Answer:

If the hospital underestimated its bad debt, that means that they are overestimating their profits. The cash flow is determined using the income statement, so it will also be overestimated. But at some point reality will catch up and the actual cash flow will be less than expected, since bad debts reduce actual revenue.

Answer:

Total producer surplus= $30

Explanation:

Producer surplus is the difference between the price a seller is willing to sell and the market price or actual price at which the item is bought. The producer surplus is the additional benefit the seller gets from a sale.

Consumer surplus= Market price - Price seller is willing to sell for

Marco is willing to sell at $15 hour

Kelly is willing to pay $30 per hour

Mike is willing to pay $20 per hour

Surplus from Kelly= 30- 15= $15

Surplus from Mike= 20- 15= $5

Total producer surplus= ($15*1 hour) + ($5 *3 hours)

Total producer surplus= 15 + 15= $30
