Consider a market in which the demand curve is given by P = 1000 - 5Q, and the supply curve is given by P = 1.3Q. Suppose there is a positive supply shock and the supply curve shifts to the right, so that quantity supplied increases by 100 at each price.

Find the consumer surplus for the demand curve $p=$ $100-4 q$ when $q^{*}=10$ items are sold at the equilibrium price.
Antiderivatives and Applications
Application: Consumer and Producer Surplus
The demand curve for a product is given by $q=$ $120,000-500 p$ and the supply curve is given by $q=$ $1000 p$ for $0 \leq q \leq 120,000,$ where price is in dollars. (a) At a price of $\$ 100,$ what quantity are consumers willing to buy and what quantity are producers willing to supply? Will the market push prices up or down? (b) Find the equilibrium price and quantity. Does your answer to part (a) support the observation that market forces tend to push prices closer to the equilibrium price?
