The market for paperback detective novels is perfectly competitive. Suppose we have identical book readers, and each individual book reader's demand for paperback novels is given by P=123-5Q.

The following graph displays four demand curves (LL, MM, NN, and 00) that intersect at point A. 200 180 N. 160 M 140 E 120 t. 100 80 60 40 N. 20 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 200 QUANTITY (Units) A + PRICE (Dollars per unit)
When excess demand exists for tickets to a major sporting event or a concert, profit opportunities exist for scalpers. The table below indicates the quantities demanded at various prices, fill in the values for the supply curve for tickets to a sold-out venue that holds 20,000 people. Price per Ticket Quantity of Tickets Demanded Quantity of Tickets Supplied 20,000 $50 45,000 100 40,000 20,000 150 35,000 20,000 200 30,000 20,000 250 25,000 20,000 300 20,000 350 15,000 20,000 20,000 The fact that there is a face-value price of $50 per ticket could be illustrated on a graph as a horizontal line at $50 The equilibrium price that will prevail in the market if scalpers are allowed to operate in the black market would be $ 300 per ticket. The quantity of tickets demanded at the face-value price is 45,000 tickets. For this example, a shortage of tickets exists at the face-value price.

Assume your theater will not sell a ticket for less than 80% of regular price $$$ (my assigned price is 145), but will sell one ticket for one performance at 80% of regular price plus $5 and two performances for 80% of regular price plus $10 for each ticket, for small numbers of movies, x, the theater’s supply curve is modeled by p=S(x). Write down your supply function. Find the equilibrium point. (make sure to provide both x and y coordinates and label it on the graph)
