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.

Consider the market for outdoor porch swings. The following graph shows the supply and the demand curve of the good. Assume that the price of home and garden goods is regulated, and the price of outdoor swings cannot exceed Preg, also shown on the graph below. The letters A to K denote certain areas on the graph. What area represents the consumer surplus (CS) in the absence of any regulation? What about producer surplus (PS)? What about total (economic) surplus (TS)? Is there a deadweight loss (DWL) if the price is not regulated? If yes, what area represents this DWL?

Please don't provide handwritten solution.... In May 1991, Car and Driver described a Jaguar that sold for 980,000 dollars. Suppose that at that price only 45 have been sold. If it is estimated that 375 could have been sold if the price had been 530,000 dollars. Assuming that the demand curve is a straight line, and that 530,000 dollars and 375 are the equilibrium price and quantity, find the consumer surplus at the equilibrium price
