** PLEASE LOOK AT BOTH IMAGES, THEY COMPLEMENT EACHOTHER ** ### Demand and Supply Functions for BicyclesThe demand and supply for bicycles are described by the following equations:- **Demand Equation**: $ Q^d = 1000 - 10P $ - **$Q^d$** represents the quantity demanded of bicycles. - **$P$** represents the price of bicycles. - **Supply Equation**: $ Q^s = 2P - 20 $ - **$Q^s$** represents the quantity supplied of bicycles. - **$P$** represents the price of bicycles.To find the equilibrium price and quantity, set the demand equation equal to the supply equation:\[ 1000 - 10P = 2P - 20 \]This educational resource aims to help you understand the relationship between the price of bicycles and the quantity demanded and supplied in the market. Analyzing these equations will enable you to determine the equilibrium point where the market clears, meaning the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied. ### Understanding Producer Surplus and Deadweight Loss under a Price Ceiling#### Problem Statement:Consider the original demand and supply curves in a market. Now, suppose a price ceiling is imposed such that $ P = \$70 $. The question asks you to determine the Producer Surplus (PS) and Deadweight Loss (DWL) after the price ceiling is applied. The potential answers are:a. PS = $5500; DWL = $1200 b. PS = $3600; DWL = $270 c. PS = $2880; DWL = $270 d. PS = $2880; DWL = $1200 e. None of the above#### Explanation:To solve this problem, one must understand the concepts of Producer Surplus (the difference between what producers are willing to accept for a good versus what they actually receive) and Deadweight Loss (the loss of economic efficiency that occurs when the equilibrium outcome is not achieved).When a price ceiling is set below the equilibrium price, it results in a shortage because the quantity demanded will exceed the quantity supplied. The Producer Surplus decreases because producers receive a lower price for their goods, and some may exit the market.1. **Producer Surplus (PS)**: This is the area above the supply curve and below the price level up to the quantity sold.2. **Deadweight Loss (DWL)**: This is the lost consumer and producer surplus that occurs because the quantity of goods bought and sold is below the market equilibrium quantity. #### Graph Illustration (Draw a Graph):Since the problem prompts you to draw a graph, depict a typical supply and demand graph:- Label the vertical axis as Price (P) and the horizontal axis as Quantity (Q).- Draw the downward-sloping demand curve and the upward-sloping supply curve intersecting at the equilibrium.- Show the price ceiling line (horizontal) at $ P = \$70 $, below the equilibrium price.- Indicate the new quantities supplied and demanded at the $ P = \$70 $ price level.- Highlight the Producer Surplus area and the Deadweight Loss area.#### Options Analysis:Evaluate which of the given options correctly represents the outcomes of these economic measures after the imposition of the price ceiling.In absence of specific quantity or cost information:- One might explore for consistency with typical economic impacts: A significant drop in Producer Surplus post price ceiling and the resultant deadweight loss

Producer surplus refers to the area below the price and above the supply curve. Deadweight loss…

Now go back to original demand and supply. Suppose a price ceiling P=$70 is imposed. Wh Producer Surplus and deadweight loss (DWL) after the price ceiling? (please draw a graph a. PS=$5500; DWL-1200 b. PS=$3,600; DWL-$270 c. PS=$2,880; DWL-$270 d. PS=$2880; DWL $1200 e. None of the above

6. Al's Appliancemart has market power in selling refrigerators. He just got in a shipment of undamaged refrigerators. Al has determined that there are two different types of buyers. One group are high demanders who have a more inelastic demand but tend to be picky about how nice their appliances look (they won't buy a dented one). Other buyers, low demanders, have a relatively more elastic demand, but also don't mind having a refrigerator with some dents. He pays $600 for each refrigerator from his supplier. 3/3 He has calculated that the high and low demander demand functions follows: Low: P = 1,000-0.5QL (QL = 2,000 - 2P) High: P = 1,600 - QH (QH = 1,600 – P) How much profit could Al earn if he sells them as is? How many should he add dents to (with a hammer) in order to maximize profit? What price would he then put on the non-dented and the dented refrigerators and how many would he sell of each? What would his profit then be?
When the price of a bar of chocolate is $1, demand is100,000 bars. When the price rises to $1.50, demandfalls to 60,000 bars.

In this question, you'll deal with two goods, and you'll have to solve for cross-price elasticity using the percent change formula. When the old price of a file cabinet was $1,171 per cabinet, an old quantity of 212 desks were sold. After the price decreased to a new price of $823 per file cabinet, a new quantity of 379 desks were sold. Using these numbers, what is the cross-price elasticity of file cabinets for desks? Round your answer to 3 decimal places.
In a burns-road food street, there is a youngest 12-year-old entrepreneur. His most recent venture is selling homemade pasta that his mother makes. At price of Rs. 60 each he sells 100. At price 40 each he sells 300. Is this demand elastic or inelastic in this range, explain? If demand has the same elasticity for the price decline from 60 - 40, would cutting the price from 40 to 20 will further increase or decrease his total revenue. Please explain?
Define consumer behavior as it relates to patterns of consumption relative to utility, marginal utility, and law of diminishing marginal utility. How does the concept of price elasticity of demand & supply (“PED" &” PES”) relate to consumer choices and it’s influence on total revenue?
What is the current price of gasoline and how many gallons of gasoline do you currently buy per month? How many gallons would you buy next month and how would your behavior change if the price fell by $1.25 per gallon? Also, based on that information, what is your price elasticity of demand for gasoline? Be sure to show how you calculated your price elasticity of demand. current price of gas = $2.53 gallons of gas per month = 72 gallons no change for next month On the average I fill my tank up 3 times a month each time I go I spend $60-$65

8. Substitutes, complements, or unrelated? You work for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: penguin patties, raskels, and kipples. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, you know that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods. Run-of-the-Mills provides your marketing firm with the following data: When the price of penguin patties decreases by 1%, the quantity of raskels sold decreases by 18% and the quantity of kipples sold increases by 3%. Your job is to use the cross-price elasticity between penguin patties and the other goods to determine which goods your marketing firm should advertise together.

The municipal corporations in most parishes in Jamaica have initiated a program to charge residents for garbage disposal based on the number of cans filled per week. The parish of Kingston decided to increase its per-can price from $500 to $750 per week. In the first week, it was found that the number of cans that were brought to the curb fell from 500 to 450 (although the workers complained that the cans were heavier). The chief economist ran the numbers, informed the mayor that the demand for disposal was inelastic, and recommended that the price be raised to maximize town revenue from the program. Four months later, at a price of $1000 per can, the number of cans has fallen to 125 and town revenues are down. What might have happened?
