Answer:

D: declining marginal benefit

Explanation:

Declining benefits is a concept explained in the theory of diminishing marginal returns. As per this theory, additional deployment of an input while holding the other factors constant will lead to negative returns.

The term marginal refers to one more additional input or output. Marginal returns is the additional gain resulting from the sale or production of an extra unit. A firm enjoys positive marginal returns until production gets to its capacity level. Further input after this level results in decreasing gains.

This company opts not to purchase more inputs because it has reached its optimal level. Additional inputs will lead to reduced returns and, eventually, losses.

Assume that three identical units are purchased separately on the following three dates and at the respective costs:________. Ju

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Under last in, first out (LIFO) inventory method, the units purchased last are used to determine the cost of goods sold. This doesn't mean that exactly the last units purchased will be sold first, it is just used as an accounting tool.

In this case, the last unit purchased costed $20, and the immediately previous one costed $15. Under LIFO, these 2 units would have been sold (COGS = $35), and the ending inventory = $10 (the price of the "oldest" unit).

Dan owns an autographed copy of a brittany spears cd that he values at $100. if he sells the cd at the garage sale he's planning

Delvig [45]

The complete question is as follows:

Dan owns an autographed copy of a Brittany Spears CD that he values at $100. If he sells the CD at the garage sale he’s planning to hold in a few weeks, it will be sold to a buyer with a reservation price of $175. If he sells it on eBay, it will be sold to a buyer with a reservation price of $500. eBay will charge Dan $50 to auction the CD, which just covers eBay’s opportunity cost of running the auction. Relative to selling the CD at his garage sale, auctioning the CD on eBay will lead:

A. to no change in total economic surplus.

B. total economic surplus to increase by $500.

C. total economic surplus to increase by $275.

D. total economic surplus to increase by $100.

Answer: C - Total economic surplus to increase by $275.

In this question, we only need to consider producers' surplus since we're considering the various options for Dan to sell his CD.

We calculate Producer's Surplus as follows:

$Producer's surplus = Market Selling Price - Economic Cost.$

Economic costs not only refers to explicit costs like cost of the CD, but also includes opportunity costs. Since we need to calculate producer's surplus when Dan sells on Ebay, we need to consider the following costs:

Value of the CD = $100

Ebay's opportunity cost that Dan will have to bear = $50

$Profit Dan would've received in garage sale = $75 ($175 - $100)$

Among the three expenses listed above, the profit Dan would've got in the garage sale is considered the implicit cost or opportunity cost.

Substituting the values we have in the equation above, we get,

$Producer's Surplus = 500 - (100+50+75)$

$Producer's Surplus = 275$
