Answer:

$8

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 - price

The consumer surplus of the 10th scarf :

Willingness to pay for the 10th scarf - price of the scarf

Willingness to pay for the 10th scarf =  $200 / 10 = $20

Consumer surplus = $20 - $12 = $8

I hope my answer helps you

Answer:

$80

Explanation:

Consumer surplus can be defined as the difference between what a consumer is willing to pay for a particular product and the amount he actually paid. The amount he actually paid is usually less than what he is willing to pay.

Consumer surplus= willing price - actual price

Hugo is willing to pay $200 for 10 scarfs

That is $200/10

=$20/scarf

Actual price paid is $12/scarf

That is, $12×10

=$120

Consumer surplus per scarf=$20-$12

=$8

This is to say that Hugo has a surplus of $8 per scarf

Total surplus on 10 scarfs can be calculated

Total Consumer surplus=$200-$120

=$80

Or

Multiplying each surplus by 10 scarfs

Each surplus=$8

Then,

Total surplus=$8×10

=$80

Andru [333]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. increase; decrease.

Explanation:

Speculation consists of the purchase (or sale) of goods with a view to their subsequent resale (repurchase), when the reason for such action is the expectation of a change in the prices affected with respect to the dominant price and not the gain derived from its use, or of some kind of transformation carried out on these or of the transfer between different markets.

A speculative operation seeks not to enjoy the good or service involved, but to obtain a benefit from the price fluctuation based on the theory of arbitration. In an extensive sense, every form of investment that a medium entails is speculative; However, the term is usually applied to that investment that does not entail any kind of commitment to the management of the assets in which it is invested, and is limited to the movement of capital (financial market), usually in the short or medium term.

The speculation is based on the forecast and the perception, so that the speculator can also be wrong if he does not correctly anticipate the evolution of future prices, so he will have to sell cheap something he bought expensive. The speculative market therefore rewards those who know how to predict.

zhuklara [117]

If a small country wants to buy aircraft from the United States and the United States wants to export its aircraft, the United States may work through WTO in removing preset trade barriers so that the small country can more easily purchase the aircraft.

Explanation:

The World Trade Organisation (WTO) is the only international organisation that follows global trade law. It primarily ensures trading is as easy, consistent and free as possible.

World countries meet in the WTO to discuss whether trade restrictions, such as tariffs, should be reduced. WTO talks are conducted in "rounds" where every nation negotiates a trade development agreement, takes a year or two off again and starts negotiations for a new deal.
