You've been provided the demand and supply equation for a Sydney transport company. P = 300e-0.2Qa P = 2e0.80s Where P, Qa, and Qs denote the price and quantity demanded and quantity supplied, respectively. (a) Solve for the equilibrium price and quantity. (2 marks) (b) Use the integration method to calculate the Consumer Surplus when the market is at equilibrium. (3 marks) (c) Explain in words (1 or 2 sentences) what the Consumer Surplus represents. (2 marks) (d) Use the integration method to calculate the Producer Surplus when the market is at equilibrium.
