Answer:
d) will become an importer of tomatoes.
Explanation:
Consumer surplus would increase because the price at which they buy tomatoes would reduce while producer surplus would reduce because the price of tomatoes would reduce as a result of international trade.
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.Because the price of tomatoes in the US is greater than the price of tomatoes in the world, when the US begins international trade, it would import tomatoes because it is inefficient in the production of tomatoes.
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product
Answer:
$1,521,800
Explanation:
The computation of cost basis is shown below:-
Three cells cost price = 3 × $470,000
= $1,410,000
Combination of rate charges = $30,000 + $16,000 + $39,000 + $3,600
= $88,600
Wages of one foreman = wage per hour × weeks worked × hours per week
= $29 × 5 × 40
= $5,800
Wages of 4 foremen = 4 × $5,800
= $23,200
Three cells cost basis = Three cells cost price + Combination of rate charges + Wages of one foreman
= $1,410,000 + $88,600 + $23,200
= $1,521,800
