The following graph shows the supply curve for a group of students looking to sell used smartphones. Each student has only one u

sed smartphone to sell. Each rectangular segment under the supply curve represents the “cost,” or minimum acceptable price, for one student. Assume that anyone who has a cost just equal to the market price is willing to sell his or her used smartphone.
1. Region A (the purple shaded area) represents the total producer surplus when the market price is (Blank) , while Region B (the grey shaded area) represents the change in total producer surplus when the market price changes from $100 to $140 .

In the following table, indicate which statements are true or false based on the information provided on the previous graph.
2. Assuming each student receives a positive surplus, Sam will always receive less producer surplus than Teresa. (True or False)

3. .Producer surplus is smaller when the price is $140 than when it is $100. (True or False)

3. In order for Beth to earn a producer surplus of exactly $60 from selling a used smartphone, the market price needs to be (Blank)

1. The market price that represents the total producer surplus is $140.

Statement                                                                                       True/False

2. Sam will always receive <u>less</u> producer surplus than Teresa.    False

3. When the price is $140 producer surplus is smaller than at $100.  False

4. For Beth to earn a producer surplus of exactly $60, the market price needs to be $240 ($180 + $60).

Data and Calculations:

                             Cost       Market Price             Producer Surplus

                             A            B              C             D = (B -A)     E = (C - A)

Lorenzo                $20       $100      $140             $80          $120

Naha                     $60       $100      $140            $40            $80

Sam                      $80       $100      $140            $20            $60

Teresa                $100       $100      $140              $0            $40

Andrew              $160       $100      $140           -$60           -$20

Beth                   $180       $100      $140           -$80           -$40

The producer surplus represents the excess of the market price over the price a seller is willing to sell an item.  For example, Teresa is willing to sell the smartphone at $100.  If the market price is $120, she gets a producer surplus of $20 ($120 - $100).

Thus, the market price for a used smartphone must exceed the <em>seller's willingness price</em> to produce a producer surplus.

What is the term for when businesses produce goods and services that consumers do not want​
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Productive (technical) inefficiency.

Explanation:

A market failure can be defined as a situation in which the market fails to produce an efficient level of productivity or output that is required to meet consumer demand.

This ultimately implies that, a market failure arises when there is inefficiency in the distribution or allocation of goods and services in a free market.

In Economics, there are two types of inefficiency associated with the production of goods and services, these includes;

1. Allocative inefficiency: it occurs when businesses do not maximise output from the given inputs. Thus, it arises when businesses fail to increase the level of their production or productivity from a number of given inputs.

In conclusion, allocative inefficiency typically occurs when the price of a good or service isn't equal to its marginal cost i.e P ≠ MC.

2. Productive (technical) inefficiency: it occurs when businesses produce goods and services that consumers do not want.​ This is typically as a result of the incorrect and inefficient allocation of scarce resources by a business firm or entity.

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Cost of equity = 8.22%

Explanation:

Cost of equity = Dividend per share /current market value + growth rate of dividend  

Cost of equity = 2/90 + 6%

Cost of equity = 0.0222 + 6%

I am trying to understand the Opportunity cost. Can anyone help me please? I can't seem to get Economics, I really need help. Yo
sesenic [268]
<span>Basically "Opportunity cost" is what you're going to lose (or have a potential to lose) if you chose a different action than what you're presented with. In the example, you're working for $15 an hour, but if you decide instead to skip a pratrice to go to the fair you're losing out of the $15 an hour you'll be paid and have to pay $9 to go to the fair. All total, you're opportunity costs for that will be $24 (fifteen you would have made plus the nine dollar fee.) This is also assuming, of course, they don't fire/dock you for just skipping work.</span>
