Suppose that a firm with market power can perfectly price-discriminate and faces the demand function q = 400 – 4P. The firm's total production costs are given by MC(q) = 2q + 0.12q. Suppose that under perfect price-discrimination, the firm produces 20.98 units, and its total surplus is $1,233.44. Identify consumer surplus, producer surplus, and the deadweight loss in this market scenario. Give your answers to two decimal places. consumer surplus: $ producer surplus: $ deadweight loss: $
Assume perfect competition takes place in the market for hotel rooms. The current market equilibrium price for a standard room is RM300 per night. c. Show the loss in net benefits from hotel use resulting from the tax.
Suppose the following demand and supply function: Qd = 750 – 25P Qs = -300 + 20 P Find consumer and producer surplus
A perfectly competitive market is characterized by the following inverse demand function and inverse supply function where Q is output and P is the price in dollars. Demand: P = 100 – QD Supply: P = 10 + QS Suppose that a price ceiling of $30 is set by the government. Calculate the consumer surplus, the producer surplus, and the deadweight loss as a result of the government price ceiling
Suppose the following demand and supply function: Qd = 750 – 25P Qs = -300 + 20 P Find consumer and producer surplus
For years the government has subsidized higher education through grants; consider the demand and supply for college credit hours at a local private liberal arts collegeQD = 6,000 – 300PQS = 700P – 500 where P is the price, in hundreds of dollars, and Q is the number of credit hours per semester. Suppose the government subsidizes credit hours at a rate of $120 per hour. Calculate changes in consumer surplus. What is the size of the deadweight loss?
A town wants to build a zoo. The zoo has fixed costs of $3,000,000.00. The town has 120,000 people. It can either charge a tax or charge a price per visit. The demand function each person has is Q = 10 – P. If the town wants to break even on its fixed costs, what tax should be charged. What is the consumer surplus in this case. What price "P" should be charged to break even. What is the consumer surplus in that case? Which choice is better for the public?

The market for N-95 masks is perfectly competitive. Market Demand is given by Q=486-2P and Market Supply is given by Q-2P. The government imposes a per-unit tax of $5, what is the market quantity with the tax? Note: you don't need to know who pays the tax to answer this question.
Consider a competitive industry with a perfectly elastic supply curve given by p = 20. The demand curve facing this industry is p(q) = 60-q. Find the per-unit tax that will maximize tax revenue to the government.
The aggregate demand for a cup of coffee in Chicago for each day is given by q = 4,000 - 500 p, where p is the price of a cup of coffee. If the price is $4, then the market marginal revenue is
