Question

Consider the following demand and supply function of product ZT:

Qd = 25 - 1.25 P Qs = -9 + 3 P

Note: Determine the equilibrium point first to answer the following question.

 

3. How much is the producer surplus, with out sales tax? Use a number, 2 decimal values, no commas, no space, no signs. *

 

4. What is the equilibrium point? *

a. (15 , 8 )

b. (8 , 15)

c. (8 , 25)

d. (15 , 21)

Expert Solution
Step 1

To find the equilibrium point, we equate demand to supply

,Qd=Qs25 - 1.25 P= -9 + 3 P4.25P=34P=344.25P*=8

Plugging in the value of P* in demand equation,

Q*=25-1.25*8= 25-10=15
