Factories __________ a lot of pollution. They should try to reduce it.1 pointbuildproduceinduceput

2. Explain how this industry creates pollution and waste problems?

A new paint factory has opened in Cranbourne creating jobs for local residents however it is built on the edge of a park used for recreational activities. The park also has a lake at its centre which attracts native fauna. Affluent from the factory creates a pungent smell and leaches into the ground affecting both flora and fauna in the park and lake. You are a consultant who has been hired by the City of Casey council to provide advise on dealing with the problem. The following data has been collected by you on the costs and benefits of pollution reduction measures. Table 1 Annual tonnes of emissions: 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 Annual Damage from pollution ($): $700000, $535000, $400000, $310000, $230000, $170000, $115000, $96000, $0 Marginal Benefit of pollution reduction measures ($): ? Annual Cost of pollution reduction measures ($): $0, $37000, $87000, $150000, $230000, $360000, $560000, $765000, $998000 Marginal Cost of pollution reduction measures ($): ? a) Use the data in Table 1 to calculate marginal benefits and marginal costs of pollution reduction measures. b) A council member is suggesting closing the factory down to reduce emissions to 0. Is this the correct course of action? Why or why not? c) What pollution control measures would you recommend (i.e. how many tonnes should be allowed to affect the park and lake?).
