** 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

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

Nile.com, the online bookseller, wants to increase its total revenue. One strategy is to offer a 10% discount on every book it sells. Nile.com knows that its customers can be divided into two distinct groups according to their likely responses to the discount. The accompanying table shows how the two groups respond to the discount. Group A Group B(sales per week) (sales per week) Volume of sales beforethe 10% discount 1.55 million 1.50 million Volume of sales afterthe 10% discount 1.65 million 1.70 million A. Using the midpoint method, calculate the price elasticities of demand for group A and group B. B. Explain how the discount will affect total revenue from each group. C. Suppose Nile.com knows which group each customer belongs to when he or she logs on and can choose whether or not to offer the 10% discount. If Nile.com wants to increase its total revenue, should discounts be offered to group A or to group B, to neither group, or to both groups?

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?
The Economists Who Studied All-You-Can-Eat Buffets (The Atlantic, 27 Dec 2014)[1] Buffets are now big businesses, particularly in Las Vegas. The buffets in Vegas are no longer the dollar bargains they once were in the late 1950s. They're fancy productions with Kobe beef and king crab legs that can cost over $50. New research shows that paying that much for a buffet might actually make the food taste better. Three researchers did an all you can eat (AYCE) buffet field experiment to test whether the cost of an AYCE buffet affected how much diners enjoyed it. They conducted their research at an Italian AYCE buffet in New York, and over the course of two weeks 139 participants were either offered a flier for $8 buffet or a $4 buffet (both had the same food). Those who paid $8 rated the pizza 11 percent tastier than those who paid $4. Moreover, the latter group suffered from greater diminishing returns—each additional slice of pizza tasted worse than that of the $8 group.
