Answer:

The total surplus from Andrew's sale to Nick is $35.

Explanation:

The total surplus is the sum of producer surplus and consumer surplus.

The consumer surplus is the difference between the maximum price a consumer is willing to pay for a product and the price he/she actually has to pay.

While producer surplus is the difference between the minimum price a producer is willing to accept for a product and the price he/she actually gets.

Consumer surplus for Nick

= $80 - $60

= $20

Producer surplus for Andrew

= $60 - $45

= $15

Total surplus from generated from Andrew's sale to Nick

= $20 + $15

= $35

Mkey [24]

Answer:

Q is 98

Explanation:

Marginal (average) cost (including opportunity cost) = $8 + $2 = $10

Profit is maximized when MR = MC = 10.

P = 402 - 2Q

Total revenue (TR) = P x Q = 402Q - 2Q^2

MR = dTR/dQ = 402 - 4Q

Equating with MC,

402 - 4Q = 10

4Q = 392

Q = 98
