Consider a free market with demand equal to QQ = 900 − 10PP and supply equal to QQ = 20PP. Now the government imposes a $15 per unit subsidy on the production of the good. What is the consumer surplus now? The producer surplus? Why is there a deadweight loss associated with the subsidy, and what is the size of this loss?

Suppose the supply of a good by domestic firms is QSD = 10 + 2P and the supply by foreign firms is QSF = 10 + P. The domestic demand for the product is given by Qd = 30 − P. 1. In the absence of a quota, what is the total supply of the good? 2. What are the equilibrium price and quantity of the good? 3. Suppose a quota of 10 units is imposed. What is the total supply of the product? 4. Determine the equilibrium price in the domestic market under the quota of 10 units.
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)?

If the government were to subsidize housing by $1000 per unit per month, then the quantity of rental apartments would____ (increase or decrease) by____ thousand units. The rental price received by landlords inclusive of the subsidy would ____(increase or decrease) by_____ dollars per month while the price paid by tenants, net of the subsidy, would____ (increase or decrease) by____ dollars per month
Assume that the monthly demand for Gala apple in the US is given by q=1200-300p and quantity is in million pounds. The monthly supply of Gala is q= -200+400p for p>$0.5. Now assume that the government has imposed a quantity tax equal to $0.14 on each pound of apple. What is the new equilibrium consumer price, producer price and quantity?
