Suppose anyone with a driver's license is capable of supplying one trip from the airport to the downtown business center on any given day. The long-run supply curve of such trips is horizontal at p = $50, which is the average cost of such trips. Suppose daily demand is Q = 1000 - 10p. Calculate the change in consumer surplus, producer surplus and social welfare if the city government restricts the number of trips to be 300 at maximum by issuing special licenses
Take this hypothetical situation: Suppose that the supply side of the market for for electric energy is comprised of two sellers: Seller 1 and Seller 2. Let P be the price of one unit of electric energy, and Q be the quantity of electric energy. Seller 1 owns a hydropower factory with a constant marginal cost of $3 and can produce a maximum of 10 units of electric energy. In addition, the hydropower plant has a requirement of a minimum of 3 units of electric energy. Seller 2 owns a solar factory to produce electric energy. This factory has a constant marginal cost of $5 and can produce a maximum of 5 units of electric energy. With this given information, please sketch the market supply by aggregating the two individual supplies. Please label the graph clearly for slopes, kinks, intercepts, etc.

Based on market research, a film production company in Ectenian obtains the following information about the demand and production costs of its new DVD:Demand: P = 1,000 – 10QTotal Revenue: TR = 1,000Q – 10Q2Marginal Revenue: MR = 1,000 – 20QMarginal Cost: MC = 100 + 10Qwhere Q indicates the number of copies sold and P is the price in Ectenian dollars.d. Suppose, in addition to the costs above, the director of the film has to be paid. The company is considering four options:i. A flat fee of 2,000 Ectenian dollarsii. 50 percent of the profitsiii. 150 Ectenian dollars per unit soldiv. 50 percent of the revenueFor each option, calculate the profit-maximizing price and quantity. Which, if any, of these compensation schemes would alter the deadweight loss from monopoly? Explain
Consider the market for Atlantic salmon. Petuna, Tasmania’s smallest salmon farm, and Huon Aquaculture, a large corporate supplier, are both producers of Atlantic salmon. The marginal cost curves for both firms are shown in the graph below: If the market price is $13 per kilo of salmon, how many kilos of salmon would Petuna supply? What about Huon Aquaculture? How many total kilos would they collectively supply? Is this allocation the most productively efficient way to produce this quantity of salmon? i will give thumbs up thanks
The competitive market for Botox procedures is characterized by the following supply and demand curves: QS = −2,000 + 10P and QD = 24,000 −16P where P is the price of the procedure and QS is the quantity supplied and QD is the quantity demanded. a: Solve for the equilibrium quantity and price in the Botox market.b: Neatly graph the market for Botox procedures, showing the vertical intercepts of the supplyand demand curves. Show the equilibrium.
In a given market three firms compete by choosing quantity simultaneously. The demand schedule is this market is P(Q) = 300 – 2Q. All the firms have the same cost function: C(q) = 140q - 100. (i) What is the equilibrium price, the quantity produce by each firm, the profit earned by each firm and the consumer surplus? Carefully explain your derivation and provide reasoning.
Suppose Tyco International has complete control over the plastic hangar market. Suppose the inverse demand for hangars is given by: P(Q) = 3 – Q/16000. Suppose that the total cost is given by: TC(Q) = 100 + Q What is the equilibrium price and quantity of hangars in the market if the market is competitive?
Supply and demand curves for an item of medical equipment are shown in the graph below. In order to compete with a new product by a rival company, the price is temporarily lowered to $20,000. What is the reduction (from equilibrium) in producer surplus that results from this artificially low price?
The demand function for a certain model of Blu-ray player is given by p = 600 0.5x + 2 where p is the unit price in dollars and x (in units of a thousand) is the quantity demanded per week. What is the consumers' surplus if the selling price is set at $200/unit? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)
Refer to Table 4-4. The table above lists the marginal cost of sunglasses by Miami Dade Shades, a firm that specializes in producing designer sunglasses. If the market price for a pair of Miami Dade Shades sunglasses is $175, producer surplus is $10. $35. $140. $230.
Suppose that the U.S. Congress passes legislation that imposes a one-time lump-sum tariff on the product that a foreign firm exports to the United States. a. What happens to the foreign firm’s marginal cost curve as a result of the lump-sum tariff? b. Will the lump-sum tariff cause the foreign firm to export more or less of the good? Explain carefully.
