Answer:
Answer explained below
Explanation:
decrease in consumer surplus = 0.5(initial number of bottles - final number)*(final price-initial price) + (final price-initial price)*(final number)
where initial number of bottles = 25
final number of bottles = 15
initial price = $390
final price = $390
substituting these values, we have
- decrease in consumer surplus = 0.5(25-15)(450-390) + (450-390)15 = 1200
Consumer surplus decreases by 1200
- Consumers will buy the good as long as marginal benefit is greater than or equal price.
Thus quantity demanded will be 2 from the table
Consumer surplus = 240- market price = 240 -220= 20
Consumers total benefit = 220*quantity demanded = 220*2= 440
Answer:
Present Value
Stream A $1,251.247
Stream B $1,300.316
Explanation:
<em>The present value of a future sum is the amount that would be invested today at the prevailing interest rate to have the sum</em>
Stream A
(100 × 1.08^9-1) + (400× 1.08^-2) + (400× 1.08^-3) + (400× 1.08^-4) + (300× 1.08^-5) = $1,251.247
Stream B
(300 × 1.08^9-1) + (400× 1.08^-2) + (400× 1.08^-3) + (400× 1.08^-4) + (100× 1.08^-5) = $1,300.316
Present Value
Stream A $1,251.247
Stream B $1,300.316
Answer:
C) producers to supply more and consumers to buy less.
Explanation:
The typical supply curve is upward-sloping (higher price leads to higer quantity supplied) and the typical demand curve is downward sloping (higher price lower quantity demanded).
Price is a measure of how much one good can be exchanged for other things. Production incurred cost (tend to rise as more resources become harder to obtain) so to supply more suppliers will demand higher price. Purchasing higher price good means consumers have less money (less of other goods can be bought) consumer will buy less good at higher price.
