In a competitive market, the market demand curve is Qd = 28 – 2p and the market supply curve is Qs = -8 + 2p.
In this problem, you will investigate how the price affects the producer and consumer surplus and calculate the deadweight loss under the restriction on the quantity traded.

In cellExcel.
D14, by using relative and absolute cell references, calculate the quantity
demanded at the price in cell C14. Copy the formula from cell D14 down the column to
cell D24.
In cell E14, by using relative and absolute cell references, calculate the quantity supplied
at the price in cell C14. Copy the formula from cell E14 down the column to cell E24.
In cell F14, by using relative and absolute cell references, calculate the consumer surplus
at the price in cell C14. Copy the formula from cell F14 down the column to cell F24.
In cell G14, by using relative and absolute cell references, calculate the producer surplus
at the price in cell C14. Copy the formula from cell G14 down the column to cell G24.
In cell F27, by using a cell reference, enter the equilibrium quantity.
In cell J27, by using a cell reference, enter the equilibrium price.
In cell H30, determine how an increase in price affects the consumer surplus.
In cell H33, determine how an increase in price affects the producer surplus.
In cell F36, by using cell references to the corresponding price and quantity values,
calculate the deadweight loss if the government limits the quantity traded to 6 units.
