Suppose that the demand curve for wheat is Q= 110 - 8p and the supply curve is Q= 4p. The government imposes a price support at p= 11 using a deficiency payment program. a. What are the quantity supplied, the price that clears the market, and the deficiency payment? The quantity supplied with the price support is 44 (round your answer to the nearest integer The market clearing price with the price support is $ 8.25 (round your answer to the nearest penny). The deficiency payment is $ 121 (round your answer to the nearest penny). b. What effect does this program have on consumer surplus, producer surplus, welfare, and deadweight loss? The change in consumer surplus (CS) is $ - 24 (round your answer to the nearest penny). The change in producer surplus (PS) is $74 (round your answer to the nearest penny). The deadweight loss (DWL) is $71 (round your answer to the nearest penny).

If the government establishes a support price for sugar $12 per cwt. (Hundered pounds) and is willing to buy up any surplus sugar at that price, indicate on your graph the quantity supplied, quantity demanded, and quantity purchased by the government. If the units are million cwt, how much money is required for the government purchases? Show this amount on your graph. Demand for sugar is: Q = 20 - PSupply for sugar is: Q = 2 + P I have calculated that the equilibrium is P = 9 and Q = 11 quantities are in million hundred weight (cwt) and price is dollars per cwt.

Consider a market that is initially in equilibrium and the equilibrium price and quantity are P and Q respectively. Then, the government decides to impose a price ceiling at a price of Pc that is less than P. Which of the following statements is correct? 1. After the price ceiling is imposed, the quantity demanded is less than the quantity supplied on the market. 2. After the price ceiling is imposed, the quantity actually sold in the market is lower than it was before the price ceiling was imposed. 3. Producer surplus in the market increased after the price ceiling was imposed. 4. Since Pc is less than P, the price ceiling is effective and therefore, there is no deadweight loss in the market.
Suppose the market demand for organic grass-fed beef is given by Q=100-2P and the supply is given by Q= P/2 (quantity is given in thousand pounds). A) Find the equilibrium price of a pound of beef and the equilibrium quantity. B) Find the consumer surplus (CS) and producer surplus (PS) at the market equilibrium point. C) How will the equilibrium change if the government imposes a price ceiling of $20/pound? D) Show this market with the price ceiling in a supply and demand graph. E) Consider that the consumers who bought the beef at $20/pound are the ones with the highest willingness to pay (scenario 1), what is the new consumer surplus (CSnew) and the new producer surplus (PSnew)? F) What is the deadweight loss (DWL) after the price ceiling in scenario 1? G) What would happen in this market if, instead, the consumers who bought the beef were the ones with the lowest willingness to pay (scenario 2)?

A government decides to set a price ceiling on bread so that bread is affordable to the poor. The conditions of demand and supply are given in the table below. What is the equilibrium price before the price ceiling? What will the excess supply or the shortage be if the price ceiling is set at $2.40?

Consider a market where the equilibrium price for a good is $17 and the equilibrium quantity is 350 units. Assume that the quantity supplied at an above - equilibrium price is 5 times the equilibrium quantity, and the quantity demanded at the above - equilibrium price is 1/3 the equilibrium quantity. Calculate the surplus in the market at the above - equilibrium price. If necessary, round any intermediate calculations to one decimal place and your final answer to the nearest whole number.
A market is described by the following supply and demand curves: QS = 3P QD = 400−P The equilibrium price is $ and the equilibrium quantity is . Suppose the government imposes a price ceiling of $120. This price ceiling is , and the market price will be $ . The quantity supplied will be , and the quantity demanded will be . Therefore, a price ceiling of $120 will result in . Suppose the government imposes a price floor of $120. This price floor is , and the market price will be $ . The quantity supplied will be and the quantity demanded will be . Therefore, a price floor of $120 will result in . Instead of a price control, the government levies a tax on producers of $40. As a result, the new supply curve is:
