My savings
Explanation:
Savings for a month is the amount left after deducting all my expenditure from my monthly income
Savings = income - total expenditure

Savings = $2,000 - $1,800 = $200

Alice's consumer surplus = $5
Jeff's consumer surplus = $16
Nicole's producer surplus = $1
Explanation:
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of a good.
Consumer surplus = willingness to pay - price of the good
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the producer is willing to accept
Producer surplus = price of the good - least price the producer is willing to accept
Alice's consumer surplus = $30 - ($35 - $10) = $5
Jeff's consumer surplus = $20 - [$16 - (0.75 x $16)] = $16
Nicole's producer surplus = $501 - $500 = $1

Answer:
$20,000 ordinary gain
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Cash proceeds from Selling of the equipment = $50,000
Purchasing cost of the equipment = $60,000
Depreciation expense = $30,000

The book value of the equipment
= Purchasing cost of the equipment - Depreciation expense
= $60,000 - $30,000
= $30,000
Since,
the amount of proceeds from sales is higher than the book value of the equipment
Therefore a gain will be recognized
The amount of Gain = proceeds from Selling - book value
= $50,000 - $30,000
= $20,000
Hence,
$20,000 ordinary gain
