Students have asked these similar questions
in a competitive market, if there should be a surplus of a product at a given price:
When a market has a surplus, the quantity demanded is greater than quantity supplied.
Select one:
True
False
Over the past few year's consumer tastes and
the number of buyers in the market for a
game called 'pickle ball' have increased
dramatically. Thus, the demand for tickets to
pickle ball events has increased. Before this
all started the equilibrium price of a ticket to a
pickle ball event was negative. This means
that:
A few years ago, there would have been a
surplus of tickets even at a price of zero, now
the invisible hand has pushed prices to
greater than zero.
A) A few years ago, the quantity of tickets
demanded was less than quantity supplied.
B) Pickle ball event tickets resembled the
market for recyclable cardboard a few years
ago
C) Greater demand for pickle ball tournament
tickets will lead to a greater demand - and
higher pay - for professional pickle ball
players.
D) All of the above.
E) B and D only

- Solve a Consumers' or Producers' Surplus Problem. A sports watch has a price-demand equation given by p= D(z) = 40-2-0174176a dollars, which gives the price per watch when a watches are demanded. The price-supply equation for the watch is given by p= S(x) = 0.6z+4 dollars, which gives the price per watch when z watches are supplied.
