zane's vanes is a service that restores old weather vanes. zane has just spent $125 purchasing a 1920s-era weather vane which he expects to restore and sell for $500 once the work is completed. after having spent $125, zane realizes that he will need to spend an additional $200 on materials to complete the restoration. alternatively, he can sell the weather vane without restoring it for $200. what is his marginal benefit if he sells the weather vane without restoring it?

The marginal benefit from selling the vane without restoring it is $200.

Explanation:

Marginal benefits are the extra income a company can get from selling one additional unit of production.

Zane had already spent $250 in purchasing the vane and the restoration process.

Zane has two options:

If Zane decides to sell the vane as it is, his marginal benefit will be $200. That would not be enough to cover his costs, this transaction will result in a $50 loss.

If Zane decides to continue the restoration, then his marginal costs will be $200 extra, but his marginal benefit would be $500. If he chose this option he could end up earning a $50 profit.

a progressive tax is a tax that imposes a lower tax rate on low-income earners compared to those with a higher income, making it based on the taxpayer's ability to pay. that means it takes a bigger percentage from high income earners than it does from low income people.
