Question

Hello Experts, 

I have attached two pictures. The first picture is the graph that should be used to answer the question. The second picture has parts and b. Some intermediate questions are answered through dropdowns, so I have edited the second image and provided the options that you would have seen in the dropdowns. 

 Some of the answers provided to me in the past by experts have been wrong, kindly consider the question's aspects in an accurate manner. 

 

*note that the platform allows you to toggle certain values which change the graph - you will have to mentally do this in order to solve the question*

 

Thank you, Experts. 

 

a)
In this market, the equilibrium price is s
per box, and the equilibrium quantity of oranges is
million boxes.
b)
For each of the prices listed in the following table, determine the quantity of oranges demanded, the quantity of oranges supplied, and the direction of
pressure exerted on prices in the absence of any price controls.

A price ceiling below $25 per box in this market will
cause a shortage?
Because it takes many years before newly planted orange trees bear fruit, the supply curve in the short run is almost vertical. In the long run, farmers
can decide whether to plant oranges on their land, to plant something else, or to sell their land altogether. Therefore, the long-run supply of oranges is
much more price sensitive than the short-run supply of oranges.
Assuming that the long-run demand for oranges is the same as the short-run demand, you would expect a price ceiling that is set below the
equilibrium price to result in a
in the long run than in the short run.
