Hi there, i need help on the following question:
Consider the cigarettes market in an economy. The demand for cigarettes is given by the equation P = 20 – 0.2Q and the supply of cigarettes is given by the equation P = 5 + 0.1Q, where P is the price per packet in dollars and Q is the number of packets of cigarettes.
Assume that the cigarettes market is perfectly competitive. Solve for the market equilibrium price and quantity of cigarettes. Compute the producer surplus and the consumer surplus in the cigarettes market. Use a well-labeled graph to illustrate all of the characteristics of the competitive market equilibrium you have solved for.
Thanks.

Consider an economy where rice is the staple food and the rice market is perfectly competitive. Initially the consumers paid the market equilibrium price for rice. (i) Using a diagram for the rice market, analyse the market equilibrium, the consumer surplus and the producer surplus. Your diagram needs to have a proper shape of the demand and supply curve that correctly reflects the demand and supply elasticities.
