If the domestic demand curve is Equal 20p Superscript negative 0.5​, the domestic supply curve is Equal 5p Superscript 0.5​, and
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

$52

$ 1.33

  • consumer price will increase
  • consumer surplus will decrease
  • import will decrease
  • reduced export
  • portends gloom for the general outlook for the economy

Explanation:

Given domestic demand curve, S(p) = 20p⁻⁰°⁵

the domestic supply curve S(p)= 5p⁰°⁵

world price is ​$7.00

using  calculus to determine the changes in consumer​ surplus

by consumer surplus means in this case supply exceeds demand

we establish the equilibrium point where the supply and demand functions meet or are equal

solving 20p⁻⁰°⁵ = 5p⁰°⁵

     20/5 = p⁰°⁵/p⁻⁰°⁵

       4 = p⁰°⁵⁺⁰°⁵

      4= p = q which is the quantity produced

     

consumer surplus =  maximum price willing to pay - Actual price

                             = ∫⁴₀  dp dp - p* q

                               =  ∫⁴₀20p⁻⁰°⁵ dp- 7* 4

                              = 20∫⁴₀p⁻⁰°⁵ dp -28

                              = 20/0.5 p⁰°⁵- 28

                              = 40 *4⁰°⁵ - 28 =  $52

producer surplus = it is a measure of producer welfare. It is measured as the difference between what producers are willing and able to supply a good for and the price they actually receive

thus  producer  surplus = p* q - ∫⁴₀  d(s) dp

                                         = 7 * 4 - ∫⁴₀  5p⁰°⁵  dp

                                         = 28 - 5 ∫⁴₀   p⁰°⁵    dp

                                         = 28 -5 *2/3  p¹°⁵  

                                          = 28 -5 *2/3  4¹°⁵

                                          =$ 1.33

welfare from eliminating free trade

  • consumer price will increase
  • consumer surplus will decrease
  • import will decrease
  • reduced exports
  • portends gloom for the general outlook for the economy

An activity-based costing system is developed in four steps: a. Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rate for each acti
Andru [333]
<h3>Hello there!</h3>

Your question asks what order does a activity-based costing system work by.

<h3>Answer: b, c, a, d</h3>

The order:

1. b). Identify activities and estimate their total indirect costs.

2. c). Identify the allocation base for each activity and estimate the total quantity of each allocation base.

3. a). Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rate for each activity.

4. d). Allocate indirect costs to the cost object.

The reason why the answer choice "b, c, a, d" is the correct answer because that's the correct order for the activity-based costing system.

The activity-based costing system first identifies the activities that are going on and find the indirect cost, then identifies the allocation base for the activities that are occurring to find the quantity of the allocation base, then solve the pre-determined rate of allocation for each activity, and finally get the indirect cost for the object.
