Answer:

Consumer surplus increases by $2

Explanation:

The consumer surplus can be defined as the benefit that consumers gain when they pay less for a good that they are willing to pay more for.

a). Determine the final demand as follows;

Price elasticity of demand=% change in price/% change in demand

where;

price elasticity of demand=-1

% change in price={(Final price-initial price)/initial price}×100

Final price=$24

initial price=$25

% change in price=(24-25)/25=(1/25)×100=-4%

% change in demand=x

replacing in the original expression;

-1=-4/x

x=4%

% change in quantity={final quantity-initial quantity/initial quantity}×100

let final quantity=y

4%={(y-100)/100}×100

0.04=(y-100)/100

4=y-100

y=4+100=104

final quantity=104 units

Consumer surplus=(1/2)×change in price×change in quantity

where;

change in price=25-24=1

change in quantity=104-100=4

Consumer surplus=(1/2)×1×4=2

Consumer surplus increases by $2

Schach [20]

Answer:

$100,000

Explanation:

According to the internal revenue service ''<u>In most situations, the basis of an asset is its cost to you.</u> <u>The cost is the amount you pay for it in cash</u>, debt obligations, and other property or services. Cost includes sales tax and other <u>expenses connected with the purchase</u>.''

Therefore Sebastian's basis in these two assets is unconnected with the fair market value of the assets but with the cost.

Purchased Equipment is always recorded at its acquisition cost or its net book value, that is after deducting the accumulated depreciation . In the scenario we have no depreciation figures, hence the basis is the cost of $100,000
