They each own a boat that is suitable for fishing but does not have any resale value. Fish are worth$5 per pound, and the marginal cost of operating the boat is $500 per month. They all fish a river next tothe village. According to the following schedule, they have determined that when there are more of themout on the river fishing, they each catch fewer fish per month.Boats Fish Caught perBoat (pounds)2001901754155130How many fishermen will choose to operate their boats?fourfivethreetwoone

Suppose that the supply curve for generating electricity for a coal power plant is given by P = 5000 + 1/2 * Q. Burning coal to operate the power plant produces poisonous sulfur dioxide gas, which imposes a $6000 cost for every gigawatt-hour of electricity produced on residents of the town near the plant. Demand for the electricity generated by the plant is given by 17000 - Q. What is the marginal benefit to society (MBS) of coal powered electricity?

Lane and Riley are the only two residents in a neighborhood, and they share the same driveway. They would like to have the driveway paved. The value of the paved driveway is $1,500 to Lane and $900 to Riley. Regardless of who pays for the paving both people will benefit from it. If the cost of paving the driveway is $2,000 and Lane proposes that they each pay 50 percent of this cost, then Riley ______ agree to Lane’s proposal because ______. A. will; repaving the driveway would increase total economic surplus B. will not; repaving the driveway would lower total economic surplus C. will; if they split the cost, then Riley’s economic surplus would increase D. will not; if they split the cost, then Riley’s economic surplus would decrease
Consider 3 individuals in a small town: Alice, Bianca, and Claire. There is an NGO who can provide an art museum for their town with the help of local contributions. The higher the contributions, the larger the art collection of the museum. Their respective direct marginal benefits from N works of art are: MBA=7-N, MBB=7-½N, MBC=23-½N2, and their respective marginal costs are: MCA=2, MCB=3, MBC=5. Find each person’s optimal number of art works. Who will contribute and how many works of art will be provided?

Consider a large tract of land that is used for grazing sheep. Now consider two differentproperty ownership regimes: common property ownership, in which all shepherds haveunrestricted access to the land, and private property ownership, in which there is a singlelandowner who hires shepherds up until the point where their wage is equal to the marginalproduct of their labor. Show graphically how common property resource ownership can lead toovergrazing (too many shepherds using the same open-access rangeland) in the absence ofinstitutional constraints that would ensure an efficient level of resource usage. Contrast this withprivate property ownership. On your graph, label the axes, the average and marginal products oflabor, the wage, scarcity rents, the efficient number of shepherds, and the number that would beexpected under common property ownership. Explain the source of the inefficiency. Wouldprivatization be equitable? Would it be possible to achieve an efficient resource…
A food manufacturer is trying to maximize profit by selling wheat-based cereal (C) and wheat bread(B) with raw wheat (W). The production functions are: Cereal: C = 30WC – 1.5WC2 Bread: B = 63WB – 2WB2 Constraint: WC + WB = 9,820 Profit is $1.00 per box of cereal and $0.50 per pack of wheat bread. There are 9,820 units of raw wheat available. How much wheat should go to the cereal (WC)? Enter as a value. ROUND TO THE NEAREST WHOLE NUMBER.
