Question

Question 6 of 6. The quantity demanded, x, (in units of one thousand) of cases of Super Tasty Cola is related to the unit price, p (in dollars), by p = D(x) = -0.1x^2 - x + 30 and the quantity, x, (in units of one hundred), that the supplier is willing to make available in the market is related to the unit price, p, (in dollars), by p = S(x) = 0.1x^2 + 20 If the market price is set at the equilibrium price, determine the consumers' surplus and the producers' surplus.

          Question 6 of 6.
The quantity demanded, x, (in units of one thousand) of cases of Super Tasty Cola is related to the unit price, p (in dollars), by
p = D(x) = -0.1x^2 - x + 30
and the quantity, x, (in units of one hundred), that the supplier is willing to make available in the market is related to the unit price, p, (in dollars), by
p = S(x) = 0.1x^2 + 20
If the market price is set at the equilibrium price, determine the consumers' surplus and the producers' surplus.

Step 1

In this case, the quantity demanded is represented by x, and the quantity supplied is also represented by x. So we can set the two equations equal to each other: 0.1x - x + 30 = 5x - 0.1x + 20 Show more…
