The daily costs of the processes and the corresponding number of tons of smoke emitted are shown in the table below. Both firms currently use process A, and each emits 4 tons of smoke per day. The government is considering two plans to reduce pollution: requiring both firms to reduce pollution by 25 percent or auctioning pollution permits. Each permit would entitle the owner to emit one ton of smoke per day. Without a permit, no smoke can be emitted.
