Suppose that two firms, X and Y, face the following abatementcosts: MAC X =1.2 A X ,MAC Y = 0.3 A Y TAC X =

Suppose that two firms, X and Y, face the following abatementcosts:
MACX =1.2AX,                        MACY
= 0.3AY
TACX = 0.6AX2
                              TACY
= 0.15AY2
Further assume that the combined abatement standard is 40 units forboth firms.
Based on the model given, the cost-effective solution would ariseif

each firm abates 20 units of pollution

firm X abates 8 units, and firm Y abates 32 units

firm Y does all the abating because its MAC islower

firm X abates 24 units, and firm Y abates 16 units
