What is the lowest hourly wage at which you would be willing to spend 10 hours per week at a retail sales job during the school year?
A demander with Buyer Value $50 buys an object from a supplier with Seller Cost $20. The sum of the buyer’s and the seller’s profit : • depends on the price. Higher price means larger sum. • is the same at all prices between $20 and $50. • depends on the price. Lower price means smaller sum. • None of the above.
Why is that? • Buyer’s profit=BV-Price • Seller’s Profit =Price –SC • Buyers Profit +Seller’s profit= (BV-Price)+(Price-SC)=BV-SC So sum of buyer’s and seller profit is BV-SC regardless of price.
