Using a graph showing the concepts of producer and consumer surplus, discuss the argument ‘it would have been more efficient if supermarkets had increased the price of toilet paper in early 2020.’ Would raising the price of toilet paper have been unfair?
Using the following diagram (the equilibrium quantity is 5.5, the supply curve intersects the price axis at 3.5), answer these questions: a) If a tax of $2 were imposed, what price would buyers pay, and what price would suppliers receive? How much revenue would be raised by the tax? Compute the total consumer surplus, producer surplus, and welfare after the introduction of the tax.
b) If a subsidy of $5 were imposed, what price would buyers pay, and what price would suppliers receive? How much would the subsidy cost the government? What would be the consumer surplus and the producer surplus?
c) If the government imposed a binding price floor of $7 and compensated the producers by buying the excess surplus at the stated price: What would be the consumer surplus, the producer surplus, the government expenditures, and total welfare?

D.) Now, according to this graph, how much is the consumer surplus when price is set below the equilibrium level at P=$5? (Use the area of a triangle and the area of a rectangle, length x length)
E.) According to this graph, how much is the producer surplus when price is equal at P= $5? (use the area of triangle: Base x Height x 1⁄2)
F.)In the graph, how much is deadweight loss at a price of $5? (use the area of a triangle)
please show calculations so I know how to arrive at those numbers!
Thank you

Which of the following statements is true about a downward-sloping demand curve that is a straight line? The slope and the elasticity are the same at all points. The slope remains the same, but elasticity rises as you move down the demand curve. The slope remains the same, but elasticity falls as you move down the demand curve. The slope and the elasticity fall as you move down the demand curve 2. The best example of positive externality is: roller coaster rides. pollution. alcoholic beverages. education. 3. Suppose that college tuition is higher this year than last and that more students are enrolled in college this year than last year. Based on this information, we can best conclude that: despite the increase in price, quantity demanded rose due to some other factors changing. the demand for a college education is positively sloped. the law of demand is invalid. this situation has nothing to do with the law of demand. 4.
