Question: Social Gain The average quantity of sculptures consumers will demand can be modeled as $D(p)=-1.003 p^{2}-20.689 p+850.375$ sculptures, and the average quantity that producers will supply can be modeled as

\[S(p)=\left\{ \begin{array}{*{35}{l}} 0\text{ sculptures} & \text{when}\,\,p<4.5 \\ 0.256{{p}^{2}}+8.132p & {} \\ +250.097\text{ sculptures} & \text{when}\,\,p\ge 4.5 \\ \end{array} \right.\]

where the market price is \(p\) hundred dollars per sculpture.

  1. How much are consumers willing and able to spend for 20 sculptures?
  2. How many sculptures will producers supply at $\$ 500$ per sculpture? Will supply exceed demand at this quantity?
  3. Determine the total social gain when sculptures are sold at the equilibrium price.
