Answer:

1. $200

2. $255

3. $455

Explanation:

Producer surplus is the difference between the least price a producer is willing to sell his product and the price of the good.

Producer surplus = price - least price of the product

 $400 - $350 = $50

$50 × 4 = $200

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.

Consumer surplus = highest amount a consumer would be willing to pay - price

Consumer surplus for me =  $435 -  $400 = $35

Consumer surplus for the first friend =  $400 -  $400 = 0

Consumer surplus for the second friend =  $560 - $400 = $160

Consumer surplus for the third friend = $460 - $400 = $60

Total surplus = consumer surplus + producer surplus

Total consumer surplus = $60 + $160 + 0 + $35 = $255

Total surplus = $255 + $200 = $455

svp [43]
'Fair' is really subjective, anyone will have their own opionion.

But i think the best way to define fair is if the tax structure give the same amount of weight throughout all economic classes

If i can replace the federal income tax structure, i would just give a straight percentage of amount to all economic classes, without anyway to cut with 'tax deductible tricks', like 20 % of annual income to all classes of economy. I

How can you lower rish when it comes to investing?
user100 [1]

We have taken risk management seriously since our early days as asset managers. Rather than seeing risk as something on the side or something on which we must focus for reasons of formality, we have long embedded risk management into our core investment process.

With the right risk framework in place, not only can portfolios experience better downside protection, but there can also be more potential for investors to see higher returns and diversify more optimally. In today's investment environment, it can be difficult to distinguish among markets and identify which risks are pertinent to your portfolios.

True or false: revenue is recorded when services are performed, whereas deferred revenue is recorded when cash is received from
Shkiper50 [21]

We can actually deduce here that the statement, "revenue is recorded when services are performed, whereas deferred revenue is recorded when cash is received from customers in advance before services are performed" is true.

<h3>What is revenue?</h3>

Revenue is actually known to be the general or total income that an organization or a firm makes from sales of their goods and services. Revenue made helps to ascertain how the company is fairing in terms of sales and customer retention.

We see here that it is true that revenue is recorded whenever services have performed and the service provider has received the payment.

the government removes a $4 tax on buyers of restaurant meals and imposes the same $4 tax on sellers of restaurant meals, then t
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

(B)

Explanation:

The price paid by buyers will not change, and the price received by sellers will not change because;

First,

Buyers paid 4$ tax before, later government removes or substracts -$4 tax away causing tax on meal purchased by buyers = $0.

Second,

Prior to removal of the tax on buyers of meals, sellers would have likely included this cost $4 into their cost of meals to buyers.

Now buyers are not imposed tax but the sellers are. Sellers would include this cost into the cost of meals, which is then transferred to buyers.

The equation would look this way;

Cost +$4 tax - $4 tax= + $4

The same cost would apply.
