Which of the following condition will both consumers and sellers benefit?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: Option C) When supply equals demand.

The most common supply curve decreases with price. The most common demand curve increases with price. The point at which supply and demand curves intercept each other is the equilibrium point. At that point (equilibrium), there are consumers who are paying less than what they are willing to pay (generating a consumer surplus) and there are producers who are selling at a price that is higher than what they are willing to receive (generating a producer surplus), then both consumer and producers benefit.

A deadweight loss is a consequence of a tax on a good because the tax a. induces the government to increase its expenditures. b.

zalisa [80]

Answer:

B) induces buyers to consume less, and sellers to produce less.

Explanation:

Taxes are a necessary evil since they always increase the price of the goods and services that consumers buy and decrease the amount of money that producers receive from selling their goods and services. But taxes are necessary and unavoidable.

But once a market assumes all the effects of existing taxes it reaches an equilibrium price that both consumers and producers are satisfied with. If a new tax is levied than the deadweight losses are greater since consumer surplus and producer surplus are both reduced. This will lead to a reduction in the incentive that both consumers and producers have to engage in transactions. Many times consumers will substitute heavily taxed goods for other goods since they feel they are getting more from consuming those goods (consumer surplus). The same happens to producers, many producers will change their heavily taxed goods for other goods.

If the price elasticity of demand or supply of a certain good is large (elastic demand and supply), the deadweight loss will be greater.

Answer:

Misstatement of age

If the insurance company knows that a person has intentionally lied about his/her age, they will adjust the insurance amount and premium to match the correct age of the insured. E.g. in this case, Lisa will probably be required to pay a higher premium on her policy, and depending on her age, the insurance amount might be lower.
