Suppose the marginal benefit the owner of a cherry orchard derives from hiring Lauren to pick cherries is $8 per hour. If the wage rate that Lauren earns is $7 per hour, then the orchard owner's surplus from Lauren's labor is per hour.

The orchard owner's surplus from Lauren's labor is $1 per hour.

The orchid owner's surplus is the excess of marginal benefit over the marginal cost of labour.

Marginal benefit is the change in benefit as output increases by 1 unit. Marginal cost of labour is the change in the total cost of labour as hours worked increases by an hour.

Surplus = Marginal benefit - Marginal cost

$8 - $7 = $1

$1 per hour

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Lauren pick cherries per hour for $8 per hour

And, the wage rate that Lauren earns is $7 per hour

So, the surplus made from Lauren's labor per hour is

= Lauren pick cherries per hour - Wage rate that Lauren earns

= $8 per hour - $7 per hour

= $1 per hour

Simply we deduct the wage rate from the cherries per hour so that the surplus per hour could come

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"
