Consider the production and sale of Good C. There are NO externalities associated with the production or consumption of Good C. Assume that Good C is sold in a competitive market. Thus, you can assume that the S Curve = Cost Curve, and that the D Curve = WTP Curve.

3. Consider the production and sale of Good C.

There are NO externalities associated with the production or consumption of Good C.

Assume that Good C is sold in a competitive market. Thus, you can assume that the S Curve = Cost Curve, and that the D Curve = WTP Curve.

You are told that the following points are on the Demand and Supply schedules( and thus also are points on the Demand and Supply Curves) for Good C:

 

              Price          Qty. Demanded         Qty. Supplied

            $   3000               28                               58

            $   2750               30                               55

            $   2500               32                               52

            $   2250               34                               49

            $   2000               36                               46

            $   1500               40                               40

            $   1000               44                               34

            $     500               48                               28

 

a. ) What is the equilibrium price ( give a numerical answer)?

 

 

b.)  Solve for the Consumer’s Surplus ( CS) on unit number 34, IF it is sold at a price = $ 1500 

 

c.)  Solve for the total surplus ( to society) on unit number 34, IF it is sold at a price = $ 1500.

THE FOLLOWING IS A COPY OF THE DATA LISTED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PROBLEM:

              Price          Qty. Demanded         Qty. Supplied

            $   3000               28                               58

            $   2750               30                               55

            $   2500               32                               52

            $   2250               34                               49

            $   2000               36                               46

            $   1500               40                               40

            $   1000               44                               34

            $     500               48                               28

d.)  Solve for the Producer’s Surplus ( PS) on unit number 34, IF it is sold at a price = $ 2000

e.) Solve for the total surplus ( to society) on unit number 34, IF it is sold at a price = $ 2000.

f.)   What is the efficient level of output ( give a numerical answer)?
