The market for used phones is perfectly competitive without externalities. Market demand is Q=378-2P and Market Supply is P=2Q+5. Suppose the Marginal Willingness to Pay (MWTP) increases by $10 at every quantity. What is market Consumer Surplus after this increase in MWTP? (Note: this question is not asking for the change in CS, just the CS after the increase in MWTP

which statement is true In the absence of market power and externalities, efficiency is achieved in a market when the sum of producer surplus and consumer surplus is maximized. The benefit received by sellers in a market is measured by producer surplus and producer surplus is calculated as the amount sellers receive for their product minus the cost of production. In a market, the marginal buyer is the buyer who would be the first to leave the market if the price were any higher. Moving production from a high-cost producer to a low-cost producer will decrease total surplus. Suppose the United States changed its laws to allow for the legal sale of a kidney and the government allowed a free market in organs for transplant then there would be a decrease in the price of a kidney and an increase in the shortage of kidneys for transplant. Total surplus in the market is the summation of consumer surplus and producer surplus and it is maximized at the market equilibrium in the absence of…
Q1. If there are no externalities a competitive market achieves economic efficiency. If there is anegative externality, economic efficiency will not be achieved because a. too much of the good will be produced. b.a deadweight loss will occur that is equal to the area under the demand curve for the good. c.too little of the good will be produced. d.economic surplus is maximized
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
then letting the market determine the price level and equilibrium amount is the most appropriate decision because the total surplus of consumers and producers is the most minimal the statement above is true/false?
Market demand for Mandrake roots is given by Q=419-3P and marketsupply is given by Q=3P. The government imposes a price ceiling of $10. What is the Consumer Surplus in the market with the price ceiling? Assume competitive markets.
(ALL OWNERSHIP GOES TO CENGAGE) Consider the market for air conditioning units. The following graph shows the demand and supply for air conditioning units before the government imposes any taxes. First, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity of air conditioning units 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. (image below) 2. Taxes and welfare Consider the market for air conditioning units. The following graph shows the demand and supply for air conditioning units before the government imposes any taxes. First, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity of air conditioning units in the absence of a tax. Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the…
