question
2 A firm lowers its cost of production from $40 per unit to $30 unit, yet continues to sell the good at the same price. Did this move create any more value for the customer?
answer
No, it stayed the same.

question
4 If 50 customers are all willing to pay $30 for an album that sells for $25, how much total value is created for the customers?
answer
250
Creates $5 in value for customers (30-25). $5 x 50 customers = 250
VALUE OR CONSUMER SURPLUS = Difference WIlling(#) - Must(#)
Creates $5 in value for customers (30-25). $5 x 50 customers = 250
VALUE OR CONSUMER SURPLUS = Difference WIlling(#) - Must(#)
question
5 Assume a firm sells an album for $25 per copy. The firm must pay $6 in royalties and $9 in production costs for each album. If 60 copies are sold, how much profit (value capture) was the firm able to make?
answer
600
Total Production Costs = 15 (9+6). 25 - 15 = 10 x 60 = 600
VALUE CAPTURE:
firms earning profit by selling at price ABOVE cost
Total Production Costs = 15 (9+6). 25 - 15 = 10 x 60 = 600
VALUE CAPTURE:
firms earning profit by selling at price ABOVE cost
