Answer:

A

Explanation:

Tax is a compulsory sum levied on the price of goods and services. It increases the price of goods and services

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

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

If tax increases the price of the good, consumer surplus would reduce

For example, willingness to pay is $20, price before tax is $5 and price after tax is $10. consumer surplus becomes $10 when it was $15 initially

Tax reduces the amount that would be received by the seller. This reduces consumer surplus.

Deadweight loss is the decrease in quantity demanded as a result of tax. Because tax increases price, the quantity demanded would reduce

A dealer buys 10,000 shares of ABC common at $20 for its inventory. One week later the stock is quoted at $22 - $23, and a custo
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

$22

Explanation:

According to the FINRA 5% Policy the mark-down if the customer sell must always be calculated from the inside bid price which is here $22 and if the customer is a buyer then the mark-up must be calculated using the inside ask price which is here $23. As the customer here is seller, hence the inside bid price $22 was appropriate here according to the FINRA 5% policy.

FINRA 5% policy says that the broker can not charge commissions, or markups or markdowns which is more than 5% on standard trades.

So the commission of $2 ($23-$21) is not allowed under this rule hence the appropriate price for the stock must be $22 not $21.
