You are thinking about renting a room in a house next year with three of your friends. For each month’s rent, you are willing to pay $480, your first friend is willing to pay $450, your second friend is willing to pay $560, and your third friend is willing to pay $510. The landlord agrees to offer each of you separate leases but will charge you all the same price: $450.You decide this is a good deal, so you and your friends move in. A couple of months later, you learn from someone who knows the landlord that he would have been willing to rent each room for $400 per month. Part 1:What is the amount of producer surplus per month?PART 2:What is the amount of total consumer surplus per month?PART3:What is the amount of total surplus each month?

David consumes two things: gasoline (g) and bread (b). david's utility function is u(g, b) = 10g^0.25 b^0.75. use the lagrange technique to solve for david's optimal choices of gasoline and bread as a function of the price of gasoline, p_g, the price of bread, p_b, and his income m. with recent decrease in the price of gasoline (maybe due to external shock such as shale gas production) does david increase his consumption of gasoline? for david, how does partial differential g/partial differential p_g depend on his income m? that is, how does david's change in gasoline consumption due to an increase in the price of gasoline depend on his income level? to answer these questions, find the cross-partial derivative, |partial differential^2 g/partial differential m partial differential p_g.
