Answer:
$10.10
Explanation:
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the product.
Consumer surplus = willingness to pay of a consumer - price of the good
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of the product and the least price the producer is willing to sell his product
Producer surplus = price of the product - least price the producer is willing to sell his product
Consumer surplus
Jeff : $7.25 - $5 = $2.25
Samir: $9 - $5 = $4
Total consumer surplus = $2.25 + $4 = $6.25
Producer surplus
Ist manufacturer = $5 - $3 = $2
2nd manufacturer = $5 - $3.15 = $1.85
Total producer surplus = $2 + $1.85 = $3.85
Total social welfare = $3.85 + $6.25 = $10.10

Answer:
a) $3077
b) The owner should make this investment because the marginal benefit is greater than the marginal cost
Explanation:
Given data :
Total cost = $2000
depreciation rate = 8% per year
expected increase in revenue (CF ) = $400
interest rate = 5%
a) Determine the present value of the stream of revenue due to the upgrades
= CF / ( 1 + r ) ^t where ( 1 + r )^t = 13%
= 400 / 13%
= $3077
b) The owner should make this investment because the marginal benefit is greater than the marginal cost
