Consider an ocean fishery. Suppose the total benefit (TB) is equal to 100B – 10B² (in 1,000 dollars), and the total cost (TC) is equal to 10B, where B is hundreds of boats in the fishery (B=1 is 100 boats).

a ) What's the open-access outcome?

b ) What is the net benefit from this fishery under the unregulated, open-access outcome?

c ) To correct this market failure, what should be the optimal tax rate charged per boat?

Consider a fishery characterized by the following total cost (TC) and total revenue (TR) curves as a function of total effort (E): TC = 12E and TR = 32E – E 2 , Differentiating these functions yields the marginal cost (MC) and marginal revenue (MR) curves: MC = 12 and MR = 32 – 2E. a. Draw a graph depicting total costs and total revenues as a function of effort in the fishery. At what effort level are total revenues...
