The way economists would probably explain the wastage of
this clam resource is by saying that clams are free goods and are therefore
subject to the tragedy of the commons effect. The tragedy of the commons effect
is a theory in economics, postulated by the Victorian economist William Forster
Lloyd.
The tragedy of the commons effect describes a condition
within a shared-resource system where each user act freely according to their
own self-interest, but their collective actions ends in the depletion or spoilage
of that resource, thus having a negative impact on the common good of all users.
In this case, commons is taken to refer to the clam resources.

Answer:
(a) $40
(b) $24,000
(c) 40%
Explanation:
Given that,
Selling price = $100 per unit
Variable costs = $60 per unit
Fixed costs = $2,500 per month
Contribution margin per unit:
= Selling price - Variable costs
= $100 per unit - $60 per unit
= $40
Total Contribution margin:
= Contribution margin per unit × No. of units sold
= $40 × 600 units
= $24,000
Contribution margin ratio:
= (Selling price - Variable costs) ÷ Selling price
= ($100 per unit - $60 per unit) ÷ $100 per unit
= 0.4 or 40 %
