Answer:

The Producer surplus = 19.6.

consumer surplus = 12.25.

Aggregate supply = 31.85.

Explanation:

Normally, the demand equilibrium function equals to supply equilibrium function will get us the price which is $3 that is Qd = Qs. Hence, if we equate both function together like;

15 - 2P = 5P - 6.

15 +6 = 5P + 2P.

21 = 7P.

P = $3.

Thus, Qd = 15 - 2P= 15 - 2(3) = 15 - 6 = 9 units.

Qs = 5P - 6 = 5(3) - 6 = 15 - 6 = 9.

Therefore, if the price is going to be Increased by $4, we will have that;

Qd = 15 - 2P= 15 - 2(4) = 15 - 8 = 7 units.

=> The Producer surplus = 1/2 × 14 (4 - 1.2) = 19.6.

=> consumer surplus = 1/2 × 7 (7.5 - 4) = 12.25.

Aggregate supply = Producer surplus + consumer surplus = 19.6 + 12.25 = 31.85.

HERE IS/ARE THE FULL QUESTION(S):

The small island nation of Kaboom is a simple economy with no​ government, no​ taxes, and no imports or exports. Kaboomers​ (citizens of​ Kaboom) are creatures of habit. They have a rule that everyone saves exactly 40 percent of income. Assume that planned investment is fixed and remains at 225 million Kaboomian dollars. Further assume that autonomous consumption​ (independent of​ Y) is​ zero, so consumption​ (C) is MPC times Upper YMPC×Y.

The following data are estimates for the island of​ Kaboom:

bullet• Real GNP​ (Y): 422 million Kaboomian dollars

bullet• Planned investment spending ​(I)​:225 million Kaboomian dollars

You are asked by the business editor of the Explosive Times​, the local​ newspaper, to predict the economic events of the next few months.

Based on the data​ given, you predict inventories will DECREASE and the level of real GNP will INCREASE.

Things will stop changing when SAVINGS EQUAL INVESTMENT.

Kaboom's economy will reach equilibrium when its real GNP​ = 563 MILLION Kaboomian dollars

Healthcare depended on the amount of government budget each year, which could reduce the quality of the healthcare as the budget decreased.
