7. Consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss with quantity restrictions The following graph shows the supply of (orange curve) and demand for (blue curve) computer keyboards. Determine the equilibrium price and quantity of computer keyboards. Based on this, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer surplus at the equilibrium price. Then, use the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing producer surplus at the equilibrium price. 200 180 PRICE (Dollars per computer keyboards) 8 160 140 120 100 80 9 20 0 Demand Supply 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 QUANTITY (Millions of computer keyboards) 45 60 441 Consumer Surplus Producer Surplus

Question 11 of 26 > O Macmillan Learning The graphs show the market for bags of potato chips, which is currently at an equilibrium price of $1.33 per bag and an equilibrium quantity of 5.33 million bags. Suppose that, in an attempt to lower blood pressure and reduce healthcare costs, the government imposes a $1.00 excise (or commodity) tax on potato chips. Suppose the government levies this tax on manufacturers for each bag of potato chips they produce. Please shift the appropriate curve or curves to illustrate this.

13. The table below gives part of the supply schedule for personal computers in the United States. Price Quantity Supplied before tech change Quantity Supplied after tech $1,100 $900 12,000 8,000 change 13,000 9,000 a) Calculate the price elasticity of supply when price rises from $900 to $1,100 using the arc elasticity formula (the midpoint method). b) Now suppose that technology changes such that at every price, 1000 more computers are supplied. Now, as prices rise from $900 to $1,100, is the elasticity of supply smaller than, larger than, or equal to the elasticity in part a)? c) Does the change in b) change the slope of the supply curve? Are slope and elasticity the same thing? Explain.

The demand and supply curves of pens in the city of Nairobi are represented by the following function:- Required: Quantity demanded Qd=20-4p Quantity supplied Qs = -10 + 6p Where p is the price per pen. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity. Examine the effect of a price ceiling set by the authorities at ii. Shs.2.00/= per pen.
USE TABLE #1: The supply curve intersects with the price axis at $_____. (Remember to use a comma, if a comma is needed and to include the decimal point and two numbers to the right of the decimal point).
3. Suppose that the free market equilibrium price of bourbon is $5.00 a bottle, and that the government sets a price floor of $6.00 a bottle on bourbon. The most likely result of this action is that: a. b. C. d. there will now be an excess supply of bourbon the market price of bourbon will remain at $5.00 a bottle. the demand curve for bourbon will shift outward. there will now be an excess demand for bourbon.

4. U.S. agricultural farmers are excited since the government announced an increase in subsidies even though the substitutes for agricultural goods that are imported have increased in demand; therefore, please illustrate by constructing a supply and demand graph, the direction in which the curves will shift and state the new equilibrium price and quantity; for example, state whether price and quantity increased, decreased, or are indeterminate. Please explain your rationale based on the determinants of demand and supply.
Quantity supplied will….
