QUESTION 7To ensure correct grading:Do NOT include dollar signs or units, as I have already provided them for you in the problem.Suppose you want to remove an aquatic species that was introduced to a lake and is now taking over. Usethe information below to find the answer.MB=314-3.2QMC=50+3.4QTB=314Q-1.602TC=50Q+17Q2a. The optimal number of the species to remove is(Hint: Remember that the optimal point can be found where MB-MC. Set MB=MC and solve for Q.)b. Total costs and benefits (or vice versa - order does not matter for answer) to remove that quantity of theand $species are $(Hint Plug your answer in from part (a) into the TB and TC equations and solve.)

Optimal level is achieved where MSB=MSC

Assume the relationship between the growth of a fish population and the population size can be represented as g= 8S – 0.2S2, where g is the growth in tons and S is the size of the population (in thousands of tons) a. Given a price of $100 a ton of fish, what is the marginal benefit of smaller population sizes? b. Estimate the population size that is compatible with the maximum sustainable yield. What would be the size of the annual catch if the population were to be sustained at this level? c. If the marginal cost of additional catches (represented in terms of the population size) is MC= 3(120-S), what is the population size that is compatible with the efficient sustainable yield? d. Is there a difference between the maximum sustainable yield you calculated in part (b) and the efficient sustainable yield in part (c)? Why or why not? Explain briefly (in 1 paragraph or less)
QUESTION 8 Suppose the Queensland Government is considering limiting the number of visitors to the Great BarrierReef. In CBA, the total value of the Great Barrier Reef is estimated to be 200 million dollars while the use- value isestimated to be 80 million dollars. This implies the non - use value of it must be_______million dollars, after limiting thenumber of visitors, its use -value will______(increase, decrease or remain unchanged). Provide your answer to thenearest million and do not include the S sign in your answer.
A local college is deciding whether to conduct a campus beautification initiative that would involve various projects, such as planting trees and remodeling buildings, to make the campus more aesthetically pleasing. For the students of the college, the visual appearance of the campus isnonrival andnonexcludable . Thus, the visual appearance would be classified as a public good. Suppose the college administrators estimate that the beautification initiative will cost $61,110. To decide whether the initiative should be undertaken, administrators conduct a survey of the college's 2,240 students, asking each of them their willingness to pay for the beautification project. The average willingness to pay, as revealed by the survey, is $20. The benefit of the beautification initiative, as suggested by the survey, is . Because the estimated benefit is than the cost, the college administrators undertake the beautification initiative. The calculation of the benefit of…
A bag contains 12 yellow balls of 400 grams each and 18 blue balls of 700 grams each. Some yellow and some blue balls are taken from this bag and thrown into a second empty bag. At the end of this process; The average of the weights of the balls in the first bag was 500 grams, and the average of the weights of the balls in the second bag was 600 grams. What is the number of blue balls thrown into the second bag? A) 16 B) 14 C) 12 D) 10 E) 8

Show all work. Draw graphs to explain your answers. The correct answers will include areas on the graph and dollar values. Suppose a chemical factory discharges waste products into a river resulting in significant damages to a local fishery. The marginal damage to the fishery (measured in terms of the value of lost fish stocks) is represented by the equation:MDC = 10E The chemical factory can reduce its effluent flows by treating its waste products. Its marginal abatement cost (MAC) function is given by the equation: MAC = 1,200 - 5E. What level of emissions will occur if the chemical factory is not regulated? What would the total abatement costs for the chemical factory be if emissions are controlled and reduced to zero? If no liability laws are in place, what damages will the chemical factory inflict on the fishery? (Hint: find TDC) If the government puts in place a liability law that requires the chemical factory to compensate the fishery for the damages it causes,…
Suppose the aggregate MAC function is 100 - 20W and aggregate MD = 5W for a polluting industry. What would the polluting industry's total abatement costs equal if it faced an emissions tax rate equal to 20 dollars per unit emitted? A. 60 B. 20 C. 10 D. 0
Burlington Motor Carriers, a trucking company, is considering the installation of a two-way mobile satellite messaging service on its 2,000 trucks. From tests done last year on 120 trucks, the company found that satellite messaging could cut 60% of its $5 million bill for long-distance communications with truck drivers. More importantly, the drivers who used this system reduced the number of "deadhead" miles-those driven without paying loads-by 0.5%. Applying that improvement to all 230 million miles covered by the Burlington fleet each year would produce an extra $1.25 million in savings. Equipping all 2,000 trucks with the satellite hookup will require an investment of $8 million and the construction of a message-relaying system costing $2 million. The equipment and onboard devices will have a service life of eight years and negligible salvage value; they will be depreciated under the five-year MACRS class. Burlington's marginal tax rate is about 38%, and its required minimum…
The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency investigates how emissions of an environmentally hazardous substance from an industrial sector should be regulated, either through a tax on the emissions or through a quantitative regulation (limit value). As this is a new substance (new substance), knowledge of the level of environmental damage and the costs of reducing emissions is uncertain. In more technical terms: the regulatory authorities do not have complete information on the positions on either the dD / dM curve (marginal damages) or the MAC curve (marginal abatement costs). a) Explain and show graphically whether - and if so how - the uncertainty about the position of the MAC curve affects the choice between regulating emissions with a tax or limit value from a socio-economic efficiency perspective. b) Explain and show graphically whether - and if so how - the uncertainty about the position of the dD / dM curve affects the choice between regulating emissions with a tax or limit…
