Market demand

Suppose that the market demand for broccoli is given by Q=1000-5P and the market supply of broccoli is given by Q=4P-80 where Q is quantity per year measured in hundreds of bushels an P is price in dollars per hundred bushels. a. Find the equilibrium price/quantity combination b. How much in total is spent on broccoli? c. What is consumer surplus in dollars at this equilibrium? d. What is producer surplus in dollars at this equilibrium? e. Graph your results 2. Since the federal government believes a diet with broccoli included is good, it decides to subsidize the price paid by the buyer. The subsidy is $45. a. Find the new equilibrium price/quantity combination (Remember: P... click for more

Calculating utility, with graph

You are choosing between two goods, X and Y, and your total utility from each is shown below. Units TUx TUy 1 10 8 2 18 15 3 24 21 4 28 26 5 31 30 6 33 33 a. If your income is $9 and the prices of X and Y are $2 and $1, respectively, what quantities of each will you purchase in maximizing utility. b. Specify the amount of total utility you will realize. c. Assume that, other things remaining unchanged, the price of X falls to $1. What quantities of X and Y will you now purchase? d. Using the two prices and quantities for X, graphically derive a demand curve for X.
