Answer #1

Answer 1. a. Marginal buyers WTP at Q=25 is $350.

Consumer surplus= WTP- equilibrium Price= $350-$200=$150

b. CS=0.5(400-200)100= $10000

PS=0.5(200)(100)=$10000

TOTAL SURPLUS=$20000

c. Tax=$100

CS=0.5(400-250)(75)=$5625

PS=0.5(150)(75)=$5625

Tax revenue=(250-150)(75)=$7500

Total surplus=$11250

DWL=0.5(250-150)(100-75)=$1250

d. In the market without tax, consumers who are willing to pay till $200 will buy tickets and producers who are willing to get $200 will sell tickets.

In the market without tax, consuners who are willing to pay till $250 will buy tickets and producers who are willing to get $150 will sell the tickets

e. At equilibrium Quantity, demand meets supply , so there is no shortage of surplus in the market. So the total surplus is maximum at the equilibrium Quantity. At any other price level, there are distortions in the market, which leads to deadweight loss which reduces the total surplus.
