2. Consider a perfectly competitive market for anchovies. The demand curve is given by QD = 72 – 2PD and the supply curve is given by Qs = 3Ps – 3. a) Find the equilibrium price and quantity traded in this market. What does 'equilibrium' mean here? How would a price floor of $10 per unit have changed the quantity traded and why? b) Sketch the supply and demand curves (on the usual axes) and mark the equilibrium point. Calculate the amount of consumer and producer surplus in equilibrium (please remember to include the appropriate units of measurement for your answer).

Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the initial short-run industry supply curve when there are 20 firms in the market. (Hint: You can disregard the portion of the supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is no output since this is the industry supply curve.) Next, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 40 firms. Finally, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 60 firms. (?) 80 72 Supply (20 firms) 64 Demand 58 33 Supply (40 firms) 40…
