Joe mows lawns in his neighborhood for extra money. Suppose the demand for lawn mowing in Joe's neighborhood is: Qd = 46 - 2P and that the supply of lawn mowing (Joe's willingness to mow lawns) is: Qs = -14 + P The market-clearing price of lawn mowing is $20 and the market clearing quanitiy is 6. What is the corresponding consumer surplus?

Sam's is interested in two goods, X and Y. His indirect utility function is U* = M px-0.8 py0.8-1. ( same as U* = M /(px0.8 py1-0.8 ) ) where M is Sam's income, and px and py denote respectively the price of good X and the price of good Y. Sam's market demand function for good X is X*=0.8M/px .
