Answer to Question 1

When the total revenue is at its maximum, the marginal revenue equals 0 and the elasticity of demand equals 1.

Answer to Question 2

It is likely to lead to a race to fish as many of the fisherman know that they much catch as much fish as they can during the shorter season. The price of the crab is also likely to rise as the cost of catching them has gone up. In fact fishermen may employ more workers to get the job done and may even have to fish in inhospitable conditions to catch the crab. This may require that they pay the fishermen more money. This is not likely to result in greater protection of the Atlantic Red Crab.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
