A firm could produce three units if it decides the market price makes it valuable enough to do so. The marginal cost of producing the first unit is $10. The marginal cost of producing the second unit is $15. The marginal cost of producing the third unit is $20. If the market price per unit is constant at $17, what is the total producer surplus on the units the seller will produce? (round your final answer to two decimal places if necessary)

When the price of gasoline was very high in thesummer of 2008, several U.S. presidential candidates proposed implementing a national price ceiling to keep fuel affordable. How would this policyhave affected producer and consumer surplus?How would it have affected total surplus?
Please give a neat and step-by-step solution. Question: Given, P = 200 - 3Q P = 50 + 2Q What is the market equilibrium P and Q? If the price goes up by $10, how will the customers react? (Hint: Find PED and comment. First find new P* and Q*) If the government regulates the market by imposing 10% sales tax, what will be the change in producer surplus? Imagine there is no tax, and the market is competitive. What will be the profit maximization output level?
The following Table refers to four buyers’ willingness to pay for papadums. Each buyer is willing to buy at most one papadum and no more. Buyer Willingness to Pay Linc $17.00 Jeff $15.00 Frankie $9.00 Wash $3.00 a. Let the competitive market price be $4.00: calculate the total consumer surplus in the market at this price. b. Assume now that there is only a single seller of papadums, and she knows each buyer’s willingness to pay. Assume that this seller incurs a cost of $4.00 per unit of papadum produced (i.e., the marginal cost is constant). If she intends to maximise profits, how many papadums would this seller supply to the market, and what price would she charge? Remember, the price has to be the same for each unit sold. Hint: start at a price of $17 and calculate what profit would be. Then lower the price just enough to attract an additional buyer and calculate what the new profit would be. Repeat this until all four buyers are purchasing the…

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DOES NOT NEED ANSWERING Let the competitive market price be $4.00: calculate the total consumer surplus in the market at this price. (b) Assume now that there is only a single seller of papadums, and she knows each buyer’s willingness to pay.

Are consumers better off or worse off in the monopoly situation relative to the competitive market? Why?
Suppose there are three identical blenders available to be purchased. Buyer 1 is willing to pay $30 for one, buyer 2 is willing to pay $25 for one, and buyer 3 is willing to pay $20 for one. If the price is $25, how many blenders will be sold and what is the value of consumer surplus in this market? * a. One blender will be sold and consumer surplus is $30. b. One blender will be sold and consumer surplus is $5. c. One blender will be sold and producer surplus is $5. d. Three blenders will be sold and consumer surplus is $0. e. None of these.
Suppose price is 5 percent above equilibrium intwo markets: a market for a necessity and a marketfor a luxury good. All else equal (including supplyconditions), in which market do you expect deadweight loss to be greater? Explain.
Assume that the monthly demand for Gala apple in the US is given by q=1200-300p and quantity is in million pounds. The monthly supply of Gala is q= -200+400p for p>$0.5. Now assume that the government has imposed a quantity tax equal to $0.14 on each pound of apple. Assume that the retail stores are legally obliged to collect this tax. What is the new producer and consumer surplus?
Please show all work thanks A.) 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 1⁄2) B.) 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 1⁄2) C.) In the graph, how much is deadweight loss at a price of P =$8 (equilibrium)?
In a competitive market in which P = 100 − 2Q is the inverse demand for fuel and P = 10 + Q is the inverse supply of fuel. Calculations are preferred, but you may use a graph for partial Without a tax, what is the market-clearing price and output, P and Q? What is the consumer surplus and producer surplus (with no tax) If a tax on fuel is set at $15, how much fuel will be purchased? You can assume that the buyers pay the tax (but it doesn’t matter). What is the deadweight loss of the tax? Thanks!
Suppose that the demand for a concert is represented by the following equation, where P is the price of concert tickets and QD is the quantity of tickets demanded:QD = 2200 - 24PThe supply of tickets is represented by the equation where P is the price of the tickets and QS is the quantity of tickets supplied:QS = -500 +79PGive all answers to two decimals. 1. Find the equilibrium price and quantity of tickets sold. 2. Calculate the consumer surplus and producer surplus at the equilibrium price and quantity. Use the formula for the area of a triangle, (½ × base × height), to calculate each value.
where QD denotes the quantity demanded and p the price. The gold curve for apples is given by QO (p) = 3/2 p, where QO denotes the quantity o§ert. SC denotes the consumer surplus at market equilibrium in the absence of government intervention. Suppose the government imposes a ceiling price p = 30 on apples. We denote by SC the consumer surplus at market equilibrium with price ceiling. Calculate SC - SC *.
The Chief Medical Officer has advised the government that consumption of widget-corn improves the survival rate of COVID-19 by 20%. Suppose the supply and demand functions for widget-corn are:QD = 100 – 5P (1)QS = 5P. (2)P is the price in dollar and Q is the quantity in kilograms.a. Determine the market equilibrium price and quantity of widget-corn? Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total economic surplus at the market equilibrium. Having confirmed the positive impact of widget-corn consumption on COVID-19 patients, the government has ordered widget-corn sellers to charge $5 per kilogram.(i) What type of price regulation policy is this? Briefly explain. (ii) Calculate the impact of the policy on the quantity of widget-corn supplied and demanded. (iii) Explain the impact of the policy consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total economic surplus. (iv) Is the outcome of the government’s policy efficient and, therefore, maintained or abandoned? Explain in detail. d.…
