4. Consider a perfectly elastic supply curve, at p = 10, along with a perfectly inelastic demand curve, at q = 103. Calculate the Consumer Surplus and the Producer Surplus in this market. Show your work. (10%)
Answer
the both are zero as the
producer surplus is the area above supply and below price but there is nothing
consumer surplus is the area below the demand curve and above price so there is no consumer surplus

3. Consider a perfectly inelastic supply curve at q = 1,013, and a perfectly elastic demand curve at p = 101. A subsidy of $5 per unit is given to producers. Using a diagram, explain how the subsidy is shared between consumers and producers. What is the Deadweight Loss? (30%)
Given the demand curve of P=60-3Q and a long-run supply curve is perfectly elastic at $4 per unit, what is the output level produced by the competitive industry and what would consumer surplus be? Use a diagram to illustrate your answer.
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. Calculate consumer and producer surplus at the equilibrium from part a. (c) Calculate the price elasticity of demand when price changes...

What is the Total surplus if this market is in Calculate the producer surplus if this market is in С. competitive equilibrium. D. Suppose the market price is $75, calculate the producer, consumer, and total surplus.
The perfectly competitive firm's demand curve is: Perfectly elastic. Relatively elastic Perfectly inelastic. Relatively inelastic Statement 1: In the long run, firms in a monopolistically competitive industry will be producing that quantity that maximize social surplus. Statement 2: In the long run, firms in a monopolistically competitive industry will be producing at the minimum of its ATC curve. Statement (1) is true; statement (2) is false. Statements (1) and (2) are both true. Statement (1) is false; statement (2) is...
