Problem 23 Easy Difficulty

As the extent of environmental protection expands, would you expect marginal costs of environmental
protection to rise or fall? Why or why not?

Answer

When there is too much pollution then to clear the initial level of pollution, the cost incurred is
needed to be less but as the level of environment protection increases, the level of cleaning up
will also rise and then additional cleanup will now need much more amount of money to do same
benefit as before. So, marginal cost of environmental protection increases as level of
environmental protection increases.

question 23. As the extensive environmental protection expands, what'd you expect? Marginal cost of environmental protections arise or four. Why a line? This is my eyes, guys. As environmental protection increases cheaper and easier ways of futurism, pollution will decrease and more costly natives off reducing pollution will be used. This will need to a decrease. Sorry. Personal deeds will increase in marginal and the decrease in marginal benefit because now more expensive mated of reducing pollution I used. Thank you guys. I hope that this video was helpful. Bye.
