1. Starting from the following demand function:
?=?−??
A) Derive a formula for consumer surplus as a function of Q (i.e.
assume the decision maker is setting Q and letting the demand
function determine P). Include a well-labeled graph.
B) Consider a capacity constraint Q' which limits the availability
of Q for any given price. Derive a formula for consumer surplus as
a function of ?' and P assuming excess demand exists for the given
level of P. Include a well-labeled graph.
C) What kind of decisions might the existence of excess demand
influence? (Give specific examples.)

1. Suppose that a single-price monopolist faces the demand function P 100 Q where I is average weekly household income, and that the firm's marginal cost function is given by MC(Q) 2Q. The firm has no fixed costs. = (a) If the average weekly household income is $600, find the firm's marginal revenue function. (b) What is the firm's profit-maximizing quantity of output? At what price will the firm sell that output? What will the firm's marginal cost be? (c)...
Question 2 (15 points) Continuing your analysis of the competitive US manufacturing industry from Question 1, with demand of Q = 200-P and supply of Q. = P-20, suppose a technological innovation causes the supply curve to shift down by $20 for every given quantity Q. • Depict the original supply, the new supply, and the original demand curves on the usual P, Q diagram.

1. Homer is a deeply committed lover of chocolate. Assume his preferences are Cobb-Douglas over chocolate bars (denoted by C on the x-axis) and a numeraire good (note: we use the notion of a numeraire good to represent spending on all other consumption goods – in this example, that means everything other than chocolate bars – its price is always $1). a. Homer earns a salary that provides him a monthly income of $360. Last month, when the price of...
