Suppose that the demand for broccoli is given by Demand: Q = 1,000 – 5P where Q is quantity per year measured in hundreds of bushels and P is price in dollars per hundred bushels. The long-run supply curve for broccoli is given by Supply: Q = 4P – 80 a. Show that the equilibrium quantity here is Q = 400. At this output, what is the equilibrium price? How much in total is spent on broccoli? What is consumer surplus at this equilibrium? What is producer surplus at this equilibrium? b. How much in total consumer and producer surplus would be lost if Q= 300 instead of Q = 400? c. Show how the allocation of the loss of total con- sumer and producer surplus between suppliers and demanders described in part b depends on the price at which broccoli is sold. How would the loss be shared if P = 140? How about if P = 95? d. What would the total loss of consumer and pro- ducer surplus be if Q = 450 rather than Q = 400? Show that the size of this total loss also is indepen- dent of the price at which the broccoli is sold. e. Graph your results.

At a price of x dollars, the supply function for a music player is q = 75e0.002, where q is in thousands of units. How many music players will be supplied at a price of 300? (Round to the nearest thousand.) thousand units Find the marginal supply Marginal supply(x) = Which is the best interpretation of the derivative? O The rate of change of the price as the quantity supplied increases The quantity supplied if the price increases O The rate of change of the quantity supplied as the price increases O The price at a given supply of units O The number of units that will be demanded at a given price
DS Determinants of supply The following calculator shows the supply curve for sedans in an imaginary market. For simplicity, assume that all sedans are identical and sell for the same price. Two factors that affect the supply of sedans are the level of technical knowledge-in this case, the speed with which manufacturing robots can fasten bolts, or robot speed-and the wage rate that auto manufacturers must pay their employees. Initially, the graph shows the supply curve when robots can fasten 2,500 bolts per hour and autoworkers earn $25 per hour. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly.

Suppose the demand for organic bananas is given by the following equation: Qd = 10 - 1P where Qd is the quantity demanded per week of organic bananas, and P is the price of organic bananas. Suppose further that the supply of organic bananas is: Qs = 3 + 2P where Qs is the quantity supplied per week of organic bananas. What is the equilibrium market quantity of organic bananas? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
It has been suggested that homeowners be allowed to deduct part of their mortgage (loan to buy a home) interest payments on their income tax forms. If such a policy were to be adopted, what effect would it have on the demand for houses? Explain your answer with the use of a graph. Show the effect on the price of houses, assuming that the supply of houses is very inelastic in the short run.

The restaurant industry is highly competitive. The pandemic has likely reduced the demand for restaurant meals. It has also likely raised the fixed costs of a typical restaurant (because owners have needed to reconfigure seating and install new ventilation systems). a)What will these two developments do to the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for restaurant meals? b)What will these two developments do to the number of meals produced and the profits of a typical restaurant in the short run?

Consider the following statement: "The market supply for natural gas is the sum of all prices that natural gas producers are willing and able to sell at for every quantity." What is the flaw in this statement? Select the correct answer. It should state that market supply is the sum of the quantities of natural gas that producers are willing and able to sell at every price. It should state that market supply is the price of natural gas that one firm is willing and able to provide a specified quantity of its product at. There is no flaw in this statement. It should state that market supply is the quantity of natural gas that producers are willing and able to sell at one specific price.
The market for paperback detective novels is perfectly competitive. Suppose we have identical book readers, and each individual book reader's demand for paperback novels is given by P=123-5Q. We have 337 book readers in the market. What is the market quantity demanded when the price of a paperback novel is $23. Enter a number only. Remember, fractions of goods are possible.
