7. Assume the market demand for bushels of corn is D: P = 1000 - QP and the market supply for corn is P = 160 +2Q³ a. Draw the market for corn. Be sure to label your curves, axes, and equilibrium. b. Calculate consumer surplus (CS) and producer surplus (PS) and indicate these areas on your graph from part a. Suppose the government implements a $760/bushel price floor at the behest of corn farmers. C. On the graph in part a, show the effect of the price floor. Calculate and clearly label the price and quantity with the price floor (PFLOOR and QFLOOR). I d. Calculate consumer surplus (CSFLOOR), producer surplus (PSFLOOR), and deadweight loss (DWL) with the price floor. Indicate these areas on the graph above.

Consider the data in the table below when you answer this question. (As the table suggests, the demand curve for this continuous good is a straight line and so is the supply curve. Use that information and the geometric method for calculating surplus.)

Suppose that the demand and supply curves for green peas are given by QD = 10 – 8P and QS = 2P, where P is the price per pound and Q is measured in thousands of pounds. If the price per pound of peas is $0.50, the market _____, so the price will _____. has excess demand of 3,000 pounds; rise has excess supply of 1,000 pounds; fall is in equilibrium; remain unchanged has excess demand of 5,000 pounds; rise

Sketch the inverse supply and inverse demand curves. b. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity. c. Compute consumer surplus (CS), producer surplus (PS), and total surplus. d. Suppose the Mayor of Celltown institutes a price floor of P = $250 in order to promote the new technology. It is illegal to sell cell phones at a price below P. What is the quantity transacted in the market with the price floor? e. Compute the change in CS and the change in PS. f. Compute the change in total surplus. If you were an economic advisor to the Mayor whose goal is to maximize the total surplus of the city, would you advise continuing the policy or not? Explain. g.

Colorado. The Mead market price of a motor scooter is given by the horizontal black line at $60. Each rectangle you can place on the following graph corresponds to a particular buyer in this market: orange (square symbols) for Bob, green (triangle symbols) for Cho, purple (diamond symbols) for Eric, tan (dash symbols) for Ginny, and blue (circle symbols) for Kenji. 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 $60. (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.) ?
