Answer:

B) $80

Explanation:

The price for every piano tuning = $155, and Tom's costs for tuning pianos area as following:

  • $120 < $155, producer surplus = $35
  • $125 < $155, producer surplus = $30
  • $140 < $155, producer surplus = $15
  • $160 > $155, producer surplus = -$5

Since Tom is rational, he will only tune 3 pianos per week, since the tuning of the fourth piano is more expensive than the price charged.

Therefore, Tom's total suppliers surplus = $35 + $30 + $15 = $80

Answer:B - $80

Explanation: Producer surplus is the difference btw what a consumer is paying and what a producer is charging.

From the above questions, Tom tuned the following pianos:

Buyer willing to pay $155.

Tom tuned piano 1 for $120, therefore his surplus on piano 1 is $155 - $120 = $35

Tom tuned piano 2 for $125, therefore his surplus on piano 2 is $155 - $125 = $30

Tom tuned piano 3 for $140, therefore his surplus on piano 3 is $155 - $140 = $15

Tom tuned piano 4 for $160, therefore his surplus on piano 4 is $155 - $160 = ($5)

All together his surplus is $35+$30+$15 =$80

ad-work [718]
I would say that for most people, buying an apartment or a house would be the most major thing they could do that would affect their net worth. Initially it would be mostly a liability at first but as it appreciates, especially if it is in a big city where the population keeps growing then it most likely will appreciate and then the owner's assets will increase since their equity will increase.

mezya [45]

Answer:

Decrease cash and increase land

Explanation:

The transaction is:

Account             Debit        Credit

Land                $105,000

Cash                                  $105,000

Purchased land for business.

Both land and cash are assets: they are debited when they increased, and they are credited when they decrease.

Because cash was used to purchase the land, cash decreases and land increases.
