QUESTION 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 Price (dollars per vaccination) 20 20 30 30 40 50 50 10 о 10 20 30 40 50 S=MSC MB L 60 MSB Quantity (thousands of vaccinations per year) In the above figure, the competitive (i.e. unregulated) market equilibrium quantity is?

Demand conditions in the market change. So, now the equation system describing (in inverse form) demand and supply in this competitive market is: p = 52 - 0.5 q, p = 2 + 0.1 q. Determine this market's equilibrium quantity q* (in units of the commodity).
V surplus is the difference between the highest price a consumer is willing to and the price the consumer actually pays. This component of economic surplus is illustrated in the diagram to the right by area Do Quantity (per time period)
Suppose goods X and Y are complimentary products. Which of the following are correct with respect to the competitive market model of supply and demand? (check all that apply) an increase in the price of good Y will cause an increase in demand for good X and reduce the quantity demanded for good Y an increase in the price of good Y will cause a decrease in demand for good X and reduce the quantity demanded for good Y a decrease in the price of good X will increase the quantity demanded for good X and cause a decrease in demand for good Y a decrease in the price of good X will increase the quantity demanded for good X and cause an increase in demand for good Y
Suppose the market for hats is competitive, with many small producers of hats, each of them unable to affect the market price of hats, and many consumers. And suppose there is an increase in the demand for hats. (a) How would an increase in demand affect the demand curve and supply curve for hats; and how would it change the equilibrium price and quantity of hats sold? (b) The Core Economics text observes that "price-taking is no longer a “Nash equilibrium". What is a “Nash equilibrium"? And why is price-taking no longer one? (c) When the market is not in equilibrium, it is said that the short side of the market dominates. What does this mean? (d) What are "economic rents"? How does "rent seeking" enter the process of price adjustment? (e) In what ways might the market for hats differ from "the labour market"?

This causes the marginal cost of producing each bushel of corn to increase by $150.00. This is because, oil is used to produce gasoline that farmers use to operate tractors, groundwater water pumps, and other farming equipment. Higher gasoline prices also affect the costs of transporting corn to consumer centers. This number may, of course, be unrealistic. But it will make the graph less messy and calculations less cumbersome. Calculate the following:

Problem I: The demand for a product is given by P = 360 − 2Q and the supply is P = 30 + 4Q. a) What will be the market outcome if the price is P = 200? (Shortage of 37.5) b) What will be the equilibrium price and quantity?(Q=55; P=250

Assume that the market for soap in Cintra is perfectly competitive. Demand is downward sloping and supply is upward sloping. All consumers and firms are identical. a) The government introduces a requirement that firms must make soap from biodegradable material only. Firms now need to use more costly ingredients to produce soap. What is the predicted impact of this restriction on market price and quantity in the Cintra soap market? Explain your reasoning. A diagram is not an explanation. Your explanation needs to be sufficient without a diagram. b) Data from the 2021 flu season shows a decrease in both market price and market quantity in the Cintra soap market. Over this same period, the price of hand sanitizer fell. Claim: The change in the price of hand sanitizer could explain the changes in the soap market. Agree, Disagree or It depends? Explain your reasoning. A diagram is not an explanation. Your explanation needs to be sufficient without a diagram.. c) Flu season has started. More…
Solve a Consumers' or Producers' Surplus Problem. A sports watch has a price-demand equation given by p= D(z) = 40-2-0174176a dollars, which gives the price per watch when a watches are demanded. The price-supply equation for the watch is given by p= S(x) = 0.6z+4 dollars, which gives the price per watch when z watches are supplied. If the equilibrium quantity is 11, find the consumers' surplus and the producers' surplus. The consumers' surplus is. (Your answer must begin with S.) The producers' surplus is Your answer must begin with $.)
