Answer to question 1.
Graphs 1. Show using supply and demand analysis the areas that make up consumer surplus, producer...
Illustrate (draw a graph) consumer and producer surplus using demand and supply graph and explain how total surplus (consumer surplus plus producer surplus) can be maximised at the equilibrium level.
Consumer & Producer Surplus If QP = 450 - P and Q* = 2P - 150: a. Solve for the market equilibrium price (P) and market equilibrium quantity (Q*). (4 points) b. Solve for consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus. (4 points) 2. Welfare Effects of a Per Unit Tax Given the same demand and supply equations as in question #1, suppose the government imposes a per unit tax of $15: 22 a. Solve for the new equilibrium quantity...
a. In the graph below, identify the areas of consumer surplus and producer surplus. Instructions: Use the tool provided PS' to identify the area of producer surplus. This will drop a small triangle with 3 endpoints onto the graph. Drag the endpoints to the appropriate positions to identify the area of producer surplus. Then, use the tool provided CS and follow the same process for consumer surplus 0.26 points Tools Supply cs PS Demand Quantity b-lf the supply curve shifts...
Based on your analysis, as a result of the tariff, new Zealand's consumer surplus (increase/decrease) by $______________, a producer surplus *(increase/Decrease) by $__________, and the government collects $____________ in revenue. Therefore, the net welfare effect is a (gain/loss) by $____________. 3. Welfare effects of a tariff in a small country Suppose New Zealand is open to free trade in the world market for wheat. Because of New Zealand's small size, the demand for and supply of wheat in New Zealand...
Graphically and in words explain the concepts of producer and consumer surplus. a. Given an increase in demand, what happens to total surplus value in society? Show both graphically and in words. b. If government were to impose a tax on the supply side of a perfectly competitive industry, what will happen to surplus value and why will there be a dead weight loss to society assuming no externalities in the market?
Justify your answer using standard partial equilibrium analysis. It is sufficient to show by graphs, but provide logical reasoning. 1. Analyze the effects of entry of a new firm. More precisely imagine there are I consumers and J producers. Assume all these are price takers. Now suppose one more producer enters into the market. What happens to (a) Supply and demand curve (b) Equilibrium price (c) Surplus of incumbent firms d) Consumer surplus (e) Total surplus
Supply and Demand Analysis Graphs 1. Show using supply and demand analysis the effect on the yacht market when incomes across the country fall (i.e. the country is in a recession). 2. Show using supply and demand analysis the effect on the new car market when the assembly line was invented. 3. Show using supply and demand analysis the effect on off brand toilet paper during an expansion. 4. Show using supply and demand analysis the effect on the market...
Suppose that the demand curve for wheat is Qd= 400-10p Qs= 10p The government provides producers with a specific subsidy of S=$11 per unit. How do the equilibrium price and quantity change? The equilibrium price by $_______ and the equilibrium quantity by $_______ units. (Enter numeric responses using real numbers rounded to two decimal places.) What effect does this tax (subsidy) have on consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue, welfare, and deadweight loss? Consumer surplus (increase or decrease) by $...
Find the consumer and producer surpluses by using the demand and supply functions, where p is the price (in dollars) and x is the number of units (in millions). Demand Function Supply Function p = 1300 23x p = 42x consumer surplus producer surplus $
Suppose that, in the market for litres petrol, demand is given by P = 5-0.30, and supply is given by P = 1 +0.10. Further, suppose that the government provides a $1 per litre subsidy for petrol. A. Calculate the effect of the subsidy on the equilibrium price and quantity. B. Calculate the change in producer surplus and consumer surplus that result from the provision of the subsidy. C. Does total surplus to everyone in the economy increase or decrease...
