Long Answer 2 The National Park Service (NPS) wants to reduce the population of invasive brown trout in Arizona’s Lees Ferry Fishery by 5,000 fish each year to keep the population under control. NPS has historically managed invasive fish populations through electrofishing, but wonders if paying recreational fishers a bounty to harvest these fish might be more cost-effective. NPS hires you to identify their least-cost strategy for meeting their objective.NPS estimates the marginal cost of electrofishing to be MC_E = 60,000+1,000q and the marginal cost of a bounty program to be MC_B = 35,000 + 7,000q  (q is 1,000s of brown trout removed). You can fill out the table below on your scratch paper if it is helpful to you. q MC_E MC_B 1 2 3 4 5

Which of the following correctly specifies the present value of net benefits for years 0-5 at a discount rate of 7%?

Which of the following represents the total cost of Gill’s least-cost strategy?

Scenario 4 Gill wants to beautify his property. One way he will accomplish this is by increasing the clarity of his pond. Gill measures clarity using secchi depth (SD), where larger SD means clearer water. Gill wants to increase SD by 7 meters using some combination of the following 3 tools:Increase pond aeration (a)Add aquatic plants that starve algae (p)Dredge the pond (d) Suppose the marginal cost curves for the above 3 tools can be represented as

Rita decides to pay for the streaming service subscription. This decision implies that Rita’s discount rate is: 

Scenario 2 Harvey is performing a benefit-cost analysis for the National Park Service (NPS). NPS is considering a one-time, intensive maintenance sweep for their five most popular sites. This project would have a high up-front cost, but—once completed—would generate annual benefits in the form of increased entrance fee revenues (driven by increased demand for these sites) for the next 10 years.

Harvey must discount all benefits from this project because they _____________________________
