Question 1 The market inverse) supply and demand functions for fish are given by: pD = 50 - Q pS = 4+20$ (a) Find the free market equilibrium quantity and price of fish. Excessive fishing depletes the stock of fish in rivers and lakes, imposing an external cost on people who enjoy recreational fishing. This external cost is larger when the quantity of commercial fishing is greater. Assume that: EC EQ (b) Write down the equation for the Social Marginal Cost in this market, as a function of Q. (c) Find the socially optimal quantity of fish that should be produced (QB). (d) What size of a unit tax on (commercially-harvested) fish would make QB the equilibrium quantity?
