Answer : Consumer Surplus in the market =0.5*(Maximum price -Equilibrium price) * Equilibrium quantity =0.5*( $520-$120)*10 = $2000 billion
Therefore equilibrium quantity and equilibrium quantity has been derived from demand and supply function.

Suppose the annual global supply and demand for oil (in billions of barrels) were QS = -2+ 1P QD = 13 – 1 P Now suppose the technology for hydraulic fracturing is discovered, raising the quantity supplied by 2 billion barrels at any price. What is the new equilibrium quantity and price?
share 150 Demand For #9 to # 17, suppose the global crude oil market is perfectly competitive. Quantity (Q) units are millions of barrels/day and price (P) units are $/barrel. The inverse demand function is: PPQ) = 165 - Q The inverse supply function is: P (Q) = 15+Q/2 The market equilibrium quantity and price are respectively, Q = 100 barrels oil/day and PME $65/barrel. The Demand and Supply are plotted to the right. 100 C Supply p65 50 D...
Question 3 14 pts The supply and demand for electric scooters are given by: Supply: P = 5 + 4 Qs Demand: P = 100 - QD A. (4 points) What is the equilibrium quantity of scooters in Tempe? B. (4 points) What is the equilibrium price of scooters in Tempe? Refer to the graph below for questions C and D: Supply A Demand Qм C. What area on the graph corresponds to consumer surplus? D.

The market demand function for wheat is Qd = 10 - 2P and the market supply function is Qs = 4P - 2, both measured in billions of bushels per year. i) Suppose the government wants to increase the price of wheat to $3/bushel and they impose a voluntary production reduction program to achieve their goal. a) What is the size of the deadweight loss from the program? b) What is the size of the producer surplus? c) What is...
2. (Total: 15 pts) The following equations represent the inverse supply and demand functions in the market for Good A: PC = 80 - ½ QD PP = 14 + QS where PC and PP are the prices paid by consumers and received by producers respectively. QD and QS are the quantities demanded and supplied, respectively. Suppose the government is considering imposing a tax of $6 per unit of Good A. a) (2pts) Compute the competitive market equilibrium price and...
1. Suppose that the market supply and demand in a given industry are given by the expressions QS = 20P - 200 and QD = 1,000 - 40P. a) The government decides to impose a price control defined by P* = 22.5. Should this be understood as a price floor or a price ceiling? Explain. b) Determine the quantity transacted in the market under the policy described in the previous question. What happens to the consumer surplus, producer surplus and...
Suppose the demand equation can be represent as QD = 100 -2P and the Supply equation can be represented as QS = -10 + P. a. Find the equilibrium price and quantity. b. At a price ceiling of $20, what is the QD and QS. What is the deadweight loss, consumer surplus and producer surplus amount?
4. Suppose the market for grass seed can be expressed as: Demand: Qd = 200 - 5P Supply: Qs = 40 + 5P If the government collects a $5 specific tax from sellers (here you can change the supply equation to Qs = 40 + 5(P-t) or Qs = 15+ 5P, How much will the quantity demanded change from the amount demanded before the tax? What price will consumers pay after the tax? What price will sellers receive after the...
Suppose that the market for green tea can be described by the following demand and supply curves (prices are per kg): Qd = 260 − 5P QS = 8P a) Find the market equilibrium in the absence of taxes. Draw the demand and supply curves, labelling all intercepts and the market equilibrium b) Draw the curves as in the last item, showing clearly the areas representing the consumer surplus (CS) and the producer surplus (PS). Calculate their values and the...
1 Suppose the demand for shoes is given by: QD= 210 -2P. The supply of shoes is given by: QS= 9P -120. Calculate the Gains from Trade (also known as Economic Surplus) that would exist in this market in a competitive equilibrium. 2 Suppose the demand for jackets was given by: QD= 140 -0.4P. The supply of jackets is given by: QS= 4P -80. Suppose the price was $49 per jacket. Calculate whether there is a surplus or shortage of...
