety of products. it is organized in two divisions, north and south. the managers for each division are paid, in part, based on the financial performance of their divisions. the south division normally sells to outside customers but, on occasion, also sells to the north division. when it does, corporate policy states that the price must be cost plus 20 percent to ensure a "fair" return to the selling division. south received an order from north for 300 units. south's planned output for the year had been 1,200 units before north's order. south's capacity is 1,500 units per year. the costs for producing those 1,200 units follow
