Explanation:

In a monopoly market conditions, there is a single seller in the market and the monopolist firm is price setter.

Let x = the price of the car that Olivia can afford.
Down payment = $2,500
Remaining amount to be financed is P = x - 2500.
Total payments should equal the monthly payments.
The total payment over 4 years (48 months) is
A = $185*48 = $8,880
The rate is r = 4.9% = 0.049.
The compounding interval is n = 12.
The time is t = 4 years.
The amount financed is P = $(x - 2500).
Therefore
(x - 2500)(1 + 0.049/12)⁴⁸ = 8880
1.216(x - 2500) = 8880
x - 2500 = 7302.63
x = 9802.63
Olivia can afford a car priced at $9,802.63.
Answer: $9,802.63
Explanation:
Over the past several decades, advances in technology, greatly reduced the cost of making computers which resulted in the decline of the equilibrium price of computers and also resulted in increased equilibrium quantity. The reduction in the computer prices also caused an increase in the consumer surplus.
computer price down -> equilibrium price down
computer price down -> equilibrium quantity up
computer price down -> consumer surplus up
The producer surplus increases due to increase in quantity and at the same time producer surplus decreases due to decrease in price.
computer price down -> producer surplus down
computer quantity up -> producer surplus up
The marginal benefit from the activity is equal to the marginal cost
