- A government decides to set a price ceiling on eggs so that eggs are affordable to the poor. The conditions of demand and supply are given in the table below. What will the excess supply or the shortage be if the price ceiling is set at $2.00? Price Qd Qs $1.60 9,000 5,000 $2.00 8,500 5,500 $2.40 8,000 6,400 $2.80 7,500 7,500 $3.20 7,000 9,000 $3.60 6,500 11,000 $4.00 6,000 15,000 Question 50 options: a) 8,500 excess supply. b) 3,000 excess supply. c) 1,500 shortage. d) 3,000 shortage.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:Suppose the equation for supply of water is Qs=76+30PQs=76+30P, and the equation for demand for water looks like Qd=151−20PQd=151−20P, where PP is the price of a gallon and QQ is the number of gallons.Determine the shortage from the price ceiling if the government sets the maximum price of water as $1.30$1.30 per gallon. Write the exact answer. Do not round.
- The demand function is Q=10-0.67P. The supply function is Q=0.33P. a) Graph these functions (remember you need to find inverse demand and inverse supply to graph ). b)What is equilibrium price and quantity? c)If you impose a price floor of $12, what is the surplus/shortage? Show work. d)If you impose a price ceiling of $3, what is the surplus/shortage? Show work.Suppose that the market demand for coffee is Pd = 15 – Qd and the market supply is Ps = Qs – 5. What is the equilibrium price and quantity for coffee? Suppose that the government imposes a tax of $1 per unit to reduce coffee consumption and raise government revenues. What will be the new equilibrium quantity? What price will the buyer pay? What price will the seller receive?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)?

Suppose the government imposes a price ceiling of $60. 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 $60 will result in . Suppose the government imposes a price floor of $60. 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 $60 will result in . Instead of a price control, the government levies a tax on producers of $10. As a result, the new supply curve is: QSQS = = 4(P−10)4P−10 With this tax, the market price will be , the quantity supplied will be , and the quantity demanded will be . The passage of such tax will result in .What does each part of the graph stand for? Assume that a local government imposes a price ceiling of $8, how many units will be excessively supplied/demanded?
