Answer: c). decreases by $1.80

Explanation: Economic surplus is the sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus. When the marginal benefit is less than marginal cost, producing one more unit will lower the economic surplus by and amount equal to the difference between marginal benefit and marginal cost.

Economic surplus = Marginal benefit - Marginal cost  = $80.00 - $81.80  = - $1.80

Therefore, economic surplus decreases by $1.80, which is option c.

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

Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good

$6.75 - $4.75 = $2

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

Producer surplus = price – least price the seller is willing to accept

Suppose there are two individuals, Casey and Rick, who live in a very simplified world where only two goods are produced and con
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Casey's opportunity cost of producing 1 kg of potatoes is 5 kg of steak.

Casey's opportunity cost of producing 1 kg of steak is 0.2 kg of potatoes.

Rick's opportunity cost of producing 1 kg of potatoes is 3 kg of steak.

Rick's opportunity cost of producing 1 kg of steak is 0.33 kg of potatoes.

Casey should produce steak while Rick should produce potatoes, since Rick has a comparative advantage in producing potatoes (lower opportunity cost) and Casey has a comparative advantage in producing steak.

As long as the price of steak per kilogram of potatoes is less than 5 kg of steak and more than 3 kg of steak, then both would win. In order for both of them to win is a similarly proportional way, the exchange price should be 4 kg of steak per kg of potatoes.

Tim Company had sales of $30,000, increase in accounts payable of $5,000, decrease in accounts receivable of $1,000, increase in
ipn [44]

Answer:

$31,000

Explanation:

decrease in accounts receivable = $1,000

Sales = $30,000

Cash collected from customers = Sales plus decrease in accounts receivables

                                                    = $30,000 + $1000

                                                    = $31,000

The decrease in account receivables represents the collection of cash from a customer. If sales amount to $30,000, all must have been collected in cash hence no amount was outstanding to increase receivables. Hence the addition of the two items gives the cash collected from customers.
