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

lianna [129]
All $27,000 in debt should be classified as current liabilities. Since the current liabilities section of the balance sheet encompasses obligations that are due to be fulfilled in the near term, and includes amounts relating to accounts payable, incomes, utilities, taxes, short-term loans, and so forth.  Current liabilities are debts that are due to be compensated within one year or the operating cycle, whichever is longer.

Gina and Bill are managers for two separate projects; both freely express their anger at work. Compared to Bill, Gina is more li
cestrela7 [59]

The answer to the question is Gina (B) is more likely to be perceived as overemotional and incompetent.

This is mainly because of her gender – since Gina is female, and females are often stereotyped as highly influenced by feelings when exhibiting their behaviors, thus, she will be judged as overemotional due to this. She would also be judged as more incompetent than Bill.

= $6,450
