Because he has to pay only $2.25 per Suppose the price of burrito bowls were to fall to $1.50 per bowl. At this lower price, Shen would receive a consumer surplus of $ 6th burrito bowl he buys. The following graph plots the monthly market demand curve (blue line) for burrito bowls in a hypothetical small economy. from the
Corn is a very valuable product for which the U.S. government routinely offers subsidies. With no price support, the equilibrium price for corn is $300 per ton and the equilibrium quantity is 500 million tons per year. Suppose that the government agrees to pay farmers $350 for every ton of corn they produce and can't sell in the market. According to the farmer's market supply curve, 600 million tons per year is supplied at the price of $350 a ton, so production should increase to this amount. However, domestic users of corn cut back their purchases. Only 450 million tons a year is demanded at the price of $350 a ton, and purchases decrease to this amount. Farmers continue to produce 500 million tons of corn per year, so because they produce a greater quantity of corn than domestic buyers are willing to purchase, something must be done with the surplus. To make the price support work, the government decides to buy the surplus. a. In this example, how many million tons does the…
Please helo me with this question There are 50 residents that live in a small town in California. Each resident uses electricity and there is one power station that produces electricity for the residents from coal. Each residents' demand for electricity is Q = 10 - 2P and the supply function for the power plant is Q = 150P. For each unit of electricity that the power station produces, there is a corresponding release of pollution that leads to asthma and other health problems for the 50 residents. The marginal damage of each unit of electricity produced, per person, is $.05. a. What is the market equilibrium price and quantity per unit of electricity? b. What is the efficient Pigouvian tax per unit of pollution? c. The government of this small California town decides to impose the efficient Pigouvian per unit tax on the power station. What is the new social optimum price and quantity per unit of electricity? d. What is the government tax revenue? e. What is the gain in total…
Consider the market for apartments. The market price of each apartment is $300,000, and each buyer demands no more than one apartment. Suppose that Lorenzo is the only consumer in the apartment market. His willingness to pay for an apartment is $480,000. Based on Lorenzo's willingness to pay, the following graph shows his demand curve for apartments. Shade the area representing Lorenzo's consumer surplus using the green rectangle (triangle symbols).
Continue your analysis of the video poker market in Cedar Rapids: demand by patrons for the games (in thousands per week) is Qd = 180 - 4P and the supply is Qs = 2P - 30 where P is the price in cents charged to play a game. Now suppose that the city of Cedar Rapids passes a new law which requires that all video poker arcades contribute m cents to a city charitable fund for each game played on their machines. This is, essentially, an excise tax. In a new diagram, show the effect of the new law on the market and explain this effect. (Do not try to give an algebraic solution; just show what happens graphically and provide a description. Please be sure to illustrate how the tax of m cents shifts a specific curve, consistent with the approach we’ve taken in this course in modeling taxes and subsidies. Clearly indicate the distance by which the curve has shifted. Recall that the direction of the shift carries a specific meaning in economics for depicting taxation/subsidies.) Graphically…
Consider the market for electric vehicles. The market price of each electric vehicle is $200,000, and each consumer demands no more than one electric vehicle. Suppose that Jake is the only consumer in the electric vehicle market. Their willingness to pay for an electric vehicle is $350,000. Based on Jake's willingness to pay, the following graph shows his demand curve for electric vehicles. Shade the area representing Jake's consumer surplus using the green rectangle (triangle symbols).

which statements are true Suppose favorable weather provides increases apple production. As a result, consumer surplus in the market for orange juice decreases because the supply curve of apple juice shifted to the The particular price that results in quantity supplied being equal to quantity demanded is the best price for consumers because it maximizes consumer surplus. The willingness to pay is the maximum amount that a buyer will pay for a good. Dora visits a clothing store to buy new dress suit. She is willing to pay $100 for the suit, but buys one on sale for $75. Dora's consumer surplus from the purchase is $75. If production technology improves in the shoe industry, consumer surplus for shoe buyers will increase because the rightward shift of supply caused the price to fall. Suppose that the equilibrium price in the market for heating oil is $3.50 per gallon. If a law imposed a price ceiling on the market and reduced the maximum legal price for heating oil to $3.00 per gallon…
You are an economist in the Internal Revenue System and just heard of a plan to increase the sales tax on a certain widget by $.06. Last year customers purchased about 10 million widgets. The demand curve in the last year was such that a $.01 increasein price decreases sales by 100,000. A study showed that a $.01 increase in price resulted in producers willing to provide 50,000 more widgets to the market. Congress stated that this$.06 tax will increase government revenues by $600,000 and raise the price of each widget by $.06. Is this correct? If so, explain why this is the case and, if not, what is the increase in prices and revenues?

Solve a Consumers' or Producers' Surplus Problem. A sports watch has a price-demand equation given by p= D(z) = 40-2-0174176a dollars, which gives the price per watch when a watches are demanded. The price-supply equation for the watch is given by p= S(x) = 0.6z+4 dollars, which gives the price per watch when z watches are supplied. If the equilibrium quantity is 11, find the consumers' surplus and the producers' surplus. The consumers' surplus is. (Your answer must begin with S.) The producers' surplus is Your answer must begin with $.)
You are considering buying a monthly metro pass for the subway at $150 or paying $4 per ride. Your monthly demand curve is P = 60 - 2Q where Q is the number of rides per month. Given this information, your consumer surplus will be $750 buying each ride and $900 with the monthly pass. $600 buying each ride and $700 with the monthly pass. $784 buying each ride and $900 with the monthly pass. $784 buying each ride and $750 with the monthly pass.
