Suppose the government imposes a price ceiling of $80. 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 $80 will result in . Suppose the government imposes a price floor of $80. 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 $80 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: QSQS = = 3(P−40)3P−40 With this tax, the market price will be , the quantity supplied will be , and the quantity demanded will be . The passage…

Note that parts f) and g) do not depend on the other parts and could be completed before or after parts a) to e). Two different boutique wineries supply two towns: town A and town B. Winery 1 supplies town A and Winery 2 supplies town B. Both wineries have a constant marginal cost c = 20. Assume that consumers are indifferent between the wines from different wineries and that they purchase wine only in the town they live. Demand for wine in town A is given by pA=40−12qA; the demand for wine in town B is given by pB=70−qB. f) For parts f) & g) only, please assume that the total demand for wine (from both towns) is given by p = 125 - Q. Assume now that due to the new government regulation, the companies broke up and went back to operating as Wineries 1 and 2. Each winery can now supply both towns and still has a marginal cost of 20. If Wineries 1 and 2 decide how much wine to produce simultaneously, what is the equilibrium price, quantity sold and profit of each winery? g) For…
The value of a price-distorting subsidy for a three-bedroom apartment is $100 per month. This means that the person choosing to live in an apartment of that size would have to pay an extra $100 per month at the market rent. Then it follows that: A.that person would be just as well off if she received a cash subsidy of less than $100 per month. B.that person would be better off if she received a cash subsidy of $100 per month. C.that person would be better off if she received a cash subsidy of $100 per month, or that person would be just as well off if she received a cash subsidy of less than $100 per month D.that person would be worse off if she received a cash subsidy of $100 per month.

A tax on gasoline will have a smaller deadweight loss if the demand for gas is inelasticthan if it is elastic.11. If the solar panel industry is competitive, the marginal firm makes zero profits in the longrun.12. The supply of goods depends on the vertical aggregation of individual demands.13. Applying dynamic efficiency to non-depletable renewable energy is not necessary becauseits quantity will not in the future.14. Given a competitive oil market and zero extraction cost, dynamic efficiency entails that thecurrent oil price equals the present discounted value of the future price.
Question 8888 The alternative policy is to introduce a tax of $3,000 on the sale of newcars. Under this policy, determine the price paid by consumers, the price received byfirms, and the number of new cars sold. Finally, determine what share of the tax ispaid for my consumers and what share is paid for by firms. Remember that we can simulate a tax by shifting the supply curve vertically by the amount of the tax. Full explain this question and text typing work only thanks
Suppose the government of the island has decided to give consumers a more attractive price for tomatoes by imposing a fixed, per unit subsidy. Thus, start with the original demand (Qd = 450 - 100P) and supply (Qs = 50P) and analyze this new intervention, the subsidy. The subsidy works like this: each tomato seller receives a 3-dollar refund for each kilogram of tomatoes sold. Write down the equation for the new "effective supply" curve. Determine the new equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price. What is the price that the consumers will pay for their tomatoes? What is the price that the producers will effectively earn for their tomatoes, inclusive of the subsidy? How much will the government spend on tomato subsidies in this case in total? (Recall the units of measurement: P is the price in dollars per kilogram of tomatoes; and Q is the quantity of tomatoes, expressed in thousands of kilograms.) Graphically depict the new equilibrium complete with (solved) values for the new…
