There are two electric utilities in the United States; together, the utilities emit a total of 1000
tons of mercury annually. The country wants to reduce mercury emissions by 50%, so it has
decided to implement an acid-rain control program. Source A is an old, established company
with ancient equipment. Source B is a newer company with better machinery. Their MAC curves
(as functions of their emission levels) are: MACA(EA)=4000.5EAMACB(EB)=3000.5EB Use a
two-sided graph approach to find the tax that would result in desired emissions goal of 50%
reduction at the minimum total cost. Calculate the level of this tax.
