As gasoline prices go up, in the long run, people are more likely to turn to renewable fuels When the demand for goods X is elastic, then increasing the price of goods X as a strategy to increase income is the right strategy when the price in the store drops to Rp. 50, does the total consumer surplus drop to under Rp. 60? True or false

Suppose that the market demand curve for a good is given by D=80-2P-2I, where D is the quantity demanded, P is the price of the good, and I is consumer income in thousands of dollars. The good is a divisible good. The supply curve is given by S = 3P, where S is the quantity supplied. Assume that I = 15. (a) (10 points) How many units of the good are demanded with P = $4? (b) (10 points) Compute the size of a consumer surplus at P = $4. (c) (10 points) Derive the equilibrium price of the good.
Total surplus is maximized at the equilibriumprice and quantity. When demand increases,price increases. Explain how total surplus is stillmaximized if price increases due to an increase indemand
Pretend that a minimum price = $22 is imposed. This will reduce the quantity demanded to 40 units. At the imposed price of $22, what will be consumer surplus? $6 $80 $240 $480
(Q.3.3.) Suppose the demand and supply equations for a particular good are given as follow: QD - 140 - 2P and Qs - 4P - 10. The market for this good is currently in equilibrium. (Q.3.10) At the current market price, is the market outcome efficient? If not, state the relationship between the current market price and the efficient market price, and the current quantity traded and the efficient quantity traded. At the current market price, the market outcome_______________The current market price__________________the efficlent price, and the current quantity traded___________the efficient quantity. (Please explain the response. Do not simply provide an answer. Thank you. Option choices are: is efficient, is equal to, is greater than, is inefficient, or is less than than.)
Janice is willing to pay $100 for the first pair of shoes, $80 for the second pair, $50 for a third, and $30 for a fourth. If shoes cost $50, Janice will buy _____ pairs of shoes and her total consumer surplus will equal _______.
Supply and Demand Q1 Assume that the demand curve D(p) given below is the market demand for apples: Q=D(p)=280−20pQ=D(p)=280-20p, p > 0 Let the market supply of apples be given by: Q=S(p)=48+9pQ=S(p)=48+9p, p > 0 where p is the price (in dollars) and Q is the quantity. The functions D(p) and S(p) give the number of bushels demanded and supplied. What is the consumer surplus at the equilibrium price and quantity? Round the equilibrium price to the nearest cent, use that rounded price to compute the equilibrium quantity, and round the equilibrium quantity DOWN to its integer part.Maintain full precision for the vertical intercept by carrying the full fraction into your consumer surplus calculation.Please round your consumer surplus answer to the nearest integer.
Question 39 You are considering buying a monthly metro pass for the subway at $100 or paying $4 per ride (Pd). Your monthly demand curve is Pd = 60-2Qd where Qd is the number of rides per month. Given this information, your consumer surplus will be $784 buying each ride and $800 with the monthly pass. $600 buying each ride and $700 with the monthly pass. $784 buying each ride and $750 with the monthly pass. $750 buying each ride and $900 with the monthly pass.

You are considering shoplifting a head of broccoli from the farmer’s market in SLO. Your buyer value for the broccoli is $1.75. The broccoli is available for legal purchase for $1.50. For comparison purposes, assume that if you don’t steal the broccoli, you will make the choice that makes you best off within the law. Which statement below is correct? Group of answer choices: -Stealing the broccoli leads to an increase in total surplus but also causes a reduction in surplus for owners of the broccoli. -Stealing the broccoli leads to a decrease in total surplus and also cause a reduction in surplus for owners of the broccoli. -Stealing the broccoli leads to an increase in total surplus and does not harm anyone else. -Stealing the broccoli does not lead to an increase or decrease in total surplus and also causes a reduction in surplus for owners of the broccoli.
Suppose the market is in equilibrium at point E2. Which of the following is true? 1. Total surplus is maximized 2. There is a deadweight loss due to underproduction 3. There is a surplus of the good 4. There is a deadweight loss due to overproduction
indicate whether you think the statement is true or false andexplain why. 9. Natural gas and coal are two fuels used for electricity generation and their cross-price elasticity is positive.10. A tax on gasoline will have a smaller deadweight loss if the demand for gas is inelasticthan if it is elastic.11. If the solar panel industry is competitive, the marginal firm makes zero profits in the longrun.12. The supply of goods depends on the vertical aggregation of individual demands.13. Applying dynamic efficiency to non-depletable renewable energy is not necessary becauseits quantity will not in the future.14. Given a competitive oil market and zero extraction cost, dynamic efficiency entails that thecurrent oil price equals the present discounted value of the future price.
Suppose that Nabisco is willing to sell its first packet of Oreos for $1, the second for $2, the third for $3, and the fourth for $4. If the price of Oreos is $2.50, what is the producer surplus? (Assume that Nabisco CANNOT sell partial packs of Oreos.)
