Most scalping laws make it illegal to sell—but not to buy—tickets at prices above those printed on the tickets. Assuming that is the case, use supply and demand analysis to explain why the equilibrium ticket price in an illegal secondary market tends to be higher than in a legal secondary market.
Given the following information
Qd = 240 – SP
Qs = P
Where Qd is the quantity demand, Qs is the quantity supplied and P is the price. Calculate the following:
(i) Buyers reservation price
(ii) Sellers reservation price
In a particular market, demand and supply curves are defined by the following equations:
P=50 – 0.5QD
QS= -20 + 2P
where, P is the price in pounds, QS is the quantity supplied and QD is the quantity demanded.
