QUESTION 7 The demand for rubber erasers consists of two components. The first component is the demand for rubber erasers by art students. This demand is given by QA = 19,500 - 325P. The second component is the demand for rubber erasers by all others. This demand is given by Qo = 32,000 - 2,000P. (a) What is the total quantity demanded of rubber erasers if the price of an eraser is: (i) $10 (ii) $15 (iii) $20 (iv) $30 (v) $70 (b) Assume that the supply of rubber erasers is given by Qs = 14,000+ 175P. (i) Find the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity. (ii) Calculate the total consumer surplus. [Hint: It may be easier if you calculate the consumer surplus for art students and the consumer surplus for all others separately, and then add them up.] (c) Assume that the supply of rubber erasers is given by Qs = 8,390 + 180P. Find the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity. 10 (DC) EN510
