First, the average operating cost of vehicles is $0.52 per mile. Second, the opportunity cost to adults of travel time is 40 percent of their wage rate; it is zero for children. Fourth, adult visitors have the average county wage rate of $10 per hour.

b. (6 points)Calculate the value of the national marine park for each zone and the overall value for the amenity (the annual welfare loss to tourists when the national park is closed).
