Tasmanian abalone fishing boats, each costing $500,000, trawl the waters of Tasmania for abalone. The total dollar value of abalone caught by the boats collectively varies with number of boats (N) and is
Total $ Value (1000’s of $’s) = 1000N − N 2
This gives a marginal collective total value of the catch of
Marginal $ Value (1000’s of $’s) = 1000 − 2N
All boats are identical, so each boat has the same size and value of catch. The revenue for each boat is
Average $ Value (1000’s of $’s)/Boat = 1000 − N
a) What is the socially optimal number of boats?
b) Given that each boat is individually owned, how many boats will actually operate?
c) Explain why the inefficiency in number of boats arises. Using an appropriate diagram, show the associated deadweight loss. Calculate the numerical size of this deadweight loss

show all calculations and do all parts of the question. Externalities II [Warning, this problem is an enhanced version of a negative externality problem. While I break it down into a series of short steps, it still may take a long time to figure out. Budget accordingly. Don’t skimp on your graph. Your picture will hopefully help you understand what is going on.] High levels of automobile traffic in big cities are incredibly costly to society. Time spent idling in...

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
