Calculate equilibrium price and quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus using the integration method, given:
Demand: P = - Q2 - 8Q + 70
Supply: P = Q2 - 2Q + 14
Determine and compare the amount of consumer surplus and producer surplus if the service is provided by competitive firms and by the monopolist.
Q32
Let's assume we are referring to the Canadian market for Random Access Memory (RAM) storage. If the price of RAM increases:
Multiple Choice
total revenue for RAM producers will decrease if demand for RAM is price inelastic.
the consumer surplus for Canadian consumer will decrease.
consumers will buy more because RAM is an inferior good.
the consumer surplus of Canadian will increase.
total revenue for RAM producers will increase if demand for RAM is price elastic.
