This document contains 3 questions about willingness to pay, willingness to accept, and welfare related to shrimp and fish markets.
1. The first question asks to analyze a shrimp market defined by demand and supply functions, determine willingness to pay and accept, find the equilibrium quantity and price, and calculate consumer and producer surplus.
2. The second question looks at the impact of water pollution on a freshwater fish market, estimating the breakdown of community welfare and whether they are better off.
3. The third question considers how increased demand during festivals impacts the original freshwater fish market equilibrium.

accept & welfare 1. The profile of shrimp market in a particular fishing district is defined by the amount of shrimp landings over a period of time. A study reveals that the market is defined by the demand (DD) function P = 20000-1130.5Q and supply (SS) function P = 3500+1120.2Q. Answer the following questions: a. Using Excel, draw the graph to show the DD and SS profiles of shrimp b. Determine the willingness to pay (WTP) and willingness to accept (WTA) of the market participants. c. Determine the optimum quantity and price of shrimp in the market. d. Calculate the total welfare of the market participants by estimating consumer and producer surpluses. 2. The initial consumers’ demand (DD) function for freshwater fish is given by P = 25000-1520.5Q while that of producers’ supply (SS) function is given by P = 5500+1538Q. [Both per thousand metric tons] A survey revealed that as much as RM 1.50/kg was unpaid by agricultural producers as a result of their water-polluting pesticides application on crops.
Estimate the break-down of community’s welfare in the
area. Are they “better off”? Show the results in a graph.
3. Refer to Question 2. Despite water-polluting pesticides
application by farmers, demand for fish increases during festive seasons. This increase is approximately estimated as P = 5500+1538Q. Determine the new equilibrium of demand and supply. Use a graph to illustrate your answer.
