Answer:
Deadweight loss is $5000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what deadweight loss is
First step is to calculate the Change in quantity
Change in quantity =2500-2000
Change in quantity=500 unit
Now let determine the Deadweight loss
Using this formula
Deadweight loss =0.5* Change in quantity *(Willingness to pay at the price ceiling -Price ceiling)
Let plug in the formula
Deadweight loss =0.5*500*(50-30)
Deadweight loss=250*20
Deadweight loss =5000
Therefore the deadweight loss is $5000

Answer:
A) They would be indifferent, as Sally's income net of costs equals $25,000.
Explanation:
Sally's economic profit = accounting profit - opportunity costs
- accounting profit = $12,000
- opportunity costs = $25,000 - $15,000 in lost salaries + $2,000 (lost investment revenue) = $12,000
economic profit = $12,000 - $12,000 = $0
Since the economic profit is $0, Sally should be indifferent between running her own business or working for someone else.
One technological advance I have experienced in detail was the conversion from Imperial to the metric system in Canada especially in the mines I worked at. The advantage was that now everything could be done in 10's like millimeters, centimeters, metres and kilometers for example. The drawback would be that I was accustomed to say with cars to use miles per gallon and I had a hard time to envisage kilometres per liter. Another innovation I experienced first hand was the development of the GPS. This made it easier to locate oneself in the field provided there was good satellite reception and at least for the handheld GPS the accuracy was only down to about +-5meters so was not exact. Only the more expensive GPS like the Trimble could zero one in with sub-centimetre accuracy.
