Your small remodeling business has two work vehicles. One is a small passenger car used for job site visits and for other genera

l business purposes. The other is a heavy truck used to haul equipment. The car gets 25 miles per gallon (mpg). The truck gets 10 mpg. You want to improve gas mileage to save money, and you have enough money to upgrade one vehicle. The upgrade cost will be the same for both vehicles. An upgraded car will get 40 mpg; an upgraded truck will get 12.5 mpg. The cost of gasoline is $2.65 per gallon. Calculate the annual fuel savings in gallons for the truck and car assuming both vehicles are driven 12,000 miles per year. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>First - if we upgrade the Car</u> :

Current cost of fuel in car - 12000/25*2.65 = 1272$

after upgrading the car , cost of fuel in car - 12000/40*2.65 = 795$

Net saving in fuel cost -   1272-795 = 477$

<u>Second - if we upgrade the Truck </u>:

Current cost of fuel in truck - 12000/10*2.65 = 3180$

after upgrading the truck , cost of fuel in truck - 12000/12.5*2.65 = 2544$

Net saving in fuel cost - 3180-2544 = 636 $

So, we should upgrade the truck, because it will give more saving in fuel cost.

ANNUAL FUEL SAVINGS IN GALLONS:

CAR - 477/2.65 = 180 GALLONS

TRUCK - 636/2.65 = 240 GALLONS

Identify whether each of the following statements best illustrates the concept of consumer surplus, producer surplus, or neither
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

neither

producer surplus

consumer surplus

Explanation:

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.

Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good

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

Producer surplus = price – least price the seller is willing to accept

The first scenario is neither a producer or consumer surplus because a transaction did not take place

The second scenario is a producer surplus.

the producer surplus = 60 - 55 = 5

The third scenario is a consumer surplus

consumer surplus = $114 - $107 = $7

statuscvo [17]

Answer: $100

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the benefit that we forgo when another option is chosen thereby leaving out something else. Based on the information given, Ed's opportunity cost of going to the ball will be calculated as the addition of the income that's lost when he takes some time off from his work and the expenses that he incurs on the base ball game. This will be:

= ( 4 × $15) + $25 + $15

= $60 + $40

= $100

The opportunity cost is $100.
