a) Use the information in the table to graph supply & demand curves. Show Consumer Surplus and Producer Surplus on your graph. b) Find the equilibrium price and quantity, using both the table and the graph for a more precise answer. Calculate total revenue at the equilibrium. c) Suppose the Mayor decides that deep fried green chiles cost too much. Show the impact of a price ceiling at $6.00 on your graph. What would happen to the quantity produced and consumed? What would happen to total revenue?

Consider the market for mountain bikes. The following graph shows the demand and supply for mountain bikes before the government imposes any taxes. First, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity of mountain bikes in the absence of a tax. Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer surplus (CS) at the equilibrium price. Next, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing total producer surplus (PS) at the equilibrium price. (screen shot 1) Suppose the government imposes an excise tax on mountain bikes. The black line on the following graph shows the tax wedge created by a tax of $80 per bike. First, use the tan quadrilateral (dash symbols) to shade the area representing tax revenue. Next, use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer surplus after the tax. Then, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area…
