What role industrial economics plays in economic development of a country?

(a) At what price and output level the market will be in equilibrium?

Q^d = 100 - 6P

Q^s = 28 + 3P

Where Q^d is quantity demanded, Q^s is quantity supplied while P is the price of good.

The demand function for Product X is Qd = 100 - 2P and its supply function is Qs = -20 + P where P is the price of Product X in dollars while Qd is the quantity demanded and Qs is the quantity supplied (both expressed in thousands of units). Part 1 • What are the equilibrium price and quantity? (3 points) • What is the consumer surplus in the market for Product X? (2 points) • What is the producer surplus in the market for Product X? (2 points) . What is the total surplus in the market for Product X? (1 point) Part 2 Assume that the government decide to impose a tax of $6 on the price of each Product X that consumers purchase. • What are the new equilibrium price and quantity? (2 points) • What is the new consumer surplus in the market for Product X? (2 points) • What is the new producer surplus in the market for Product X? (2 points) • What is the new total surplus in the market for Product X? (1 point) • Is the new market equilibrium efficient? Why? Why not?
