What is consumer surplus? How is it illustrated on a demand and supply diagram?
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.
Find the consumers' surplus and the producers' surplus at the equlibrium level for the given price-demand and price-supply equations. Include a graph that identifies the consumers' surplus and the producers' surplus. Round all values to the nearest integer. p=D(x)=35−0.05x; p=S(x)=15+0.05x The value of x at equilibrium is_____
Suppose the government of the island has decided to make tomatoes more affordable to consumers by imposing a fixed per unit subsidy. Thus, start with the original demand (Qd = 50 – 5P) and supply (Qs = 5P – 25) and analyze this new intervention, the subsidy. The subsidy works like this: tomato sellers receive a $4 refund from the government for each kilogram of tomatoes they sell to consumers. • Write down the equation for the new "effective supply" curve. • Determine the new equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price. • What is the price that the consumers will pay for their tomatoes? • What is the price that the producers will effectively earn for their tomatoes, inclusive of the subsidy? • How much will the government spend on tomato subsidies in this case in total? (Recall the units of measurement: P is the price in dollars per kilogram of tomatoes; and Q is the quantity of tomatoes, expressed in thousands of kilograms.) • Produce a new graph depicting the new, post-subsidy…

Suppose there is a linear downward-sloping demand curve and a linear upward-sloping supply curve for a good. The price of a substitute good increases and the price of an input to production also increases. Graph the original demand (D1) and supply (S1) curves, then dray the curves (D2 & S2) after the substitute good and input prices increase. How will the equilibrium price change after the substitute and input prices increase?
