There is a shrimp species whose Marginal Growth Function is MG(S) = 1 - 2S/K. Where S is the stock level and K the carrying capacity. Assume that K = 500, and the discount rate is 4%. Use the golden rule of growth to find: the optimal (profit maximizing) level of stock for this shrimp species the stock level that gives maximum sustainable yield.

A competitive company will maximize profits or minimize losses in the short term by generating production in which MR = P = MC, given that the price exceeds the minimum variable average cost. True or false
Suppose the discount rate is 8%, the expected growth rate of the firms profit is 5%, and the firm is expected to continue forever. If the current profit is $40,000, what is the value of the firm?
You own a farm that requires spending of $93,318 to generate $275,393 per year. You discover that your farm is sitting on top of an oil-field that could generate $150,186 per year. Your economic profit of continuing to farm on the land is: (your answer must be rounded off to the nearest dollars, i.e., no decimal places

If the marginal personal tax rate imposed on interest income paid to bondholders were to increase, holding the corporate tax rate and the personal tax rate on payments to equity (e.g., taxes on dividends), what is the impact on the marginal benefit of debt to the corporation? How might this effect the optimal amount of debt the firm should have in its capital structure?

Under which circumstances would a firm generally be able to cut production and increase profits at the margin? MR is less than MC at the currently planned scale of production MR is geater than MC at the currently planned scale of production none of the other answer choices are correct MR is equal to MC at the currently planned scale of production
Note : Please (Only do part 3) Part 1: Some Once-lers live in a wonderful land filled with beautiful truffula trees. They each independently chop down the truffula trees to make and sell thneeds. The total value of thneeds sold is f(x) = 150x − 5x2, where x is the number of truffula trees chopped down. If it costs 20 dollars to chop down a truffula tree, how many trees will the members of the Once-ler family collectively chop down? a. 13 b. 28 c. 24 d. 15 e. 14 Part 2: (continued from previous question) The Lorax appears from a truffula stump and demands that the Once-lers act more responsibly. He demands that they chop down the socially optimal number of truffula trees. How many trees would be chopped down in the social optimum? a. 13 b. 16 c. 15 d. 14 e. 12 Part 3: (Continued from above) Because the Once-lers are motivated by individual profit and won’t simply do what the Lorax says, he instead imposes a fine for every tree that the Once-lers chop down. How big must this fine be…
