Compute the consumer and producer surplus


As it turns out Chipmunch operates in a perfectly competitive market with 199 other potato chips producers. All 200 producers have the same cost function as Chipmunch, and they all take the market price for potato chips as given. Demand for potato chips is given

by QD =150 - 25p , where p represents the price of a bag of chips.

Derive the market supply function QS ( p) for potato chips. Find the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for potato chips. Compute the consumer and producer surplus (or show what these are in a sketch that represents the situation in the market).
