There are two factories in a small town. Both of them emit carbon dioxide into the air. Factory 1 currently emits 120 tons per month, whereas factory 2 currently emits 160 tons per month. The technology of each factory is different, so their costs of reducing emissions are different as well. The tables below show the costs of reducing emissions in increments of 20 tons per month for each factory: Factory 1 Total cost of reducing emissions by 20 tons/month...
