The graph above shows the potential ways to allocate a nonrenewable resource across two generations with a total supply of 120 million tons. The curve MNB, shows the marginal net benefits in the current generation and MNB₂ shows the marginal net benefits in the second generation after discounting. What area(s) would represent(s) the net increase in total social benefits, considering both generations, as a result of implementing a resource depletion tax to achieve the economically optimal allocation (relative to no regulation)? D+E

Suppose a Farmer has a fixed resource of 80 acres planted in corn. If the farmer does not cultivate the cornfield (clear the weeds) at all, the yeild will be 40 bushels per acre. If he cultivates the land onece, putput may rise to 50 bushels per acre. A second cultivation may increase output to 57 bushels per acres, a third to 61, and a fourth to 63. What will succeeding cultiation do?

D. England coastal community is given by MSB = 40 – 1.5*q, and the marginal cost is MSC = 0.5*q; where q is thousand tons of fish harvested in the current year, and MSB and MSC are measured in million dollars. Assume overfishing will reduce the productivity and the fishery and specifically each thousand tons of fish harvested this year will reduce the present value of future benefits by 4 million dollars, that is the marginal user cost MUC = 4.

Imagine a scenic canyon, visited by many local people as well as tourists from beyondthe local area. Consider a scenario in which a mining company has proposed to the localauthority that it be closed to the public and put into the production of coal. Thinking interms of economics as a way of adjudicating the relative value of one use of the canyon overthe other, what would you need to know in order to make a comparison or assessment?What kinds of quantitative data would inform your decision, and where might they comefrom? What kinds of things might you need to know that are hard to measure? Once youhave listed the kinds of information and data that might be available to inform this decision, do you think it would be sufficient to making this decision, why or why not?
