Which statement is true? Group of answer choices A competitive market maximises total surplus as all the gains from trade are realized. In a competitive market all trade for which the MB is greater than or equal to the MC of production take place. If output was increased beyond the traded in a competitive market total surplus would decrease. The competitive equilibrium outcome is Pareto efficient. All of the above.

The producers' surplus when A units are produced at price B is the area of the shaded region in the figure shown on the right. Find the producers' surplus at the given sales level for the supply curve given below. p=11+ + x = 280 20 The producers' surplus at sales level 280 is $ Price 0 P = g(x) (A, B) Quantity
Under one plan for Social Security reform, younger workers can put up to $1,000 of their payroll taxes into an individual retirement account (IRA) in exchange for lower benefits when they retire. However, advocates of this plan typically offer a method of ensuring that funds in an IRA are turned into benefits that work in a Social Security–like fashion (e.g., monthly payments until one dies). (a) What restriction could policy makers implement to ensure that money in an IRA be paid similarly to Social Security? (b) Why wouldn't policy makers simply allow individuals to accept a lower level of Social Security benefits in exchange for a lower level of taxation without also mandating that individuals put the saved tax funds in an IRA?
A village has a water reservoir that individuals A and B have access rights to. Both users A and B want to consume water from the reservoir. The total supply of water there is limited to 14 due to a dry weather this year. User A has inverse demand function: P = 20-Q. User A has marginal cost of pumping water from the reservoir (so that he can irrigate his farm): MC=4. For user B, her inverse demand function is P =10-0.5Q. User B has marginal cost of pumping water (so that she can grow fish in her water garden): MC=2. User A's marginal net benefit function (MNB) is MNBA= QA. User B's MNBB= QB.
a) State and explain Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem and its implications for social choice. b) State and explain the First and Second Welfare Theorem and discuss their economic implication and significance. c) Explain the concept of minimum efficient scale and its relevance for determining when a market is likely to become a monopoly or a competitive market.
Suppose the equilibrium price of milk is $3 per gallon but the federal government sets the market price at $2 per gallon. The result will be: excess supply excess demand surplus shorting the market QUESTION 29 Suppose your utility function for food and clothing is (F,C)= 2F+4C. If you reduce your food consumption by 2 units, how much do you have to increase your clothing consumption in order to maintain the same utility level? 1 unit 00 2 units 4 units 8 units QUESTION 30 The aggregate demand for good X is Q = 20 - P, and the market price is P = $8. What is consumer surplus at this price? $72 $96 $144 $168
Suppose the demand schedule in a market can be represented by the equation QD=500-10P, where QD is the quantity demanded and P is the price. Also, suppose the supply schedule can be represented by the equation Q8=200+ 10P, where QS is the quantity supplied. Refer to Scenario 4-1. Suppose the price is currently equal to 10 in this market. Is there a shortage or surplus in this market, and how large is the shortage/surplus?
Last Saturday, Sammy supplied 100 baskets of strawberries at the farmer’s market when the equilibrium price was $3. This Saturday, he supplied 120 baskets of strawberries when the equilibrium price increased to $4. Sammy’s producer surplus did not change; it was the same this Saturday as it was last Saturday.

As you can see from the article in the prior problem, "Rents Hit All-Time Highs amid Job Growth and Low Vacancy Rates," some people move out as a result of rent increases, while others are ready to pay an even higher rent. Rent control adds yet another aspect by setting a ceiling on what the rental price can ultimately rise to. The supply and demand model can be used to illustrate the mechanism that leads to all these different market outcomes. Consider the market for rental properties in Los Angeles and Orange counties in Southern California. Suppose that while average earnings increased by about 10% in Los Angeles and Orange counties, the average rent has increased by 20%. (Assume for a moment that there are no rent control regulations.) Adjust the following graph to illustrate the rent increase by either using the black point (cross symbol) or by shifting the supply and demand curves. The Market for Rental Properties in Los Angeles and Orange Counties 4000 3600 Supply Demand 3200…
Suppose the government of the island has decided to give consumers a more attractive price for tomatoes by imposing a fixed, per unit subsidy. Thus, start with the original demand (Qd = 450 - 100P) and supply (Qs = 50P) and analyze this new intervention, the subsidy. The subsidy works like this: each tomato seller receives a 3-dollar refund for each kilogram of tomatoes sold. Write down the equation for the new "effective supply" curve. Determine the new equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price. What is the price that the consumers will pay for their tomatoes? What is the price that the producers will effectively earn for their tomatoes, inclusive of the subsidy? How much will the government spend on tomato subsidies in this case in total? (Recall the units of measurement: P is the price in dollars per kilogram of tomatoes; and Q is the quantity of tomatoes, expressed in thousands of kilograms.) Graphically depict the new equilibrium complete with (solved) values for the new…
Pam is a paper salesperson and also an excellent typist. She can type 120 words per minute, but can rack up $80 per hour in sales. Erin would like some typing work but can only type 30 words per minute. Economic efficiency suggests O Pam should always do the typing because she can type faster. Erin should do the typing, provided she is willing to do so for less than $40 per hour. O Erin should do the typing, provided she is paid more than $40 per hour. O Erin should do the typing, provided she is willing to do so for less than $20 per hour.
Suppose that there are three plots of mountain resort land available for sale in Niseko and six potential buyers, each interested in purchasing one plot. Assume that all of the plots are basically indistinguishable and that the minimum selling price of each is $570,000. The following table lists each potential buyer's willingness and ability to purchase a plot of land. Person Darnell Eleanor Jacques Kyoko Musashi Rina Which of these people will purchase one of the three mountain resort plots? Check all that apply.
