For a product, the demand curve is $p=100 e^{-0.008 q}$ and the supply curve is $p=4 \sqrt{q}+10$ for $0 \leq q \leq 500$ 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.

Application: Consumer and Producer Surplus
Consider a market in equilibrium. At the equilibrium quantity, the marginal benefit to the consumer is less than the marginal social cost of production. In this situation: A. total economic situation would rise if production were reduced below equilibrium B. There is a negative production externality C. The demand curve is below the marginal social cost curve at the equilibrium quantity D: All of the above are true.

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.
