Demand for water bottles is given by Q = 10,000 – 500 P. If the initial price is $7 per bottle, and a policy change increases that price to $10, how much does consumer surplus change? Is this an increase or decrease in consumer surplus? Will EV and CV be more or less than this change in consumer surplus?

Suppose that for a perfectly competitive market the initial demand curve is given by the equation P = 10 − Q and the supply curve is given by the equation P = 2 + Q. Now, suppose that the only change to this market is that the number of buyers increases, giving rise to a new demand curve that has the same slope as the initial demand curve. (Everything else remains the same.) Then (A) consumer surplus (unambiguously) increases. (B)...

The inverse demand and supply curves for wheat are given by: P= 11-Q^d and P=1 + Q^s, where P is the price of wheat in dollars per bushel (USD/bu) and Q is the quantity of wheat in million bushels (mil bu), The price support set by the government is equal to $8/bu. Calculate the changes in producer and consumer surplus for the price support policy. Who is made better off, who worse off, and by how much?
