<span>332.7 million gallons. First calculate the percentage increase in price of gasoline. 0.40 / 2.80 = 0.142857 = 14.2857% Now divide by the 10% to get the number of multiples of 10% the price increased by 14.2857% / 10% = 1.42857 Now multiply that by the percent decrease in demand 1.42857 * 2.30% = 3.29% So it looks like there will be a 3.29% decrease in demand due to the higher price. So calculate the expected amount of gasoline demand. 344 * (100% - 3.29%) = 344 * (96.71%) = 344 * 0.9671 = 332.7 So the expected demand after a price increase of 40 cents per gallon is 332.7 million gallons.</span>

Comparing perfect first degree price discrimination to perfect competition one can conclude that: (i) Total social surplus is th
marta [7]

Answer:

C. Both (i) and (ii) are true

Explanation:

Under perfect price discrimination, consumer surplus doesn't exist since the supplier is selling the good or service at the maximum price that each consumer is willing to pay. This situation maximizes supplier surplus.

Under perfect competition, both supplier and consumer surplus exist.

Since total social surplus = supplier surplus + consumer surplus, total surplus should be the same in both situations.
