Consider a market where the equilibrium price for a good is $17 and the equilibrium quantity is 350 units.
Assume that the quantity supplied at an above - equilibrium price is 5 times the equilibrium quantity, and the
quantity demanded at the above - equilibrium price is 1/3 the equilibrium quantity. Calculate the surplus in
the market at the above - equilibrium price. If necessary, round any intermediate calculations to one decimal
place and your final answer to the nearest whole number.
In Figure 1, suppose the marginal value for gasoline falls by $6 for every quantity demanded for all gas stations in the market. After the changes, assume that the government enacts a price ceiling of $2. What will happen in the market?
A) Quantity supplied will equal quantity demanded.B) There will be a surplus of 1 gallon.C) There will be a shortage of 3 gallons.D) There will be a surplus of 2 gallons.E) There will be a shortage of 4 gallons.
1) Market for Flat-Screen TVs:
Demand: Qd = 2,600-5P
Supply: Qs = 1000 + 10P
What would be the amount of shortage if a price celling is imposed at price of $170?
2) Suppose in the market for banana. When the price is $5, the quantity demanded for banana is 6, and the quantity supplied is 10.
what's the amount of surplus in the market?
