Answer: $1.50

Explanation:

The economic surplus is the benefit that a person receives over what they view as the cost of the transaction.

Here you believe the car wash is worth $4.00 yet you believe the cost would be $2.50 if you did it yourself.

The surplus you are gaining therefore is;

Answer:

Economic surplus is $1.5

Explanation:

Economic surplus considers two components. The consumer surplus and the producer surplus.

Consumer surplus is difference between what a consumer is willing to pay and the market price of a good.

Producer surplus is the difference between the market price of a good and the minimum amount seller is willing to recieve for the product.

In this instance economic surplus combines the benefits that a producer and supplier gets from the product.

Consumer surplus is $4 and the producer surplus is $2.50

So if one decides to wash the car the comic surplus will be 4 - 2.50 = $1.5

Oksanka [162]

Answer: 20,000 pounds of CO₂

Explanation:

30 mpg car.

Number of gallons of gasoline used:

= 60,000 / 30

= 2,000 gallons

CO₂ released = 2,000 * 20

= 40,000 pounds

20 mpg car

Number of gallons used:

= 60,000 / 20

= 3,000 gallons

CO₂ released = 3,000 * 20

= 60,000 pounds

Difference:

= 60,000 - 40,000

= 20,000 pounds of CO₂
