Abel Mcgrath · Answer 1

(a) $ 1200

(b) $ 702.5

Explanation:

In the demand and supply curve, the price of goods and services changes with respect to market conditions such as scarcity and consumers' needs. In the problem, if the producers charge about $497.50, the scalper will definitely charge a price higher than that of the producers, in this case, $1200. Thus, this is $702.5 (i. e. $1200 - $497.50) more than the producers' charge.
