Option 1 The graph below shows the market for artisanal porcelain sloths.  (a) What is the equilibrium price and quantity of the sloths? Mjjj The equilibrium price of the sloths is $5 and the quantity 3. (b) What is the total revenue for businesses at the equilibrium point? EQ Price * EQ Quantity $5*3=$15 (c) Calculate the producer and consumer surplus at equilibrium. Show your work. (d)Consumer Surplus = [(8 - 5) * 3] / 2 = 9 / 2 = 4.5
(e)Producer Surplus = [(5 - 0) * 3] / 2 = 15 / 2 = 7.5 (f) Consumer Surplus = [(8 - 5) * 3] / 2 = 9 / 2 = 4.5 (g)Producer Surplus = [(5 - 0) * 3] / 2 = 15 / 2 = 7.5 (h)Consumer Surplus = [(8 - 5) * 3] / 2 = 9 / 2 = 4.5 (i) Producer Surplus = [(5 - 0) * 3] / 2 = 15 / 2 = 7.5
(j) Consumer Surplus = [(8 - 5) * 3] / 2 = 9 / 2 = 4.5 (k)Producer Surplus = [(5 - 0) * 3] / 2 = 15 / 2 = 7.5 Producer Surplus: (5-0) *3=15/2= 7.5 Consumer Surplus: (8-5) *3=9/2= 4.5 (d) Who is benefiting more, or has a greater surplus, at equilibrium, consumers or producers? Explain. The group with the greater surplus in this case the producer, is benefiting more as the producer surplus is 7.5 and the consumer cost being only 4.5 (e) The porcelain sloths decrease in price. They are a substitute good for glass llama sculptures. Draw a correctly labeled graph of the market for glass llama sculptures before and after the
