In connection with her business, Denise often travels from her business location to the homes and offices of her clients, where she provides advice and expertise on interior design. During 2019, her written auto log shows that she drove her vehicle (a 2018 Mitsubishi Mirage that she purchased and put in service on May 13, 2017) 22,400 miles for business purposes, 3,800 miles for commuting, and 1,800 miles for personal purposes. Denise did not keep track of all her specific expenditures for the car and she wishes to deduct her auto expenses using the standard mileage rate for 2019. She has written evidence to support her mileage. The business car was available for use during off-duty hours, but she and her spouse also have another vehicle available for personal use.
Also in connection with her business, Denise purchased a Mac computer and HP laser color printer. The computer was purchased for $2,200 on November 10, 2019. The printer was purchased for $5,800 on September 30, 2019. Denise used both the computer and printer for business purposes at her office 85 percent of the time, and personal purposes 15 percent of the time, for which she has written evidence. Denise would like to deduct the maximum allowable amount on each of these assets.

The town of Cleanville lies next to a lake, which the residents of the town use for fishing, boating, and other recreational activities. Last year, two firms, Filth Inc. and Sludge Inc., built factories on the other side of the lake and have been dumping trash into it. Although some of the trash will dissipate naturally, the amount of trash the two firms emit is too much for the lake to handle. Right now, each firm dumps 40 pounds of trash in the lake each year (total of 80 pounds). Environmental scientists in Cleanville estimate that the lake can handle only 30 pounds of trash per year. The table below reports the marginal costs to the two firms of reducing trash.
| Pounds reduced | Filth Inc.’s marginal costs (in $1,000s) | Sludge Inc.’s marginal costs (in $1,000s) |
| 5 | 2 | 7 |
| 10 | 4 | 10 |
| 15 | 6 | 13 |
| 20 | 8 | 16 |
| 25 | 10 | 19 |
| 30 | 12 | 22 |
| 35 | 14 | 25 |
| 40 | 16 | 28 |
The marginal cost numbers tell us how much it would cost to reduce the marginal five pounds of trash. Therefore, Filth Inc.'s marginal cost of reducing the first 5 pounds is $2,000 and the next 5 pounds $4,000. Therefore, the total cost to reduce 10 pounds is $6,000.
Suppose the city council agrees with the scientists' estimates and orders each firm to reduce trash by 25 pounds. The total cost to reduce this amount of trash is $
.
Suppose that after taking your economics course you visit Cleanville and hear about the city council's solution to reducing the trash. You think to yourself, “Haven’t these people learned some basic economics and the Coase theorem?" You gather some data, crunch some numbers, and go to the next city council meeting. You tell them that they should give each firm three permits. Each permit allows the firm to emit 5 pounds per year. Each firm can therefore emit 15 pounds per year, which means they would have to reduce the amount of trash they emit by 25 pounds.
One of the council members raises his hand and asks, "But that's what our proposal does. How is yours any different?"
You answer, "What makes my proposal different is that we allow the firms to buy or sell these permits." The city council is amazed at your insight and comments how much you learned in your econ class. They realize that after your proposal has been put into place, the total cost of getting rid of the 50 pounds of trash will fall to $
, the lowest total cost possible.
Let’s see how the drop in total costs will come about. Filth Inc. and Sludge Inc. each start with three permits. If a firm does not buy a permit or sell one of its permits, it would need to reduce trash by 25 pounds. If it sells a permit, it would have to get rid of more trash, and if it buys a permit, it would have to get rid of less.
| Pounds reduced | Filth Inc.’s marginal costs (in $1,000s) | Sludge Inc.’s marginal costs (in $1,000s) |
| 5 | 2 | 7 |
| 10 | 4 | 10 |
| 15 | 6 | 13 |
| 20 | 8 | 16 |
| 25 | 10 | 19 |
| 30 | 12 | 22 |
| 35 | 14 | 25 |
| 40 | 16 | 28 |
Hector Sludge, the owner of Sludge Inc., calls Jordan Filth and tells her he has an offer she can't refuse (a little trash humor): "I will buy one of your permits for $14,000."

The graph below shows a particular firm's marginal revenue (MR), marginal cost (MC), and average total cost (ATC) curves, where the market is competitive. Suppose that a new management team is brought in and that this team is initially less concerned about maximizing profits than it is simply about making a profit. What range of production quantities will allow the firm to operate while earning a profit?
Give your answer by dragging the Qmin to Qmax lines into their correct positions. The output will need to lie somewhere betwen those limits.
