A man borrows ₱6,400 from a loan association. In repaying this debt he has to pay ₱400 at the end of every 3 months on the principal and a simple interest of 16% on the principal outstanding at that time. Determine the total amount he has paid after paying all his debt.

1. Assume the following market demand curve: Q = 13 – 0.5P. Assume marginal cost is constant at $2.

Also assume there is a dominant firm with 6 identical competitive fringe suppliers. .

The following information will be useful for this problem:

           Residual Demand = Market Demand – Fringe Supply

           Total Fringe Supply: 3 + 0.5P

a. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity for the dominant firm and the average fringe firm.

b. Calculate the value consumer surplus (based on total output--the dominant firm + fringe).

c. Calculate the deadweight loss (based on total output--the dominant firm + fringe).

d. Calculate the profit for the dominant firm.

e. Illustrate the Demand, market price, market quantity, consumer surplus and deadweight loss(based on total output--the dominant firm + fringe) .
