1. Market for natural gas The following are the demand - supply equations representing the natural gas market. Qd = 50 - 2P Qs = 20 + Pa. Solve for the market equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity. Also draw the demandsupply curves represented by the above equations. b. Calculate the consumer surplus and the producer surplus in this market. c. The government sets a price ceiling equal at $6. Does this price ceiling create a shortage or a surplus? Calculate this shortage/surplus. d. Calculate the new consumer surplus and the new producer surplus after the price ceiling goes into effect. Also calculate the deadweight loss (if any).

You are in charge of improving utilization of resources at a restaurant that is taking only online orders for delivery to the specific addresses. There are three kind of orders received: vegetarian, non-vegetarian and gluten free. For every vegetarian order, the chopping and dicing section, the deli-cheese section, the stir fry kitchen, and marination are used. For non-vegetarian orders; the chopping and dicing section, the deli-meat section, the marination section, and the non-veg kitchen is used. In addition to this 50% of non-vegetarian dishes go through the grilling section while the other 50% go through the baking (oven) section. Gluten free dishes go through the chopping and dicing section and the stir fry kitchen only. The typical order size consists of 25 non-veg orders, 12 veg orders and 5 gluten free orders. Marination of vegetarian dishes take 5 minutes while that of non-vegetarian dishes 1 hour. Chopping and dicing for 10 vegetarian/gluten-free dishes take an hour, while…
