There are two types of individuals in the demand for natural gas. Group X has a total of 5 people and each person’s demand curve is Q = 100 – 10*P while Group Y has 10 people and each person’s demand curve is Q = 100 – 5*P. a) Assume natural gas costs $10 per unit.
a)Calculate the consumer surplus amounts for each person (for a person in Group X and a person in Group Y).
b) Construct the aggregate demand curve for Group X. Also construct the aggregate demand curve for group Y.
c) Construct the market demand curve for this economy (all people). Do this graphically or mathematically.

2. In the U.S. the two main sources of energy are natural gas and oil. Assume that the supply curve for natural gas (per thousand cubic feet) is given by Q = 15.9 +0.72PG + 0.05Po where Pg corresponds to the price per thousand cubic feet (Tcf) of natural gas, and Po is the oil barrel price. The demand curve for natural gas (in Tcf) is Q = 0.02 - 1.8PG + 0.69Po. (a) Are natural gas and oil complements...

2. Suppose the market supply function for natural gas is P = 10 + 2Q and the market demand function of natural gas is P = 70 - Q, where P is the price of the natural gas per cubic feet and Q is the quantity of natural gas bought and sold. 1) What are the equilibrium price and quantity of natural gas in a competitive market? 2) Compute the consumer surplus and producer surplus. Assume the government imposes a...

Two people in the world. First person (Person A) has a demand curve of streetlights Qa= 200 – 2 P. For person B, the demand curve for street light is Qb= 200 – P. Streetlights is a public good (everyone can use it and its non excludable)... What is the efficient level of this activity if it could be produced at a constant marginal cost of $75 per unit? What is the consumer surplus from the efficient level of street...

Suppose a natural gas distribution company has capital investments of $8 million and a capital cost r of 10%. The firm’s operating, billing, and maintenance costs are $200,000. The firm buys natural gas at the city gate price of $5/MCF to sell to its customers. The firm distributes gas to those customers through its existing pipeline network at close to zero marginal cost. The firm faces the following (inverse) demand by customer type (recall that these are average demand per...

2) Natural gas for residences is best provided by a monopoly due to economies of scale. Assume it costs the monopoly $4 per MMBtu for the gas and that monthly demand in MMBtus is given by D(P) = 12 - 0.2P for a typical household. This implies that the inverse demand is P(Q) = 60 - 50 and that the marginal revenue is MR = 60 - 100. a. Extra: Using algebra, verify the formula for the inverse demand. b....

Suppose a perfectly competitive market has the following inverse supply and demand curves: Supply: P= 5+2Q Demand: P = 50-Q. 1) Solve for the perfectly competitive Pe and Qe, and calculate consumer+producer surplus at Pe, Qe. 2) Suppose each unit of good produced created a negative externality to society valued at $1 per unit. Calculate the social optimum Pe and Qe for this case and compute consumer+producer surplus. 3) Show graphically the welfare loss if the externality is ignored.
