If Firm 1 and Firm 2 Each Face an Marginal

question 19

True/False

If firm 1 and firm 2 each face an marginal abatement cost of MAC₁ = 5A₁ and MAC₂ = 3A₂, respectively, and if the combined abatement level must be 16 units, then firm 1 must abate 6 units and firm 2 must abate 10 units in order to achieve the cost-effective solution.
