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

A company has a processing department with 10 stations. Because of the nature and use of three of these stations, each is consid
julsineya [31]

Answer:

CC100  has $31.25 per hour

CC11O has $250 per hour

CC120 has $62.5 per hour

CC190 has $62.5 per hour

Explanation:

The IDC rate for each department would be the department IDC allocated divided by operating hours as shown below:

CC100

IDC rate=$25,000/800=$31.25 per hour

CC110

IDC rate=$50,000/200=$250 per hour

CC120

IDC rate=$75,000/1200=$62.5 per hour

CC190

IDC rate=$100,000/1600=$62.5 per hour

Judging from the IDC rates of the departments,department CCC110 seems to have the highest IDC rate per hour,which implies that each hour is charged with $250 against the CC100 where each operating hours is just $31.25.

The higher the IDC rate in a department the higher the cost of the output of that department since the cost has to be recovered from output.

The collision repair industry does what volume of business per year? A. $1 million B. $10 Million C. $1 Billion D. $10 Billion
Eva8 [605]

Answer: D. $10 Billion

Explanation:

The United States has a large economy with a very large number of cars which was estimated to be around 280 million in the last quarter of 2019. With these many cars it would be improbable that there would not be quite a number of accidents and there are. In the year 2018, around 12 million cars were involved in motor accidents.

With such a staggeringly high number of cars involved in collisions, it is no wonder that it is estimated that the collision repair industry does around $10 billion worth of business every year.

A number of political leaders have expressed concern about the​ nation's decline as a major steel producer. many have advocated
zavuch27 [327]

The answer to the question is that the substitution of domestic steel for foreign steel absorbs resources that would otherwise produce goods of great value.

Though America is declining in terms of domestic steel production, it does not mean the nation as a whole is failing, including in terms of production. Since the skills that workers use to produce steel are transferable to other industries, this allows them to be involved in industries that are creating more relevant value right now than steel; choosing to return to domestic steel production might prove to be inefficient.
