A consulting company estimated market demand and supply in a perfectly competitive industry and obtained the following results: Qd = 25,000 − 5,000P + 25M Qs = 240,000 + 5,000P − 2,000PI where P is price, M is income, and PI is the price of a key input. The forecasts for the next year are ̂ = $15,000 and I = $20. Average variable cost is estimated to be AVC = 14 − 0.008Q + 0.000002Q2 Total fixed cost will...

For a perfectly competitive market, daily demand for a good is given by P-10-Q, where P ¡s price and Q is quantity. Supply is given by P = 2 + Q. Suppose the government imposes an excise tax of $2 on sellers in the market. (An excise tax is a tax per unit.) (a) What is the original (before the tax) producer surplus and (b)new (after the tax) producer surplus?
