2. Describe market equilibrium in terms of the following characteristics
d.
How supply and demand interactions should result in market equilibrium, when the
price is below equilibrium. (For this item, I suggest starting
at a price and quantity that is not equilibrium, then describing how the market will
move towards equilibrium)
e.
Producer surplus and how it changes as the market price approaches equilibrium from a
price below equilibrium.
f.
Consumer surplus and how it changes as the market price approaches equilibrium from
a price above equilibrium.

6. Demand, Supply, consumer surplus and Market Equilibrium. The following relations describe monthly demand and supply conditions in the metropolitan area for recyclable aluminum QD = 317,500 - 10,000P (Demand) Qs = -2,500 + 10,000P (Supply) where Q is quantity measured in pounds of scrap aluminum and P is price in dollars. Complete the following table: A Calculate the market equilibrium price and output? B. What is the inverse demand curve P = f(QD)? C. Compute the consumer surplus at...
Suppose these are the market demand and supply curves for hooded sweatshirts: Supply: P = 10 + 2QS Demand: P = 50−3QD (a) Sketch these two curves (that is, draw them, but don’t worry about numerical accuracy). Calculate equilibrium price and quantity. Calculate equilibrium price and quantity. (b) Show on your graph the areas of consumer and producer surplus.

Find consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus in the graph. b. Calculate exact size of consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus, respectively. Welfare effects of a price control. The government sets a price floor at $5. c. Find the market price and quantity traded, and the...
Consider a market where demand is equal to D = P= 30 - 2Q, and supply is equal to S= P=5+ .05Q,... D = demand, S = supply, P = price, and Q = quantity. Calculate the following values for this market: Equilibrium price Equilibrium quantity Consumer surplus Producer surplus
Q=100,000-10,000P solve for the consumer surplus at the equilibrium price and quantity Demand: Let the Market Demand curve for soybeans be given by the following equation: Q=100,000 -10,000P where the quantity of soybeans in kilograms P = the price of soybeans in dollars per kilogram. Supply: Let the Market Supply curve for soybeans be given by the equation: Q=-5,000+ 5,000P 3) Consumer Surplus: The Consumer Surplus (CS) is the triangular area under the demand curve and above the equilibrium price....
The following supply and demand functions describe the competitive market Q2+4P Q40-2P where Q and Q" are the quantities supplied and demanded, and P is the market price. (a) What are the equilibrium price, P, and quantity, Q"? (b) Compute the producer and consumer surplus that results from the market equilibrium in (a). Hint: To solve this problem, try drawing a graph of this market. Then recall the definitions from class: CS is the area under the demand curve and...
Suppose Q D = 200 – 4P and Q S = 100 describe market demand and market supply in a given market. Find the equilibrium price and quantity for this market. Graph both supply and demand for this market. Compute the consumer and producer surplus for this market. Give an example of a good in the real world that might be described by this graph
The market for rice in a country has the following demand and supply functions: Demand function: P = 6 – 0.5QD Supply function: P = 2 + 0.5QS Where QD is the quantity demanded, QS is the quantity supplied and P is the unit price of rice. Determine the equilibrium price, quantity, consumer surplus and producer surplus in the rice market. Illustrate your answers with a suitable rice market diagram. (8 marks) To help the rice farmers, the government has...
