How would the equilibrium price and quantity change in the market depicted below if the marginal cost of every producer were to increase by \( € 2 / \mathrm{kg} \) ? "(Hint: Recall the vertical interpretation of the supply curve discussed in Chapter 1.)"(Round your 'Equilibrium Quantity' answer to 1 decimal place (e.g., 32.1). Do not insert the euro sign (C).) Equilibrium Price: \( € \) \( \square \) Equilibrium Quantity: \( \square \)

The demand and supply functions for a product are modeled by: Demand Function: p = 10 - 0.625x Supply Function: p = 3 + 0.25x a) Graph the two functions on the same axes and find the equilibrium point. b) Find the consumer and producer surpluses for this product.

Assume that the demand curve D(p) given below is the market demand for widgets: Q = D(p) = 1685 - 16p, p > 0 Let the market supply of widgets be given by: Q = S(p) = 5 + 10p, p > 0 where p is the price and Q is the quantity. The functions D(p) and S(p) give the number of widgets demanded and supplied at a given price.

8. For a product, the demand curve is p = 100e^(-0.008q) and the supply curve is p = 4∙∙q + 10 for 0 ≤ q ≤ 500, where q is quantity and p is price in dollars per unit. (a) At a price of $50, 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? (c) At the equilibrium price, calculate and interpret the consumer and producer surplus.
