[1] According to the graph, what is the consumer surplus when the market price is $50?  [2] According to the graph, what is the producer surplus when the market price is $50?  [3] According to the graph, what is the total surplus when the market price is $50?  [4] If the government sets a maximum price of $40, is this considered a price floor or a price ceiling?  [5] Under the maximum price policy of $40, will the market experience a shortage or a surplus?  [6] What is the consumer surplus under the $40 maximum price policy?  [7] What is the producer surplus under the $40 maximum price policy?  [8] What is the total surplus under the $40 maximum price policy?  [9] By how much does the total surplus decrease when the market price is set at $40 compared to the equilibrium price of $50? 

Assume you purchased a $100 U.S. T-bill maturing in for three years. The T-bill has an annual coupon rate of 3%. The market price of the T-bill is $90.  [1] How much is the face value of the T-bill?  [2] How much is your coupon amount per year?  [3] How long is the maturity of the T-bill?  [4] What would the current yield be based on this market rate? (round to two decimal places) 

Identify whether the following statement represents positive or normative economics, and explain your reasoning: “The CEO of ABC Company believes the company’s revenue is overly concentrated among high-income consumers. Therefore, the CEO announces a strategic shift: rather than focusing exclusively on the luxury market, the company will expand into markets where lower-income families can also afford its products.”

The graph below illustrates a wheat farmer’s cost and revenue structure, displaying the Average Total Cost (ATC) curve in purple, the Marginal Cost (MC) curve in yellow, and the Marginal Revenue (MR) curve in orange. [1] Explain difference between accounting profit vs. economic profit. [2] Which market structure does the producer graph depict? Why? [3] What is the price of wheat per bushel in this market? [4] What is MR for the 107th bushel? [5] What is the optimal output (quantity) level for this farmer? Why? [6] What is the firm’s profit or loss (nearest cent) at the optimal output?  [7] If the market price falls to $ 9.51 and the firm’s average variable cost is at $ 10.00 (AVC=$10.00 per bushel) at its best short-run output, what should the firm do in the short run? [8] Why do economists argue that this market structure is (comparatively) the most efficient?

Suppose the market for strawberries is described by the following demand and supply equations: – Demand: Qd = 50 – P – Supply: 2P = -20 + 2Qs ​ Here, Qd​ represents the quantity demanded (in boxes of strawberries), Qs ​represents the quantity supplied (in boxes), and P denotes the market price per box of strawberries. [1] Assuming a perfectly competitive market with no government intervention, find the equilibrium price (Pe).  [2] Using the equilibrium price, determine the corresponding equilibrium quantity (Qe).
