Section If the demand function is d (x) = x dollars, find the consumers’ surplus at the demand level of x = 100. d (100) = 2800 so Consumers’ surplus = $60,000.
2. If the demand function is d (x) = 350 – 0.09x 2 dollars, find the consumers’ surplus at the demand level of x = 50. d (50) = 350 – 225 = 125 so Consumers’ surplus = $7,500.
3. Find the Gini index for the Lorenz curve L (x) = x 3.2. This was the Lorenz curve for the US in Gini index = 0.52.
4. Find the Gini index for the Lorenz curve L (x) = x This was the Lorenz curve for the US in Gini index = 0.41.
