Consumer surplus is the difference between what a consumer is willing to pay and what they actually pay for a good or service. ... The producer surplus is the difference between the actual price of a good or service–the market price–and the lowest price a producer would be willing to accept for a good. Given the following information, calculate both the producer and consumer surplus a. P- 140 = - .5q b. MC = 10 + 4q show all working and draw graph
Beginning with the initial equilibrium, suppose the government sets the price of a pound of almonds at $14. On a graph, identify consumer surplus, producer surplus, and the deadweight loss.
In a supply-demand diagram, a real estate market rent control regulation keeps the rent for 1 bedroom apartments below the market price. What consumer surplus is gained by consumers that is also producer surplus lost by producers? What consumer surplus is lost by consumers that is not gained by producers? What producer surplus is lost by producers that is not gained by consumers?
Consider a free market with demand equal to QQ = 900 − 10PP and supply equal to QQ = 20PP. Now the government imposes a $15 per unit subsidy on the production of the good. What is the consumersurplus now? The producer surplus? Why is there a deadweight loss associated with the subsidy, and whatis the size of this loss? Demonstrate in a graph.
Draw a FULLY labeled graph that shows the welfare effects of imposing a binding price ceiling in the market for baby formula. USE LETTERS to label the relevant areas of the graph and (separate from the graph) clearly indicate (i) old and new consumer surplus (ii) old and new producer surplus (iii) any deadweight loss (iv) any transfers.
Consider the market for mountain bikes. The following graph shows the demand and supply for mountain bikes before the government imposes any taxes. First, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity of mountain bikes in the absence of a tax. Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer surplus (CS) at the equilibrium price. Next, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing total producer surplus (PS) at the equilibrium price. (screen shot 1) Suppose the government imposes an excise tax on mountain bikes. The black line on the following graph shows the tax wedge created by a tax of $80 per bike. First, use the tan quadrilateral (dash symbols) to shade the area representing tax revenue. Next, use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer surplus after the tax. Then, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area…
The total amount of consumer surplus and producer surplus is at its maximum when A. consumers and producers are allowed to trade at the market clearing price. B. free market exchanges do not exist. C. the government imposes a price floor that is higher than the market clearing price. D. the government imposes a price ceiling that is lower than the market clearing price.
D(x) is the price, in dollars per unit, that consumers are willing to pay for x units of an item, and S(x) is the price, in dollars per unit, that producers are willing to accept for x units. Find (a) the equilibrium point, (b) the consumer surplus at the equilibrium point, and (c) the producer surplus at the equilibrium point. D(x)=(x−9)^2, S(x)=x^2+6x+57
Discuss how the equilibrium price and quantity change when a change in demand occurs and the supply stays constant, and when a change in supply occurs and the demand stays constant. How do price controls affect the market? Provide a real-world example that takes consumer surplus and producer surplus into consideration.
This table refers to five possible buyers' willingness to pay for Frapuccino. Buyer Willingness To Pay David $8.50 Laura $7.00 Megan $5.50 Mallory $4.00 Audrey $3.50 Refer to the table above to answer the following questions. If the market price is $5.70, who will buy Frapuccino and what will be the total consumer surplus in the market? If government imposes a $2.30 tax on a unit of Frapuccino, leading the price of Frapuccino to$8.00, who will buy Frapuccino? What will be the dead weight loss associated with this Frapuccino market?
Suppose that weekly demand for loaves of bread (in thousands) is given by P = 10 – Q, and supply is given by P = 0.25Q. On a graph, show the market equilibrium price and quantity. Calculate producer and consumer surplus at the market equilibrium. Suppose that the government believes that the price is too high and decides to impose a price ceiling of $1. Demonstrate the new equilibrium quantity on your graph. Calculate the new producer and consumer surplus at the ceiling price.
Which of the variables (consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss) have decreased due to the price floor of $9.00 set by the government? Deadweight loss Producer surplus Market equilibrium price Consumer surplus
