We often find that for major sporting events (playoffs, Super Bowl, etc.) the quantity of tickets demanded is greater than the quantity of tickets supplied. How would the market solve this problem? Would consumers be better off or worse off? Why?
Sketch out (on scratch paper) or else imagine a market for pizza with a linear demand curve that starts at zero Q-demanded when P =$10 and then intersects
Supply at P = $8 Q = 100. Find the consumer surplus for that scenario. Just the $ amount but no $ sign.
