Consider the market for wheat where demand is given by: Q=80-4p and supply is given by: Qs = 40 + 4p. Now suppose that, due to a market failure (an artificial shipping constraint), a maximum of 50.00 units of wheat can be supplied by firms in the market. The amount of the deadweight loss caused by the market failure is $. (Enter your answer rounded to the nearest penny and as a positive number.)

Consider a hypothetical market for copper (q), where q is measured in 1000 tons. Suppose the supply of virgin copper is Sv = 10+5q. Suppose that the supply for recycled copper is Sr = 15+2.5q. Demand for copper is P = 65 – 1.5q. Note, buyers don’t distinguish between recycled and virgin copper. a. Draw a graph that illustrates these supply and demand conditions. b. What will the equilibrium output level of copper be in this market? What will the equilibrium price be? How much of this copper will be recycled? Label these values on your graph in part a. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.
The supply and demand sets for a product produced by The Firm are S = {(q, p)|q = bp − a}, D = {(q,p)|q = c − dp} where a, b, c, d are positive constants. Suppose that, under new regulations associated with recovering costs associated with the global pandemic, the government wishes to raise as much money as possible by imposing an excise tax on products such as that produced by The Firm. Show that the optimum value of this excise tax is given by bc - ad 2bd T* = and derive an expression for the resulting government revenue.
he inverse demand function for portable electric heaters is P=220-Q and the supply function is P=20+3Q. Find the competitive equilibrium in the market of portable electric heaters (price and quantity) and represent it graphically. Compute the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total welfare corresponding to the equilibrium found at point (a) and represent them on the graph. The government believes portable electric heaters are a very inefficient way of space heating. For this reason, it introduces a specific tax of 20 for each portable electric heater sold. Find the new quantity exchanged on the market after the introduction of the tax, the price paid by the buyers, and that received by the sellers. Compute the new consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total welfare after the introduction of the tax and represent them on the graph. Does the government’s intervention generate a loss of welfare? If yes, explain why and compute it. Use the price elasticity of demand and supply in…
In a sunflower market, consumers have demand function for a sunflower given by P = -4Qd + 21 where Pis the market price of sunflower and Qd is quantity of sunflower demanded. On the other hand, suppliers of sunflower have supply function given by P = 2Qs + 3where P is the market price of sunflower and Qd is quantity of sunflower supplied. 10. Using demand and supply functions, calculate the market equilibrium price and quantity of sunflower. 11. Calculate for the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus at the market equilibrium (in values).

(a) Consider the market for natural gas (g), Here's the supply function QS = 11 + 4Pg + 0.4Po and the demand function:QD = -8Pg + 3.0Po. ; where Pg and Po are the prices of natural gas and oil, respectively. If the price of oil is $5, what is the market price of natural gas? (b) Now, suppose the regulated price of gas is fixed at $4.5, ceteris paribus, will there be a surplus or shortage? (c) Calculate the amount of surplus/shortage.
In a sunflower market, consumers have demand function for a sunflower given by P = -4Q+ 21 where P is the market price of sunflower and Qa is quantity of sunflower demanded. On the other hand, suppliers of sunflower have supply function given by P = 2Q, +3 where P is the market price of sunflower and Q is quantity of sunflower supplied. 10. Using demand and supply functions, calculate the market equilibrium price and quantity of sunflower. 11. Calculate for the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus at the market equilibrium (in values).
S S p' p* D Y* X' X* →数量 M The supply function and demand function of a certain agricultural product are as follows: S=2p- 40, D=-2p+120. p is the unit price. Let's assume that the home country is a small country. The international price of the product is P*=25. The government then decides to impose restrictions on the import quantity of this product and the limited amount is ='-' (see the graph). In an open economy situation, when M=40, please answer questions 15-18.15. Please calculate the consumer surplus of this country. 16. Please calculate the producer surplus of this country. 17. Please calculate the total surplus of this country. 18. Please calculate the deadweight loss of this country.
Assume the market for peanut butter is competitive with normally sloped supply and demand curves and the market is currently in equilibrium. If there is a decrease in supply resulting in a new market equilibrium, will the amount of consumer surplus increase, decrease, or remain unchanged relative to the amount of consumer surplus found at the initial market equilibrium?
