On a clean sheet of paper, draw the market described by the following supply and demand functions: QP (P) = 10 – Q$ (P) 2P 꽃 and - 5 4P – 12. a) Draw a graph of the market and solve for the market equilibrium. Solve for the producer surplus in the equilibrium, and indicate the corresponding area in the graph. b) Would producers benefit if a price floor of $10/unit is imposed? Calculate the change in their surplus, as well as deadweight loss (if there is any), and indicate all these in a new graph.

In a sunflower market, consumers have demand function for a sunflower given by P = -4Q+ 21 where P is the market price of sunflower and Qa is quantity of sunflower demanded. On the other hand, suppliers of sunflower have supply function given by P = 2Q, +3 where P is the market price of sunflower and Q is quantity of sunflower supplied. 10. Using demand and supply functions, calculate the market equilibrium price and quantity of sunflower. 11. Calculate for the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus at the market equilibrium (in values).
What is the producer surplus in the market equilibrium? Again, the equations are: Q = 3P-90 Qd = 400 - 5P
Suppose a market with two customers. Their demands are specified by: Q1 = 100 - 2P and Q2 = 150 - 3P. The market supply equations is: Supply: Qs = 9P. What is the equilibrium quantity in the market?
Given, price functions for quantity supplied, Qs and quantity demanded Qd: P = 40 - 2Qd p = 10 + 3Qs If the price increases by 20%, find the following: I) New Consumer Surplus II) New Producer Surplus III) New Total Surplus
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
In the market for hand sanitizers the demand function is given by: q = 80 - p, where q is the quantity of hand sanitizers (in thousands) and p is the price of hand sanitizers in dollars. Suppose the current market price for hand sanitizers is $4. 1. What is the inverse demand function equal to? Draw it in a diagram. 2. At a price of $4, what is the level of consumer surplus? 3. Due to the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, people's preferences for sanitizing their hands change in favor of hand sanitizers. In fact, for any given price of hand sanitizers, people now want to purchase 20 units (in thousands) more hand sanitizers. o What is the new demand curve? o What is the new inverse demand curve? o Draw the new inverse demand curve in your diagram. 4. Suppose that after the increase in demand, the new price becomes $8. What is consumer surplus equal to at this new price (and with the new inverse demand curve)? 5.

What is the consumer surplus in the market equilibrium? Again, the equations are: Qs = 3P-90 Qd = 400 - 5P
Consider a market with the equilibrium quantity = 100 and the equilibrium price = 50. Without further information on the market, can we answer the quantity that maximizes the total surplus? If we can, answer the quantity. If we cannot, answer “Cannot”.
