A consumer values a car at $20000 and it costs a producer $15000 to make the same car. If the transaction is completed at $18000, the transaction will generate:

The transaction will generate a buyer surplus of $2,000 and a sellers surplus of $3,000

Explanation:

A consumer values a car at $20,000

It costs a producer $15,000 to generate that same car

The transaction is complete at $18,000

The first step is to calculate the buyer's surplus

= $20,000-$18,000

= $3,000

The seller's surplus can be calculated as follows

= $18,000-$15,000

= $3,000

Hence the transaction will generate a buyer surplus of $2,000 and a sellers surplus of $3,000

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
