Answer:

d) will become an importer of tomatoes.

Explanation:

Consumer surplus would increase because the price at which they buy tomatoes would reduce while producer surplus would reduce because the price of tomatoes would reduce as a result of international trade.

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.Because the price of tomatoes in the US is greater than the price of tomatoes in the world, when the US begins international trade, it would import tomatoes because it is inefficient in the production of tomatoes.  

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

The expenses can be recorded as follows;

Debit to the expenses of $33,000 and a credit to the cash account of $33,000.

Explanation:

The accounting equation is an equation that tends to balance a company's assets on one side and the sum of its liabilities and shareholders equity on the opposite side of the equation. It form the basis for the double-entry system in accounting that includes an accounts debit and credit. The debit is a sum to an amount that is owed, it is usually listed on the left hand-side of an account while the credit is a listing of a sum that is received usually on the right hand side of an account.

In the case of Michael Barry, the accounting equation;

Assets=liabilities+stockholders equity

Assets=$126,000

Liabilities=$74,000

Stockholders equity=$52,000

liabilities+stockholders equity=74,000+52,000=$126,000

The assets equals the sum of the liabilities and stockholders equity.

To record expenses paid of $33,000;

                            Debit           Credit

Expenses          $33,000

Cash                                       $33,000
