What is the relationship between quantity Demanded and quantity supplied at equilibrium? What is the relationship when there is a shortage? What is the relationship when them is a surplus?
The government decides to impose a price ceiling on a good because it thinks the market-determined price is too high. If it imposes the price ceiling above the equilibrium price: consumers will purchase less of the good after the price ceiling is imposed. neither producers nor consumers will change their behavior. O producers will respond to the higher price and therefore offer fewer units for sale O consumers will respond to the higher price and therefore wish to purchase less of the good than at the equilibrium price.
Market researches have studied the market for milk,and their estimates for the supply of and the demand for milk per month are as follows:a.Using the data,graph the demand for and the supply for milk.Identify the equilibrium point as E,and use dotted lines to connect E to the equilibrium price onthe price axis and the equilibrium quantity on the quantity axis.b.Suppose the government enacts amilk price support of $8per gallon.Indicate this action on your graph,and explain the effect on the milk market?Why would the government establish such a price support?c.Now assume the government decides to set a price ceiling of $4 dollar per gallon.Show and explain how this legal price effects your graph of the milk market.What objective could the government be trying to achieve by establishing such a price ceiling?
The government in your country is considering three programs that affect the market for cigarettes. Program 1: Media campaign and labeling requirements aimed at making the public aware of the dangers of cigarette smoking. Program 2: A price support program for tobacco farmers. Program 3: A cap on the number of cases of cigarettes sold per quarter at 20,000 cases. I. Determine the impact of an the market for cigarettes if program 1 is implemented by stating what will happen to supply, price, quantity and demanded. ii. Determine the impact of on the market for cigarettes if program 2 is implemented by stating what Will happen to demand,supply, price and quantity. iii. Determine the impact of an the market for cigarettes if program 3 is Implemented by stating what will happen to demand,supply,price and quantity.
a) In the market for sugary drinks, the current equilibrium price is $10 and the equilibrium quantity is 30. The demand choke price is $50 and the supply choke price is $5 (a) Draw a demand and supply diagram, and shade the regions that represent consumer and producer welfare. Calculate the Total welfare in this market b) In this market, you now know that E D = −0.4 and E S = 1.2. Redraw your diagram in part (a) with the correct sloping curves. In this part you do not have to shade the welfare regions. All you need to do is redraw the diagram with the same equilibrium price and quantity, and choke prices but adjust the slope of each curve to reflect their respective elasticity c) If a tax was to be implemented in this market, what percentage of the burden is borne by the buyer? d) The government plans to discourage the consumption of sugary drinks and as such, they implemented a $1 tax on every bottle produced. In this situation, the suppliers are taxed directly but they hope to pass…

The fall in the price of Netflix decreases the supply of Netflix.” Explain what is wrong with this statement.
2. Below is the market information for rental housing in an urban market: Demand P₁ = $4000 Q = 0 P₂ = $2000 Q = 40 Supply Q. = 60 P. = $3000 P, = $1000 Q, = 20 a. Construct the graph for the market of rental housing based on this data. b. Set a price ceiling at $1000.00 per unit of rental housing and describe the results. 3. Below are the equations for the quantity demanded and quantity supplied for a given market. Using the equations please find the equilibrium price quantity. Remember, at equilibrium Q, - 2- 40 - 4P = Q | 10+ 6P = Q
