• You are given a task for analysis the market for Sport Bike. You found that when the market price of bike is $500 the market demand is 9,200 bikes, whereas the market supply is 6,000 bikes. Yet, when the price rises to $650 the market demand is 6,800 bikes but the market supply is 8,000 bikes. Your tasks are: a) Define the equations of market demand and market supply for bike. b) Find the equilibrium-price and equilibrium– quantity and draw a graph to show this market. c) Estimate the consumers' surplus, producers' surplus and bike market's surplus.

1. Suppose that a small, tropical country produces mangoes for domestic consumption and possibly for export. The national demand and supply curves for mangoes in this country are given by the following: P = 50 - M P = 25 + M (national demand) (national supply) where P denotes the relative price of mangoes and M denotes the quantity of mangoes (in metric tons). (a) Illustrate these relationships geometrically. What is the autarky price and quantity (b) exchanged? (c) Suppose that the world price of mangoes is 45. Will this small country export mangoes? If so, how many tons?
