Answer:

b. $0, -$10, $0

Explanation:

Sam is the producer, and he was getting $50 for moving Sofia's lawn. When the government imposes a tax of $10 on his activity, he now receives $60, but because $10 of those $60 is paid in taxes, his surplus remains the same: $50, so the change in the producer's surplus is $0.

Sofia is the consumer, and she was paying $50, but now she pays $60, thus, her consumer surplus has changed by -$10.

The sum of the change in consumer and producer surplus is $10 ($0 + $10), which is the same as the growth of government revenue from the taxes imposed: $10, therefore, the deadweight loss is $0.

Explanation:

we will calcualte the future value of the CD and from there calculate the interest:

Principal \: (1+ r)^{time} = Amount

rate 0.02450 (9.8% divided by 4 quarter per year)

This divisions and multiplication are done to make time and rate be express i nthe same metric.

2200 \: (1+ 0.0245)^{8} = Amount

Amount 2,670.04

Now, we calculate interest revenue:

Amount - Principal

2,670.04 - 2,200 = 470.04
