Question

5. Suppose we have demand/supply functions p = d(x) = -1/10 x^2 - x + 40 p = s(x) = 1/10 x^2 + 2x + 20 If the market price is set to equilibrium price, find the consumers' and producers' surplus.

          5. Suppose we have demand/supply functions
p = d(x) = -1/10 x^2 - x + 40
p = s(x) = 1/10 x^2 + 2x + 20
If the market price is set to equilibrium price, find the consumers' and producers' surplus.

Step 1

Step 1: Find the equilibrium price and quantity To find the equilibrium price and quantity, we need to set the demand and supply functions equal to each other and solve for p: 22 - 1p + 40(10) = 22 + 2r + 20(10) Simplifying this equation, we get: -1p + 420 = 2r + Show more…
