1 answer:
Answer:
b. increase, and producer surplus in the industry will increase
Explanation:
A normal good is a good whose demand increases as income increases.
If grass seed is a normal good, when income rises, demand increases and the demand curve shifts to the right. This would lead to an increase of demand over supply which would lead to a rise in price.
The rise in price increases producers surplus.
Producers surplus is the least price a producer is willing to sell a product and the actual price the product is sold. If price rises, producer surplus increases.

Answer:
<u>February.</u>
Desired ending inventory = 10% of March Cost of goods(COGS):
= 10% * 35,000
= $3,500
Inventory needed = COGS + ending inventory
= 32,000 + 3,500
= $35,500
Beginning inventory = January ending inventory = $3,200
Required Purchases = Inventory needed - Beginning inventory
= 35,500 - 3,200
= $32,300
<u>March</u>
Desired ending inventory = 10% of April COGS:
= 10% * 40,000
= $4,000
Inventory needed:
= 35,000 + 4,000
= $39,000
Beginning inventory = February ending inventory = $3,500
Required purchases:
= 39,000 - 3,500
= $35,500
