1. Consider a market with Qd=240 – 6p and Qs=2p. a. What’s consumer surplus? in the solution it says 1. Qd = Qs gives that 240 – 6p = 2p. Simplifying the equation yields 8p = 240, which gives p*= 30. Plugging P*=30 into either demand or supply gives Q*= 60. CS = 1⁄2 * (40 - 30) * 60 = 300. Where did they get 40 from?

How much consumer surplus do consumers receive when Px = $25?$ d. In general, what happens to the level of consumer surplus as the price of a good falls?The level of consumer surplus as the price of a good falls.
Suppose that the demand for a concert is represented by the following equation, where P is the price of concert tickets and QD is the quantity of tickets demanded:QD = 2200 - 24PThe supply of tickets is represented by the equation where P is the price of the tickets and QS is the quantity of tickets supplied:QS = -500 +79PGive all answers to two decimals. 1. Find the equilibrium price and quantity of tickets sold. 2. Calculate the consumer surplus and producer surplus at the equilibrium price and quantity. Use the formula for the area of a triangle, (½ × base × height), to calculate each value.
Suppose supply is ?= 4 + (1/4)?? and demand is ?= 58 ―(1/2)??. Suppose a tax of $3 per unit is placed on the good. On a diagram, show consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue, and the deadweight loss (Calculating exact amounts not required).
Suppose that the market for e-cigarettes can be represented by the following equations: Demand: P = 60 - 2QDSupply: P = 21 + 4QSwhere P is the price per device, and Q represents quantity of e-cigarettes, represented inmillions of devices consumed d) Calculate the new producer surplus and consumer surplus?e) How much revenue does the government raise from the tax?f) How does the sum of consumer surplus, producer surplus, and revenue after the tax(your answers to part d) and part e)) compare to the sum of producer and consumersurplus found before the tax? What does the differencebetween the two represent?
Show all work please thanks D.) Now, according to this graph, how much is the consumer surplus when price is set below the equilibrium level at P=$5? (Use the area of a triangle and the area of a rectangle, length x length) E.) According to this graph, how much is the producer surplus when price is equal at P= $5? (use the area of triangle: Base x Height x 1⁄2) F.)In the graph, how much is deadweight loss at a price of $5? (use the area of a triangle) please show calculations so I know how to arrive at those numbers! Thank you
Suppose a market in which demand equals Q=1200-10p and supply equals Q=20pa- What is the value of consumer surplus and what is the value of producer surplus?B - The government provided a subsidy of $10 per unit on the production of the commodity. What is the consumer's surplus now, and what is the producer's surplus? Are there losses associated with support and what is the size of these losses?
Consider the market for ice cream cones. Suppose that supply in this market is given by P^S = Q^S and demand is given by P^D = 30 - 4Q^D. Answer the following question.
