Question: The demand function for widgets is given by D(P) = 16 − 2P. Compute the change inconsumer surplus when price of a widget increases for $1 to $3. Illustrate your result graphically
Answer:
For price of a widget equal to $1 consumer surplus is
D(1) = 16 - 2(1) = 14
CS₁ = ½ × (8 – 1) × D(1) = ½ × 7 × 14 = 49.
When price is equal to $3 consumer surplus is
D(3) = 16 - 2(3) = 10
CS₃ = ½ × (8 – 3) × D(3) = ½ × 5 × 10 = 25
Well i guess there arent any options...but it wold most likely result in more people buying them but in a negative light paying people who get them less and the supplies they need to do so overall harder to get, but with more people buying a demand for it would be higher, and you can take what you want out of my answer i could go on for a while
Answer:
option A,$19,200
Explanation:
The amount stock dividend issued that needs to be transferred from retained earnings to paid-in capital accounts by debiting the retained earnings and crediting the paid-in capital accounts is computed by the below formula:
Stock dividend value=stock dividend %* issued shares*market price
stock dividend % is 4%
issued shares is 40,000 shares
market price of stock is $12
stock dividend value=4%*40,000*$12=$19,200
The correct option is $19,200 option A.
One should be misled by the issue price of $8 per share,since that gives a different option which is wrong
