Homework Problem Set 4 1. Because Q=12-2P inverse demand P = -0.5 Q+6 For “half price” case‚ P = 2.5‚ Q=7 consumer surplus = 7*(6-2.5)/2 = 12.25 For “buy one‚ get one free” case‚ when original P = 5‚ Q = 4 instead of 2‚ total benefit TB = (4+6)*4/2 = 20 On the other hand‚ payment is 2*5=10 dollars‚ so consumer surplus will be = 10 Thus “half price” gives more surplus. 2. cost minimizing manner‚ marginal product of typewriter/marginal product of word processor=rent of typewriter/rent
