The following questions refer to the diagram below. The letters on the graph represent enclosed areas. A graph in the first quadrant is shown with price on the vertical axis and quantity on the horizontal axis. Three values P sub 1, P sub 2, and P sub 3 are labeled on the vertical axis from bottom to top. Two lines are plotted, one labeled demand starting on the vertical axis above P sub 3 and decreasing, and the other labeled supply starting on the vertical axis below P sub 1 and increasing. The two lines intersect at a nearly right angle near the center of the graph. Horizontal dashed reference lines are drawn from each value on the vertical axis with the line from P sub 3 intersecting the demand curve then the supply curve above their intersection, the line from P sub 2 meeting the supply and demand curves at their intersection, and the line from P sub 1 intersecting the supply then the demand curve below their intersection. Vertical dashed reference lines are drawn from two unlabeled values on the horizontal axis, one that meets the supply and demand lines at their intersection and the other to the left of it that crosses the supply line at the same point as the line from P sub 1 and the demand line at the same point as the line from P sub 3. Eight regions bounded by the plotted lines and reference lines are labeled with letters f through m. Region f is the triangular area above the line P sub 3 and below the demand line. Region g is a rectangular area between the P sub 2 and P sub 3 lines and to the left of region h with is a triangular area above the P sub 3 line and also beneath the demand line. Region i is a rectangular area between lines P sub 2 and P sub 1 and is to the left of region j which is a triangular area below the P sub 2 line and it connected to, but above region l which is a triangular area above the P sub 1 line and to the left of region m with is a triangular area above the P sub 1 line. Region k is a rectangular region below the P sub 1 line and above the supply line. If a price ceiling is set at P1, which of the following areas represent the resulting consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss?

Assume the following utility schedule for Aaliyah’s ice cream consumption. If she consumes 6 units, what is the value of her total utility from consuming ice cream? Table: Schedule for Aaliyah’s ice cream consumption Quantity Consumed Marginal Utility 1 8 2 6 3 4 4 2 5 0 6 -2

Which of the following is a key assumption of consumer choice theory?

Consumer surplus in a market for a good exists because

Instead of being employed at a printing company at a salary of $25,000 per year, Sally starts her own printing firm. Rather than renting a building that she owns to someone else for $10,000 per year, she uses it as the location for her company. Her costs for workers, materials, advertising, and energy during her first year are $125,000. If the total revenue from her printing company is $155,000, her total economic profit is

If a 10 percent increase in the price of a good leads to a 25 percent decrease in the quantity demanded of the good, demand is

Which of the following statements about the price elasticity of demand is true?

Assume that the government increases the unit excise tax on gasoline suppliers and also that people commute longer distances to work as more houses are built in city suburbs. As a result, the equilibrium price and quantity of gasoline will most likely change in which of the following ways?

Assume that the price of good X decreases from $10 to $9 per unit and that the quantity demanded of good X increases from 25 to 30 units. In this price range, the demand for good X is
