of ride The accompanying diagram shows the demand curve of a typical customer at Fun World. a. Suppose that the price of each ride is $5. At that price, how much consumer surplus does an individual consumer get? (Recall that the area of a right triangle is ½ x the height of the triangle × the base of the triangle.) b. Suppose that Fun World considers charging an admission fee, even though it maintains the price of each ride at $5. What is the maximum admission fee it could charge? (Assume that all potential customers have enough money to pay the fee.) c. Suppose that Fun World lowered the price of each ride to zero. How much consumer surplus does an individual consumer get? What is the maximum admission fee Fun World could charge? $10 D 10 20 Quantity of rides (per day)

14. Over the past few year’s consumer tastes and the number of buyers in the market for a game called ‘pickle ball’ have increased dramatically. Thus, the demand for tickets to pickle ball events has increased. Before this all started the equilibrium price of a ticket to a pickle ball event was negative. This means that: A few years ago, there would have been a surplus of tickets even at a price of zero, now the invisible hand has pushed prices to greater than zero. A few years ago, the quantity of tickets demanded was less than quantity supplied. Pickle ball event tickets resembled the market for recyclable cardboard a few years ago Greater demand for pickle ball tournament tickets will lead to a greater demand – and higher pay – for professional pickle ball players. All of the above. B and D only

Imagine that you are buying Lego bricks. The number of bricks you are willing to buy is determined by the market price of bricks. Your willingness to buy is defined by the following: You are willing to buy 1 brick if the price is at or below $30 You are willing to buy 2 bricks if the price is at or below $25 You are willing to buy 3 bricks if the price is at or below $20 You are willing to buy 4 bricks if the price is at or below $15 What is your consumer surplus if the market price of bricks is $23? Assume that there are enough sellers available to sell as many as you want to buy at that price. Enter the number below. Do not include the “$” sign.
The city of Cedar Rapids has a large number of video poker arcades. The demand by patrons for the games (in thousands per week) is Qd = 180 - 4P and the supply is Qs = 2P - 30 where P is the price in cents charged to play a game. What is the equilibrium number (quantity) of games played? What is the equilibrium price? Draw a diagram depicting the equilibrium in this market.
