Assume that we have a fixed supply of a depletable resource to allocate between two periods. The inverse demand function for the depletable resource is the same in each of the two periods, given as P = 8 – 0.4q, and the marginal cost of supplying it is $2. If 30 units are to be allocated between two periods, in a dynamic efficient allocation, how much would be allocated to the second period when the discount rate is zero?

In which case would static efficiency be the proper criterion for choosing efficient allocation of resources?
