Suppose that the inverse demand and supply functions for natural gas are given by: P = 6+ Qs +0.1Po and P = 16 - Qd +0.1Po, where Qs and Qd are quantities of natural gas in billion cubic feet, P is the price of natural gas in USD/thousand cubic feet, and Po is the price of oil, equal to 60 USD/barrel. If a price ceiling is set at P' 20 USD/tcf, then the dead weight loss is:

Do answer all questions. Thanks a) Consider two substitute goods, diesel and compressed natural gas. You are given the demand and supply function of diesel as follows Q = 4.2PC -4PD and Q = 15 + 5PD + 0.30000000000000004PC ; where PD and PC are the prices of diesel(D) and compressed natural gas(C), respectively. If the price of CNG is $6, what is the market price of diesel? b) Now, suppose government decides to regulate the price of diesel and they fix the price at $7.0, ceteris paribus, will there be a surplus or shortage? Calculate the amount of surplus/shortage. (c) Suppose that the market for diesel is not regulated anymore. If the price of CNG has increased from $6 to $11, what will be the new market price of diesel?
Let's assume that each person in the U.S consumes an average of 37 gallons of soft drinks(nondiet) at an average price of $2 per gallon and that the U.S population is 294 million.

given that Qs = 100+3P and Qd = 400 - 2P Now suppose that a tax is placed on buyers so that Qd = 400 – (2P + T) where T istaxes. If T = 15, solve for the new equilibrium price and quantity. (Note: You aresolving for the equilibrium price for sellers and buyers).
Assume that demand for a commodity is represented by the equation P=20−2Qd.�=20−2��.Supply is represented by the equation P=−5+3Qs,�=−5+3��,where Qd and Qs are quantity demanded and quantity supplied, respectively, and P is price.Instructions: Round your answer for price to 2 decimal places and enter your answer for quantity as a whole number. Using the equilibrium condition Qs = Qd, solve the equations to determine equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity.

This problem involves solving demand and supply equations together to determine price and quantity. a. Consider a demand curve of the form QD=-2P+20, where QD is the quantity demanded of a good and P is the price of the good. Graph this demand curve. Also draw a graph of the supply curve Qs =2P-4, where Qs is the quantity supplied. Be sure to put P on the vertical axis and Q on the horizontal axis. Assume that all the Qs and Ps are nonnegative for parts a, b, and c. At what values of P and Q do these curves intersect-that is, where does QD = Qs ? b. Now, suppose at each price that individuals demand four more units of output-that the demand curve shifts to QD - 2P+24. Graph this new demand curve. At what values of P and Q does the new demand curve intersect the old supply curve-that is, where does QD = Qs ? c. Now finally, suppose the supply curve shifts to Q's=2P-8. Graph this new supply curve. At what values of P and Q does QD=Q's? Show all working calculations and label garph with…
