Answer:

Merv's Hardware would most likely try to lower the sale price of the sandpaper. In order to do so, the family store would have to reduce the costs of production, both fixed and variable. It might not still be able to match the $29 price offered by The Home Shoppe, but it could expect to rely on convenience for customers because while the Home Shoppe offers a cheaper product, it is located on another town and some customers may not want to go there.

Identify whether each statement in the following table best illustrates the concept of consumers’ surplus, producers’ surplus, o
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

1. Neither ; 2. Consumer Surplus ; 3. Producer Surplus

Explanation:

Consumer Surplus is the difference between a good's price paid by consumer, & maximum price the consumer is willing to pay for the good.

Producer Surplus is the difference between a good's price received by a seller, & minimum price at which the seller is willing to sell the good.

1. Willing to pay $209 for watch, buyer willing to sell at $196, no trade as price ceiling at $190 : It illustrates neither concept as transaction has not actually occurred, so no price established.

2. Willing to pay $39 for sweater, purchased it for $32 : It illustrates 'Consumer Surplus' case = $7 , as it shows difference between maximum willingness to pay by buyer ($39) & the actual buy price ($32)

3. Willing to sell laptop at $190, sold it at $199 : It illustrates 'Producer Surplus' case = $9 , as it shows difference between minimum willingness to sell price ($190) &  actual sale price ($199)
