- Find The equilibrium price $ The quantity per firm is q= The market quantity is Q=Macmilla As with any supply and demand diagram, the of diamond rings is labeled on the vertical axis, and the of diamond rings demanded and supplied is labeled on the horizontal axis. price; quantity quantity: price supply; demand demand; supply consumer surplus; producer surplusSuppose production is reduced by 60 percent for each of the suppliers in this industry. Draw a new market curve and answer the following questions based on your new supply curve and the original demand curve.

- 18-19. In the competitive market for white sugar, consumer demand is given by P=100-0.050 and suppliers' behaviour is represented by the supply curve of P=1+0.005Q, where P is measured in dollars and Q is measured in kilos per month. Questions 17 through 19 refer to this market. 18. Imagine now that the government imposes a price ceiling of $5.00 per kilo on sugar, and that the ceiling is obeyed by all market participants. In the resulting equilibrium the total number of kilos of sugar exchanged in the market is equal to: A) 2100 G) 800 B) 2000 H) 600 A) $5 G) $70 C) 1900 I) 400 B) $10 H) $80 19. Suppose suppliers obey the price ceiling but consumers sell sugar on a black market. What will the black market price for sugar be? D) 1400 E) 1200 J) None of the above C) $10.50 I) $21 E) $50 F) 1000 D) $40 J) None of the above F) $60Suppose you discover a stream in northern Minnesota whose water has amazing powers for healing. You decide to sell bottles of the water. The market demand curve is linear and is given as follows: P = 30 - Q The marginal cost to produce this amazing water is $3 per bottle. a. In a competitive market, what price would this water sell for and how much would you sell? Show your calculations. P = _____, Q = ______ b. After taking this class, you realize that you have monopoly power in this market. To maximize your profits, what quantity would you sell and what would the price per bottle be? (Hint: what is marginal revenue for a monopolist?) Show your calculations. Pm = ____, Qm = ____ c. Now draw a graph to the right with price on the vertical axis and quantity on the horizontal axis and show the competitive market solution and the monopoly output and prices.PRICE (Dollars per used smart device) 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 4 0 Musashi Statement 1 Y X Rina ロロ Sean Yvette ☐ ■ Bob 2 3 4 QUANTITY (Used smart devices) ロロ L 5 Cho 0 ➜ 6 Region X (the purple shaded area) represents total producer surplus when the market price is equal to $ area) represents when the market price In the following table, indicate which statements are true or false based on the information provided on the previous graph. Assuming each seller receives a positive surplus, Rina will always receive more producer surplus than Sean. while Region Y (the grey shaded Producer surplus is larger when the price is $70 than when it is $50.

- In a perfectly competitive market for cheese with downward sloping demand and upward sloping supply, the equilibrium price is $12 per kilo. If the government imposes a price ceiling of $10, we can conclude that the government policy will: Select one: a. reduce the number of units sold only if demand is elastic b. decrease producer surplus and decrease total surplus c. reduce the number of units sold only if demand is inelastic d. decrease producer surplus but increase total surplus e. increase producer surplus but decrease total surplusQUESTION 8 In the above figure, the competitive (i.e. unregulated) market equilibrium quantity is? (Note #1: the x- axis is in thousands, so make sure to write out the entire number, i. e. 10 thousand as "10000") (Note #2: marginal benefit curve (MB) also represents demand)uppose the market demand for a good takes the form: Q subscript D equals 120 minus 1 fourth P and market supply takes the form: Q subscript S equals negative 30 plus 1 half P and production of each unit causes $30 in (external) damage. What is total surplus in this market? (Note: with external damages the overall benefit from a market is often referred to as "social welfare" instead of total surplus. Regardless, to answer this question subtract total external damages from consumer and producer surplus) QUESTION 8 40 40 S-MSC Price (dollars per vaccination) 20 20 30 30 50 60 10 10 MSB MB 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 Quantity (thousands of vaccinations per year) In the above figure, the competitive (i.e. unregulated) market…Note: make sure draw the graphs and label everything clearly! You will need to upload your answers. The market for apples is perfectly competitive, with the market supply curve is given by P 1/8Q and the market demand curve is given by P = 40 - 1/2Q. [4'] A) Calculate the resulting consumer surplus and producer surplus. And indicate the consumer surplus and producer surplus on the demand and supply diagram. [6'] B) Suppose the government impose a 10 dollars of sale tax on consumer. What will the new market price and quantity be? How much deadweight loss will be created by this policy? Explain.
- The market demand function for corn is Qd = 19 - 5P The market supply function is QS = 5P - 4 both quantities measured in billions of bushels per year. Instructions: Round all quantities to the nearest whole number and prices to 2 decimal places. a. What is consumer surplus at the competitive market equilibrium? b. What is producer surplus at the competitive market equilibrium? c. What is aggregate surplus at this equilibrium?Which of the following are characteristics of an efficient market? Select all that apply. Only producer surplus is maximized Only consumer surplus is maximized. Total surplus (aka social welfare) is maximized Quantity supplied equals quantity demanded. Deadweight loss equals zero. Willingness to pay exceeds willingness to sell at the margin. Willingness to sell exceeds willingness to pay at the margin. There is a tax. There is a price ceiling. There is a price floor. OO0O00Consider the market for a iced coffees. Each shop can make at most one drink. For shop A the marginal cost of making the coffee is $1.25, for shop B, it is $2.10, for shop C it is $3.00 and finally, for shop D it is $2.50. If the market price is P = $2.75 a. what is the quantity supplied? b. what is the total producer surplus?
