Answer:

$10.10

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 of a consumer - price of the good

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of the product and the least price the producer is willing to sell his product

Producer surplus = price of the product - least price the producer is willing to sell his product

Consumer surplus

Jeff :  $7.25 - $5 = $2.25

Samir: $9 - $5 = $4

Total consumer surplus = $2.25 + $4 = $6.25

Producer surplus

Ist manufacturer = $5 - $3 = $2

2nd manufacturer = $5 - $3.15 = $1.85

Total producer surplus = $2 + $1.85 = $3.85

Total social welfare = $3.85 + $6.25 = $10.10

I hope my answer helps you

For​ example, if the total cost of producing three units of output is ​$2,498 and the total cost of producing four units of outp
topjm [15]

Answer:The marginal cost of fourth unit is $589

Explanation:The marginal cost of a good is defined as the cost of producing an additional one unit which increases the total cost of such good. Therefore we can say that;

Marginal cost=Total cost at 4 units - total cost at (4-1) units

 =total cost of  the  4 units - total cost of the  three units

              =3,087 -2,498

             =$589

Also using the formulae;

Marginal cost = Change in cost / change in quantity

= 3,087 -2,498/4-3 =589/1= $589

The marginal cost of fourth unit is $589

You know that the assets of a firm BIG are today worth 100mil. You reasonably feel that in a year they will be either worth 110m
Ainat [17]

Answer:

(1) 95.23 (2)5.008% or 5% (3) The value of equity is zero (4)The future value of the firm will be 110 mil. than Firm equity will be 110-100 =10 mil not zero

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The worth in good in this example= 110 mil

Worth in bad in this example =90 mil

The future value =( 110+90)/2

=100

Future value = 100

Now

(1) The Present value = F/(1+r)^n

=100/1.05

=95.23

(2) the yield to maturity is given below:

YTM = (FV/PV)^n -1

Here

FV = future value

PV = present value

n=years

Thus

(100/95.23)^1 -1

=5.008% or 5%

Since the bond are zero coupon bond so interest rate is equal to YTM

(3) The total worth =100 mil

Thus

The Debt +equity =100

100+equity =100

Equity =100-100

=0

Hence the value of equity is zero.

The firm BIG is only debt firm. Firm do not have equity.

(4) The future value of the firm will be 110 mil. than Firm equity will be 110-100

=10 mil not zero
