Answer:

consumer surplus = $3.5

producer surplus = $2

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

Jeff's consumer surplus = $7 - $6 = $1

Samir's  consumer surplus = $8.50 - $6 = $2.50

total consumer surplus = $1 + $2.50 = $3.50

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

Manufacturer 1's producer surplus = $6 - $4.5 = $1.50

Manufacturer 2's producer surplus = $6 - $5.50 = $0.50

total producer surplus = $1.50 + 0.50 = $2

EMD Corporation manufactures two products, Product S and Product W. Product W is of fairly recent origin, having been developed
Julli [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.

Direct labour hours work during the period:

Product S=72,400 units×1 hour=72,400 hours

Product W=18,100 units × 3 hours=54,300 hours

Total labour hours=126,700 hour

Predetermined overhead rate=$958,396/126,700  =7.56 per hour

2.

Unit product cost of S = Direct Material cost + Direct labour cost + Overhead = 12+16+7.56*1 = $35.56

Unit product cost of W = Direct Material cost + Direct labour cost + Overhead = 34+13+7.56*3 = $69.68
