32. Chapter 4
Market demand is given as Qd = 150 – 3P. Market supply is given as Qs = 2P. What would result if the market price were $25? Show your work.
a. |
a shortage of 25 |
|
b. |
a surplus of 25 |
|
c. |
a surplus of 105 |
|
d. |
a shortage of 105 |
Answer
Option a
a shortage of 25
======
P=25
then
Qd=150-3*25=75
Qs=2*25=50
Qd>Qs means there is a shortage
Shortage =Qd-Qs=75-50=25 units

1 Suppose the demand for shoes is given by: QD= 210 -2P. The supply of shoes is given by: QS= 9P -120. Calculate the Gains from Trade (also known as Economic Surplus) that would exist in this market in a competitive equilibrium. 2 Suppose the demand for jackets was given by: QD= 140 -0.4P. The supply of jackets is given by: QS= 4P -80. Suppose the price was $49 per jacket. Calculate whether there is a surplus or shortage of...
The equation of the demand function is Qd = 35-3p, and the equation of the supply function is Qs = 5+2p Indicate whether at price P=8 there is a surplus or a shortage and compute the size of the shortage/surplus. NOTE: INDICATE A SURPLUS WITH A POSITIVE NUMBER AND A SHORTAGE WITH A NEGATIVE ANSWER. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU FIND A SURPLUS OF 2, THE ANSWER WILL BE 2, IF YOU FIND A SHORTAGE OF 2 YOUR ANSWER WILL BE...
Suppose that supply and demand are given by the following equations: QD = 40 – 4P and QS = 2p – 2. In the above market, if a price floor of $8.50 was put into place, which of the following would result? A) A shortage of 10 units B) A surplus of 11 units C) Deadweight loss of at least $24 D) An increase in consumer surplus. Why is the Answer C?
Consider the following supply and demand functions qD = 12 - 3p qS = -3 + 2p Using the supply and demand functions, suppose a price ceiling of p = 2 were implemented. How much is supplied to the market and how much is demanded? What is the excess demand? Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and welfare level without the priceceiling. Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, welfare level, and dead weight loss withthis price ceiling. What if the...
Market demand is given as QD = 200 – 3P. Market supply is given as QS = 2P + 100. Each identical firm has MC = 0.5Q and ATC = 0.25Q. What is each firm’s profit?
18. Demand and Supply curves can be represented by: Qd = 90-2P; and Qs = 3P. Using the same Demand and Supply curves that can be represented by: Qd = 90-2P; and Qs = 3P. Consumer Surplus is: $1944 $342 $729 $486

4. Market demand is given as QD-210-3P. Market supply is given as QS competitive equilibrium, what will be the value of consumer surplus? a. $1400 2P+50. In a perfectly b. $2166 .$3267 d. $6538 5. Orange juice and apple juice are substitutes. Suppose bad weather sharply reduced the orange harvest. What would the impact be? a increase consumer surplus in the market for orange juice but decrease producer surplus in the market for apple juice b. increase consumer surplus in...
