Answer:

option (c) $600

Explanation:

Given:

Tax = $4 per unit

Initial equilibrium quantity = 2,000 units

Final equilibrium quantity = 1,700 units

Decrease in consumer surplus = $3,000

Decrease in consumer surplus = $4,400

Now,

Deadweight Loss is calculated using the formula:

Deadweight loss

= \frac{1}{2} × Tax × (Original equilibrium quantity - New equilibrium quantity)

on substituting the respective values, we get

Deadweight loss = \frac{1}{2} × 4 × (2,000 - 1,700)

or

Deadweight loss =  2 × (3)  = $600

Hence,

the correct answer is option (c) $600

REY [17]

The practice of "wardriving" involves a hacker driving around and using technology to find insecure wireless networks, possibly including ones in your house.

<h3>How could potential victims protect themselves again such an offence?</h3>

The hacker could have access to that network, obtain private information, steal identities, or carry out other nefarious deeds. Are you in danger? It partly relies on how secure your home network is. It makes sense to take precautions against wardrivers for your network, devices, and data.

Wardriving is the process of using hardware and software to find unsecured wireless networks with the goal of potentially gaining access to them. To crack passwords and decode networks, software programs are required. A mobile device like a wireless laptop, a GPS system, and a wireless network are examples of hardware.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Beginning Raw material Inventory = Direct materials used - Raw Materials purchases + Ending raw materials inventory

= 188,420 - 159,120 + 22,610

= $‭51,910‬

Total cost of work in process = Cost of goods manufactured + Work in process (12/31)

= 544,240 + 83,230

= $627,470

Total Manufacturing costs = Total cost of work in process - Work in process (1/1)

= 627,470  - 220,940

= $406,530

Direct labor = Total Manufacturing costs - Total overhead - Direct materials used

= 406,530 - 139,320 - 188,420

= $78,790
