Answer:

There are some indirect social costs that are included in marginal cost of firms, such as climate change due to green house gas emission, pollution, systemic risk (risk that banking system takes). These costs impose negative effect on economy and are not directly borne by consumer or producer.

There are some indirect social gains that are not included in price paid for good, such as driving an electric vehicle, improved education, fire proof homes, construction and operations of public goods like parks, street lights.

In a catalog a coat was on sale for $65.55 this week. It regularly sells for $77.77. If the sales tax is 6% and shipping is belo
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

$14.96

Explanation:

Shipping and handling charges are attached.

Given: Discounted price= $65.55.

           Regular sales price= $77.77

           Sales tax= 6%.

Now, find the cost of coat after tax.

Cost of coat= 77.77+(77.77\times 6\%)

⇒ Cost of coat= 77.77+ 4.66= \$ 82.43

Adding shipping charges to the cost= 82.43+8.95= \$91.39

Hence, cost of coat after tax and shipping charges= $91.39.

Next finding total cost of coat if sold at discount after tax.

Cost of coat at discounted price after tax= 65.55+(65.55\times 6\%)

⇒ Cost of coat at discounted price after tax= 65.55+ 3.93

⇒ Cost of coat at discounted price after tax= \$ 69.48

Adding shipping charges to the cost of coat= 69.48+6.95=\$ 76.43

Hence, cost of coat at discounted price after tax and shipping charges= $76.43.

Finding saving amount by ordering coat at the sale price or discounted price.

∴ Saving = Total\ cost\ of\ coat\ at\ regular\ price - Total\ cost\ of\ coat\ at\ discounted\ price

Saving= 91.39-76.43= \$ 14.96

Hene, Total saving by ordering coat at the sale price is $14.96
