9) MARKET EQUILIBRIUM Suppose the demand for a product is given by p = d(q) = -0.4q + 300 and the supply for the same product is given by p = s(q) = 0.2q. For both functions, q is the quantity and p is the price, in dollars. a. Find the equilibrium point. (i.e. the market demand quantity and the market price) b. Find the consumer surplus at the equilibrium price. c. Find the producer surplus at the equilibrium price.
Question 1. Melissa buys an iPhone for $120 and gets consumer surplus of $80. a) What is her willingness to pay? b) If she had bought the iPhone on sale for $90, what would her consumer surplus have been?
7. Total economic surplus The following diagram shows supply and demand in the market for laptops. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity of laptops. Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to fill the area representing consumer surplus, and use the purple point (diamond symbol) to fill the area representing producer surplus. PRICE (Dollars per laptop) 250 225 200 175 150 125 100 75 50 25 0 0 Demand Supply 35 70 105 140 175 210 245 280 315 350 QUANTITY (Millions of laptops) Total surplus in this market is $ million. + Equilibrium A Consumer Surplus Producer Surplus (?)
5. Suppose the supply of apples sharply increased because of perfect weather conditions throughout the growing season. Assuming no changes in demand, explain the effect on the equilibrium price and quantity of apples.
4. In order to reduce farm output, raise farm prices, and thus raise farm incomes (revenues), the government pays farmers to set aside a portion of their land from production. Using a graph, explain in terms of the elasticity of demand for farm products why farmers may be better-off when harvests are low even if we ignore the money they receive from the set-aside program.
2. In most cases, a demand curve has a shape that we call "downward sloping". This means that it looks like a diagonal line going from the top left to the bottom right of a market graph. Why does demand usually have this shape? Explain in your own words. Make sure to include the concept of marginal benefit (a.k.a. marginal utility) in your explanation.

4) Suppose a market starts in equilibrium; then we observe a decrease in supply and a decrease in demand simultaneously. What can we say about the new equilibrium? Illustrate.
3. Consumer surplus for a group of consumers The following graph plots the demand curve (blue line) for several consumers in the market for motor scooters in Meade, a small town located in Kansas. The Meade market price of a motor scooter is given by the horizontal black line at $80. Each rectangle you can place on the following graph corresponds to a particular buyer in this market: orange (square symbols) for Dmitri, green (triangle symbols) for Frances, purple (diamond symbols) for Jake, tan (dash symbols) for Latasha, and blue (circle symbols) for Nick. Use the rectangles to shade the areas representing consumer surplus for each person who is willing and able to purchase a motor scooter at a market price of $80. (Note: If a person will not purchase a motor scooter at the market price, indicate this by leaving his or her rectangle in its original position on the palette.) PRICE (Dollars per motor scooter) 160 140 120 Dmitri Frances Jake 100 80 60 40 20 Dmitri Frances Market Price…
