- consumer price will increase
- consumer surplus will decrease
- import will decrease
- reduced export
- portends gloom for the general outlook for the economy
Explanation:
Given domestic demand curve, S(p) = 20p⁻⁰°⁵
the domestic supply curve S(p)= 5p⁰°⁵
world price is $7.00
using calculus to determine the changes in consumer surplus
by consumer surplus means in this case supply exceeds demand
we establish the equilibrium point where the supply and demand functions meet or are equal
solving 20p⁻⁰°⁵ = 5p⁰°⁵
20/5 = p⁰°⁵/p⁻⁰°⁵
4 = p⁰°⁵⁺⁰°⁵
4= p = q which is the quantity produced
consumer surplus = maximum price willing to pay - Actual price
= ∫⁴₀ dp dp - p* q
= ∫⁴₀20p⁻⁰°⁵ dp- 7* 4
= 20∫⁴₀p⁻⁰°⁵ dp -28
= 20/0.5 p⁰°⁵- 28
= 40 *4⁰°⁵ - 28 = $52
producer surplus = it is a measure of producer welfare. It is measured as the difference between what producers are willing and able to supply a good for and the price they actually receive
thus producer surplus = p* q - ∫⁴₀ d(s) dp
= 7 * 4 - ∫⁴₀ 5p⁰°⁵ dp
= 28 - 5 ∫⁴₀ p⁰°⁵ dp
= 28 -5 *2/3 p¹°⁵
= 28 -5 *2/3 4¹°⁵
=$ 1.33

Answer:
Explanation:
1.
Shareholders equity = Common stock + Retained earnings
Beg. balance = Common stock+Retained earnings = 166,000 + 66,000 = 232,000
Statement of shareholder's equity
Beg balance 232,000
Issuance of common stock 56,000
Add: Net Income 46,000
Less: Dividends 11,600
End balance 322,400
Balance sheet
There is not information for preparation of balance sheet but following is the layout:
Assets:
Cash
Supplies
Prepaid rent
Land
Liabilities:
Accounts payable
Salaries
Utilities
Notes payable
Stockholder's equity:
Common stock 222,000 [166,000+56,000]
Retained earnings 112,000 [66,000+46,000]
Total 334,000
Answer:
How should she compute her required annual investment?
$ 36.987
Explanation:
With the present value formula we can calculate how she has to invest today to get $45,000 at the end of the 5 years, with a compounded rate of 4%.
Principal Present Value = F / (1 + r)^t
In this case we have the future value and we need to find the present value that we have to invest to get the money expected.
Principal Present Value = 45,000 / (1 + 4%)^5 = $36,987
If we invest today $36,987, with a compounded interest rate of 4% we get at the end of the period, 5 years, the total sum of $45,000.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the increase or decrease in the net income when Alternative B should be selected rather Alternative A is given below:
<u>Particulars Alternative A Alternative B</u>
Revenue $160,000 $180,000
Less cost -$100,000 $125,000
Net income $60,000 $55,000
If we choose alternative B so there would be decrease in the net income by $5,000
