Market Analysis This figure summarizes events in three product markets. Assume that each market always begins in equilibrium where D<sub>0</sub> and S<sub>0</sub> intersect (point e). What is the new equilibrium point in: The market for pizza, when: 11. The price of beer increases. 12. The economy comes out of a recession and enters a period of prosperity. 13. The price of pizza sauce rises. The market for mountain bikes, when: 14. Congress increases income taxes. 15. The price of gasoline increases. 16. Labor involved in bicycle manufacturing is unionized, increasing average wages. 17. Manufacturers of road bikes start to make mountain bikes. The market for minivans, when: 18. Import tariffs on these vehicles are decreased. 19. The price of gasoline decreases. 20. Government regulations require manufacturers to make costly adjustments in order to improve fuel efficiency and reduce pollutant emissions.

Consider the market for pizza. Suppose the market demand and supply curves are given as below: Demand: Qd = 150 - 10P, Supply: Qs = 5P. a) Plot the demand and supply curves on a diagram. Specify all the intercepts. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity. b) Now suppose the government taxes consumers $3 per pizza. Show how this tax affects the market equilibrium. What is the new quantity traded? What is the new price paid by consumers and what is the new price received by producers? Show them in your diagram. c) Calculate the tax revenue made by the government. What share is paid by producers? What share is paid by consumers? d) Calculate the change in consumer surplus and change in producer surplus caused by the tax. Specify the deadweight loss associated with the tax in the diagram and calculate its size.

D) A. 8) In figure 4.6 if price is P1, consumer surplus is area A) A. B) B+C+E+F+G. C) G. D) A+B+E. 9) In figure 4.6 if price is P1, producer surplus is area A) B+E+G. B) A+B+E. C) G. D) A. 10) In figure 4.6 if price is P1, the deadweight loss due to under production is area A) F+G. B) A+C. C) E+G. D) C+F.

In a free-enterprise (supply and demand) economy, the amount buyers are willing to pay for an item and the number of these items manufacturers are willing to produce depend on the price of the item. As the price increases, demand for the item decreases since buyers are less willing to pay the higher price. On the other hand, an increase in price increases the supply of the item since manufacturers are now more willing to supply it. When the supply and demand curves are graphed, their point of intersection is called the market equilibrium for the item. Suppose the monthly market demand $D$ (in tenthousands of gallons) for a new synthetic oil is related to the price $P$ in dollars by the equation $10 P^{2}+6 D=144 .$ For the market price $P,$ assume the amount $D$ that manufacturers are willing to supply is modeled by $8 P^{2}-8 P-4 D=12$ (a) What is the minimum price at which manufacturers are willing to begin supplying the oil? (b) Use this information to create a system of nonlinear equations, then solve the system to find the market equilibrium price (per gallon) and the quantity of oil supplied and sold at this price.
