Suppose that a forest contains a population of elk. Individual hunters living nearby can decide whether or not to hunt the elk on a given day. The variable cost of hunting is $30 per day and elk meat sells for $1 a pound.

Q) Imagine any number of identical boats can fish along the North Carolina coast. The value of fishing (V) per boat as a function of the number of boats (N) is: V = 50 − 5N. The marginal value (MV) to the fishery of an additional boat is: MV = 50 − 10N. For each boat, the costs of fishing (C) are $10. If the fishery were managed in a way that only the socially efficient # of boats are allowed to enter the fishery, what would be the net value (i.e., total value minus total costs) of the fishery? Explain it early. Not solve in excel works

Becky and Sarah are sisters who share a room. Their room can easily get messy, and their parents are always telling them to tidy it. Here are the costs and benefits to both Becky and Sarah, of taking the time to clean their room: If both Becky and Sarah clean, they each spends two hours and get a clean room. If Becky decides not to clean and Sarah does all the cleaning, then Sarah spends 10 hours cleaning (Becky spends 0) but Sarah is exhausted. The same would occur for Becky if Sarah decided not to clean—Becky spends 10 hours and becomes exhausted. If both girls decide not to clean, they both have a dirty room. a. What is the best outcome for Becky and Sarah? What is the worst outcome? (It would help you to construct a prisoner’s dilemma table.) b. Unfortunately, we know that the optimal outcome will most likely not happen, and that the sisters probably will choose the worst one instead.

MAC = 50 - 5E. The government offers a $30 per-unit subsidy for abatement. In principle, the firm could ignore the subsidy and continue to emit as many emissions as it was in the absence of government intervention, but there is money to be made from cutting back its emissions. Compared to ignoring the subsidy, how much money could a cost-minimizing firm save or make by cutting back its emissions?
Kim and Abby are sisters who share a room. Their room can easily get messy, and their parents are always telling them to clean it up. Here are the costs and benefits to both Kim and Abby, of taking time to clean their room: If both Kim and Abby clean, they each spend two hours and get a clean room. If Kim decides not to clean and Abby does all the cleaning, then Abby spends 10 hours cleaning (Kim spends 0) but Abby is exhausted. The same would occur for Kim if Abby decided not to clean - Kim spends 10 hours and becomes exhausted. If both girls decide not to clean, they both have a dirty room. a. What is the best outcome for Kim and Abby? What is the worst outcome? (It may help you to construct a prisoner's dilemma table) b.
