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.
A producer is willing to produce 3 units at 3 dollars per unit and another producer is willing to produce 3 units at 6 dollars per unit. If the equilibrium price is 11 dollars, what is the combined producer surplus for the two producers?
then letting the market determine the price level and equilibrium amount is the most appropriate decision because the total surplus of consumers and producers is the most minimal the statement above is true/false?
In the graph above, if the maximum price is set at P1, what area(s) represent the producer surplus after implementing this policy? Question 15 options: a) Areas C+D+G b) Area G c) Areas G+D d) Area C e) Area D
Consumer surplus is defined as the Group of answer choices difference between the willingness to pay for a good and the willingness to sell it. quantity of units that consumers want to buy at the market price. difference between the willingness to pay for a good and the price paid to get it. total revenue earned from producing and selling some good. difference between the price the seller receives and the willingness to sell it.
There are six potential consumers of computer games, each willing to buy only one game. Consumer 1 is willing to pay $40 for a computer game, consumer 2 is willing to pay $35, consumer 3 is willing to pay $30, consumer 4 is willing to pay $25, consumer 5 is willing to pay $20, and consumer 6 is willing to pay $15. Suppose the market price is $29. What is the total consumer surplus? The market price decreases to $19. What is the total consumer surplus now? When the price falls from $29 to $19, how much does each consumer’s individual consumer surplus change? How does total consumer surplus change?
Question 12.12. A surplus of a product will arise when price is above equilibrium with the result that quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. above equilibrium with the result that quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded. below equilibrium with the result that quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. below equilibrium with the result that quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded. Question 13.13. Which of the following is a consequence of rent controls established to keep housing affordable for the poor? Less rental housing is available as prospective landlords find it unprofitable to rent at restricted prices. The quality of rental housing declines as landlords lack the funds and incentive to maintain properties. Apartment buildings are torn down in favor of office buildings, shopping malls, and other buildings where rents are not controlled. All of the above are consequences of rent controls. Question 14.14.

Consider that the market for soybeans is defined by the following demand and supply equations: QD = 200 - 10P and QS = 20P - 100, where P is the price in dollars and Q measures the quantity in tons per quarter. The market is currently in equilibrium. Now consider that after much lobbying by the United Farmers Association, the government imposes a price control of $12.50 in this market, with no additional government support. 1.Given the current market environment, what is the total surplus in the market? 2.Describe the current market outcome. As the result of the government’s policy, the current market outcome is __________(efficient ? not efficient?). The quantity traded is __________(less than ? greater than ?) the quantity traded before the government intervention, and price sellers ( farmers) receive per ton is __________(equal to 10? equal to 12.50? less than 10? less than 12.50 and greater than 10?). Additionally, as a result of the government’s policy sellers seem to be…
Suppose the demand and supply curves for good X are both linear. The demand price for the first unit of X is $28, and the supply price for the first unit of X is $6. If the equilibrium price for good X is $16 and the equilibrium quantity of X is 24,000 units, then total consumer surplus is $________, total producer surplus is $_________, and total social surplus is $_____________.
Suppose demand and supply are given by Qd = 60 - P and Qs = P - 10. Suppose that new consumers enter the market (higher preference for the good), increasing the demand by 20 units at each price. At the same time, suppliers are using a new technology that increased production by 12 units at each price. Calculate producer surplus:
Producer surplus: is the difference between the maximum prices consumers are willing to pay for a product and the lower equilibrium price. rises as equilibrium price falls. is the difference between the minimum prices producers are willing to accept for a product and the higher equilibrium price. is the difference between the maximum prices consumers are willing to pay for a product and the minimum prices producers are willing to accept.
The rent on an apartment in a particular building near campus is $1,200 per month. If Min would be willing to pay up to $1,400, Genevieve would be willing to pay up to $1,500, Fraser would be willing to pay up to $1,600, and Kayden would pay no more than $1,000, what is the consumer surplus for this group of students who would like to live in the building? Explain how you calculated this consumer surplus
