Why would a free market mar operate at a quantity greater than the equilibrium quantity? Hint: What would be required for at transaction to occur at that quantity?
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.
Please no written by hand solution In Example 9.1 LOADING... , we calculated the gains and losses from price controls on natural gas and found that there was a deadweight loss of $5.68 billion. This calculation was based on a price of oil of $50 per barrel and utilized the following equations: Supply: QS = 15.90 + 0.72PG + 0.05PO Demand: QD = 0.02minus 1.8PG + 0.69PO where QS and QD are the quantities supplied and demanded, each measured in trillion cubic feet (Tcf), PG is the price of natural gas in dollars per thousand cubic feet ($/mcf), and PO is the price of oil in dollars per barrel ($/b). If the price of oil were $65.00 per barrel, what would be the free-market price of gas? With a $65.00 price of oil per barrel, the free-market price of gas would be $nothing per thousand cubic foot. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)

6. Suppose the market demand curve for cranberries is given by the equationQd = 500 - 4P, while the market supply curve for cranberries (when P ≥ 50) isdescribed by the equation Qs = -100 + 2P, where P is the price of cranberriesexpressed in dollars per barrel, and quantity (Qd or Qs) is in thousands ofbarrels per year. At what price and quantity is the market for cranberries inequilibrium? Show this equilibrium graphically.
Only typed answer and please don't use chatgpt (I)Consider the market for milk in Saskatchewan. If p is the price of milk (cents per litre) and Qis the quantity of litres (in millions per month), suppose that the demand and supply curves formilk are given by: Demand: p = 225 -15QD Supply: p = 25 + 35QS a.Assuming there is no government intervention in this market, what is the equilibrium price and quantity? Equilibrium Price = $165 Quantity = 4Liters b. Now suppose the government guarantees milk producers a price of $2 per litre and promises to buy any amount of milk that the producers cannot sell. What are the quantity demanded and quantity supplied at this guaranteed price? Please answer B.
