In the discussion of Figure 3, there is a set of numbers indicating how much different buyers would be willing to pay for a book. Construct a table for these buyers, like the first three columns in Table 1 Indicating their consumer surpluses.
Using general equilibrium analysis, and taking into account feedback effects, analyze the effects of increased taxes on airline tickets on travel to major tourist destinations such as Florida and California and on the hotel rooms in those destinations.
As in the previous question, use the numbers and figure three to determine the producer surplus and complete your table to correspond to the remaining columns of Table 1.
The table that needs to be completed is:

Consider the first 2 units of the good that would be sold in this market (the vertical red line on the graph). Which answer choices are correct? If Kai and Mint sold one unit each to Gob and Yam at a price of $6, the trade would be mutually beneficial. At a price of $6, Gob would benefit by $3 because she is paying $6 for a unit of the good which is worth $9 to her. At a price of $6, Kai would benefit by $4 because she is getting $6 for a unit of the good which is worth $2 to her. For the first 2 units of the good there is potential gain from trade of $7 for each of the 2 units. For the first 2 units of the good sold the difference between the value to buyer and seller is $9 each. This means there is a potential gain from trade of $9 per unit. If the first 2 units of the…arrow_forwardDear tutor, please solve these True/False Questions. Thank You! Can it be efficient for one trader to consume all units of the goods while the other trader consumes nothing? In other words, does this point lie on the contract curve?

- In a market, the consumer surplus is 800,000 units and the producer surplus is 100,000. Which of the following statement is true? Group of answer choices The market is efficient since marginal benefit is equal to marginal cost. The market is inefficient since consumer surplus is greater than producer surplus and marginal benefit is equal to marginal cost. The market is efficient since consumer gain more than the producer. The market is inefficient since consumer surplus is greater than producer surplus.arrow_forwardScenario 8-2 Lincoln offers to do Katelyn's housework for $80 per week.

Suppose the market price is $29. What is the total consumer surplus? The market price decreases to $19. What is the total consumer surplus now? When the price falls from $29 to $19, how much does each consumer’s individual consumer surplus change? How does total consumer surplus change?arrow_forward
