- The figure on the right displays the market for video game consoles, where nine buyers are interacting with nine sellers. According to this figure, the equilibrium price is $, and at that price, the equilibrium quantity is When the market is in equilibrium, social surplus is $. If the number of consoles is restricted to two less than the equilibrium quantity, social surplus is $. Alternatively, if the government mandated that one more video game console than equilibrium be transacted, social surplus is now $. From this analysis, it can be concluded that a market in competitive equilibrium social surplus. ៖ 900+ 800- 700- 600- 500- 400- 300- 200- 100- 0 Market for Video Game Consoles Quantity 6 7arrow_forwardsuppose there are three identical vases available to be purchased.

- which statements are true Harold is willing to pay $25 and Maude is willing to pay $18 for a steak dinner at a fine restaurant. When the price of the steak dinner increases from $15 to $18, Harold experiences a decrease in consumer surplus, but Maude does not. Assume that at the equilibrium price, consumer surplus is $100 and producer surplus is $60. At equilibrium, total surplus is $40. Assume there are only three sellers in a particular market. The cost of production for Annie is $50, for Beth it is $40 and for Cathy it is $35. If the price in the market is $45 then Annie will sell the product but Beth and Cathy will not sell. Price ceilings and price floors usually reduce the welfare of society because quantity demanded does not equal quantity supplied if the price control is binding.
