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

Arada [10]

Answer: Current Price $26.65

Explanation:

Rate of return = 12.5%

dividends = $1.98

Expected Price (in a year from now) Pe= $28

Current price = Pc

R = (Pe - Pc + D)/Pa

0.1250 = (28 - Pc + 1.98)/Pc

28 - Pc + 1.98 = 0.1250Pc

-Pc - 0.1250Pc = - 28 - 1.98

- 1.125Pc = -29.98

 Pc = -29.98/(-1.1250Pc) = 26.64888889

 Pc = $ 26.65
