- 9. Total net benefit On the following graph, use the black point (cross symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity of smartphones. Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to fill the area representing consumer surplus, and use the purple point (diamond symbol) to fill the area representing producer surplus. Hint: Clicking a shaded area, after plotting it on the graph, will show you the total area of the shaded region. ?

The graphs of demand and supply are represented below 450 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 0 50 100 150 b. The equilibrium price equals space below. 200 a. On the graph above, label the axes and the lines that represent demand and supply. Show your calculations in the empty C. Calculate the consumer surplus and show your calculations below (2) Suppose that the government imposes per-unit tax of $30 per each unit sold. As a result, the consumer retail price for the product increases to $200. d. What is the quantity of product sold after the tax is imposed? Q = e. The price received by the suppliers after the tax is imposed is f. Has the consumer surplus changed after the tax is imposed? If yes, then how did it change (increased or decreased)? Shade the area that represents the consumer surplus after the tax is imposed, on the graph (1) g. The deadweight loss to the economy…arrow_forward8. U.S. government price supports for milk led to an unceasing surplus of milk. In an effort to reduce the surplus about a decade ago, Congress offered to pay dairy farmers to slaughter cows. Use two graphs, one for the milk market and one for the meat market, to illustrate how this policy should have affected the price of meat. (Assume that meat is sold in an unregulated market.) Be sure to draw the inverse demand and supply curves and label your axes. Explain clearly.arrow_forward
- QUESTION 4 Suppose the demand curve is given by P = 216 - 2Q and the supply curve is given by P = 5Q. Suppose the supply curve shifts left by 20. How much lower is total surplus in the new equilibrium than in the old equilibrium? Give your answer to 2 decimal places.arrow_forwardSuppose the daily demand curve for gasoline is as provided in the accompanying graph. a. Calculate the consumer surplus in the market for gasoline if the market price is $3.50. Consumer surplus = $ ___________ million Now suppose the price decreases to $2.50 per gallon. Move the price line on the graph to reflect this change, then calculate the new consumer surplus. New consumer surplus = $________millionarrow_forwardQuestion 1 Consumer Welfare In Laramie in early winter the inverse demand function for snow shovels is: p=200-49 and the market price is $40. 1. What is the consumer surplus (CS) in this market? 2. What is the total value of the good at the quantity consumed?arrow_forward
- 9) MARKET EQUILIBRIUM Suppose the demand for a product is given by p = d(q) = -0.4q + 300 and the supply for the same product is given by p = s(q) = 0.2q. For both functions, q is the quantity and p is the price, in dollars. a. Find the equilibrium point. (i.e. the market demand quantity and the market price) b. Find the consumer surplus at the equilibrium price. c. Find the producer surplus at the equilibrium price.arrow_forwardQuestion 1. Melissa buys an iPhone for $120 and gets consumer surplus of $80. a) What is her willingness to pay? b) If she had bought the iPhone on sale for $90, what would her consumer surplus have been?arrow_forwardCan consumer surplus be zero? If yes then in what scenario does this happen?arrow_forward
- 8. Given the following set of demand and supply functions, find the equilibrium price and quantities. (i) Qd = 450 - 3P; Qs = 50+ 5P, (ii) Qd = 500 - 3P; Qs = 100; (iii) Qs = 30 + 1/2p, find Qs, when P =2. P = 4, P = 6, p = 10 9. A) Briefly discuss the microeconomics goals b) With the help appropriate diagram briefly discuss a change in QTY demanded & change in demand.arrow_forward2. In most cases, a demand curve has a shape that we call "downward sloping". This means that it looks like a diagonal line going from the top left to the bottom right of a market graph. Why does demand usually have this shape? Explain in your own words. Make sure to include the concept of marginal benefit (a.k.a. marginal utility) in your explanation.arrow_forwardQuestion 3 According to the following Figure, please answer a-f 12 D According to this graph, how much is the consumer surplus when price is set at equilibrium (P = $8)? (use the area of triangle: Base x Height x ½) According to this graph, how much is the producer surplus when price is equal to its equilibrium level (P=$8)? (use the area of triangle: Base x Height x ½) In the graph, how much is deadweight loss at a price of P =$8 (equilibrium)? Now, according to this graph, how much is the consumer surplus when price is set below the equilibrium level at P=$5? (Use the area of a triangle and the area of a rectangle, length x length) According to this graph, how much is the producer surplus when price is equal at P= $5? (use the area of triangle: Base x Height x ½) In the graph, how much is deadweight loss at a price of $5? (use the area of a triangle) In all cases please show your calculations so I know how to arrive at those numbers! hparrow_forward
