Comsumer Surplus Study The goal of this assignment is to apply Calculus to analyze consumer and producer surplus. This activity is based off the economical principles discussed in Section 3.1 of "Principle of Economics" and Section 7 of Chapter 3 in the Business Calculus book. The table below shows how supply and demand of gasoliine vary depending on the price: Price ($/gal) Demand (million of gal.) Supply (million of gal.) 753 513 550 1.2 700 1.4 640 600 1.6 580 639 1.8 543 660 2.2 450 680 2.4 430 700 2.6 420 720 2.8 390 735 3. 367 763 Note: there is some randomization in the above data to account for price fluctuations. Make sure to check that you input the correct data in your device. Perform the following work • Assume that Supply has a quadratic relationship with the price. Find this relationship (the help buttons contain an article to compute trend-lines in Excel): S(p) = Round your answer to 3 decimal places %3D • Assume that the Demand has a quadratic relationship with the…
