Part 1 - Supply and Demand Practice- Use the
graph for ice cream to answer the questions below.
1. What is the equilibrium price and quantity?
2. Identify a price and quantity that could be the
result of an increase in the price of milk, a key
resource in the production of ice cream.
3. Identify a price and quantity that could be the
result of a decrease in the price of popsicles, a
substitute to ice cream.
4. Identify the area of consumer surplus at the
equilibrium price.
5. Identify the area of consumer surplus if the supply increased resulting in the equilibrium price of P3
and Q4.
6. Assume instead that the demand decreased resulting in the equilibrium price of P3 and Q2. Identify
the area of producer surplus.
7. Identify the area of consumer surplus if a price ceiling is placed at P2.
8. Identify the area of consumer surplus if a price ceiling is placed at P5.
9. Identify the area of deadweight loss if a price floor is placed at P6.
10. Assume that a per-unit tax was placed on ice cream resulting in an equilibrium price of P6 and Q1.
Identify the area of consumer surplus.
11. Assume that a per-unit tax was placed on ice cream resulting in an equilibrium price of P6 and Q1.
Identify the area of deadweight loss.
12. Assume that a per-unit tax was placed on ice cream resulting in an equilibrium price of P6 and Q1.
Identify the area of tax revenue.
13. Assume instead that consumers can get ice cream at the world price of P2. Identify the area of
consumer surplus after international trade.
14. Identify the quantity that will be imported if the world price is P2.

Part 2 - Calculation Practice- Use the graph for a
competitive market to answer the questions below.
Show your work.
15. What is the quantity demanded and quantity
supplied at the price of $13?
16. Could an increase in supply result in an
equilibrium price and quantity of $12 and 30 units?
Explain.
17. Calculate the consumer surplus at the equilibrium
price.
18. Calculate the consumer surplus if a decrease in
supply results in an equilibrium price of $12.
19. Calculate the producer surplus if an increase in demand results in an equilibrium price of $12.
20. Calculate the deadweight loss if a decrease in demand results in an equilibrium price of $8.
21. Calculate the consumer surplus if a price ceiling is placed at $8.
22. What would be the equilibrium price and quantity if a $2 per-unit tax is placed on the good?
23. How much tax revenue would be generated if a $2 per-unit tax is placed on the good?
24. Would the incidence of tax from a $2 tax mostly fall on consumers or producers? Explain.
25. Calculate the consumer surplus if consumers can get this product at the world price of $7.
26. Calculate the elasticity of demand coefficient between the price of $10 and $9.
27. Calculate the elasticity of supply coefficient between the price of $10 and $12.
28. Assume the price fell from $10 to $8 causing the quantity demanded of a different product to increase
from 100 to 120 units. Calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand coefficient.
29. Assume instead that the demand changes in such a way that a decrease in supply results in an
equilibrium price and quantity of $12 and 50 units. Calculate the elasticity of demand coefficient.
