Ответ:
a. $537.31 per ton
b. $64,477,200,000
Explanation:
a. 5% of 67 million tons will cost $1.8 billion to be reduced.
The implicit cost of a ton therefore is;
= 1,800,000,000 / (5% * 67,000,000)
= 1,800,000,000/ 3,350,000
= $537.31 per ton
b. The amount to be spent to reduce 4 billion tons by 3% is;
= 537.31 * (4,000,000,000 * 3%)
= $64,477,200,000
