Answer:

Annual rate of inflation = [(215.9 - 210.2) / 210.2] * 100

Annual rate of inflation = 2.7%

Real income change = Nominal income change - inflation rate

Janice Real income change = 4% – 2.7%

Janice Real income change = 1.3%

This means Janice's real income did increase by 1.3%.

Jeff Real income change = 2% – 2.7%

Jeff Real income change = -0.7%

This means Jeff's real income did decrease by 0.7%.

For each scenario, decide whether it creates a producer or a consumer surplus. Then, calculate the ensuing surplus.
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Alice's consumer surplus =  $5

Jeff's consumer surplus = $16

Nicole's producer surplus = $1

Explanation:

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of a good.

Consumer surplus = willingness to pay - price of the good

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the producer is willing to accept

Producer surplus = price of the good - least price the producer is willing to accept

Alice's consumer surplus = $30 - ($35 - $10) = $5

Jeff's consumer surplus = $20 - [$16 - (0.75 x $16)] = $16

Nicole's producer surplus = $501 - $500 = $1

Cr Treasury stock                                       $100,000

Cr Paid-in capital from treasury stock($7*5000)                                $35,000

Under International Financial Reporting Standards, the credit entries would be that par value is credited to equity share capital and the excess credited to share premium account.
