If y=30, z=20, w=10 and x=30, calculate the producer surplus (in $) when the market is in equilibrium. Enter your response as an integer: do NOT use decimals (for example, if you calculate 3.65, round your answer to 4).

Step 1
The formula is: Producer Surplus = 1/2 * (Market Price - Minimum Price) * Quantity In this case, the market price is represented by 'y', the minimum price by 'z', and the quantity by 'w'. So, substituting the given values into the formula, we get: Show more…

In this problem, p is in dollars and x is the number of units. Suppose the demand function for a product and the supply function is p = 1 + 0.2x. Find the equilibrium quantity. Find the equilibrium point: (x1, p1) Find the producer's surplus at market equilibrium. (Give an exact answer: Do not round)

In this problem, p is in dollars and x is the number of units. The demand function for a certain product is p = 143 - 2x^2 and the supply function is p = x^2 + 33x + 44. Find the producer's surplus at the equilibrium point. (Round x and p to two decimal places. Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
