II. What will happen to Demand(D), Supply(S), new Equilibrium Price(P*), and new Equilibrium Quantity(Q*) when the market condition changes as the following. Explain the reason and draw relevant graphs supporting your analysis. A. Market: Plywood in Florida Event: The Hurricane Center increases the probability of Hurricane to make a landfall in Florida B.

D(x) is the price, in dollars per unit, that consumers are willing to pay for x units of an item, and S(x) is the price, in dollars per unit, that producers are willing to accept for x units. Find (a) the equilibrium point, (b) the consumer surplus at the equilibrium point, and (c) the producer surplus at the equilibrium point. D(x)=(x−9)^2, S(x)=x^2+6x+57
4)Which of the following correctly describes consumers' surplus? * a)Maximum buying price - minimum selling price. b)rice received - price paid. c)Maximum buying price - price paid. d)Price received - minimum selling price
Consumer surplus is a measure of the difference between: a) The price which a consumer has to pay and the cost of producing the good (in a diagram, the area between the market price, and the supply curve). b) The consumer’s willingness to pay, and the cost of production (the area between the demand curve and the supply curve). c) The value which a consumer places on a unit of the good, and the market price (the area between the demand curve and the market price line). d) The marginal revenue from sales and the marginal cost of sales (the area between the marginal revenue and the marginal cost curves).
if the price fall from p0 to p1, the change in consumer surplus is equal to what area?
