Correct Answer:
D
Explanation:
At the given price level, the supply = 9 units and demand = 5 units
Then, excess supply = 9-5 = 4 units of X
Hence, a surplus is created in the market due to excess supply at price of 10.
Add Answer to:
Suppose that the price of good X is equal to 10. At such a price consumers...

Suppose there are two consumers, A and B, and two goods, X and Y. Consumer A is given an initial endowment of 3 units of good X and 5 units of good Y. Consumer B is given an initial endowment of 5 units of good X and 3 units of good Y. Consumer A’s utility function is given by: UA(X,Y) = X + 4Y, and consumer B’s utility function is given by UB(X,Y) = MIN (X, 2Y). If the prices...

1. Consider a competitive market for good Y in which there are 10 consumers, all with the utility function over goods X and Y given by: u (x,y) = αln(x) + β ln(y) The price of good X is fixed at $1. Five of the consumers have an income of $200, and the remaining 5 have an income of $400. Operating in the market for good Y are n firms, each with the cost function c(y) = 4y2. Derive the...
