A group of researchers has estimated the marginal social benefits of improvements in soil fertility per acre to be: P = -1.25Q +20 The government is considering options for supporting farmers to improve soil fertility. The government can set a fee of either $7.50, $5, $2.00 or $0 on nitrogen fertilizers. The marginal cost of providing the program is constant at $5 per acre. • What is consumer surplus under each of the government pricing options? • What is the government revenue under each pricing scenario? • What is the cost to the government under each pricing scenario? • What is the government (producer) surplus under each of the pricing options? • What options maximize total social benefits? Explain your answer.
Suppose price is 5 percent above equilibrium intwo markets: a market for a necessity and a marketfor a luxury good. All else equal (including supplyconditions), in which market do you expect deadweight loss to be greater? Explain.
In a competitive market in which P = 100 − 2Q is the inverse demand for fuel and P = 10 + Q is the inverse supply of fuel. Calculations are preferred, but you may use a graph for partial Without a tax, what is the market-clearing price and output, P and Q? What is the consumer surplus and producer surplus (with no tax) If a tax on fuel is set at $15, how much fuel will be purchased? You can assume that the buyers pay the tax (but it doesn’t matter). What is the deadweight loss of the tax? Thanks!
The market supply and demand for solar panels are given respectively by QS = 80P – 5,000 and QD = 65,000 – 20P, where P is price per solar panel and Q measures the quantity of solar panels. Suppose the government provides a £100 subsidy per solar panel. A. Calculate the price and equilibrium quantity before the government subsidy. B. Calculate the post-subsidy equilibrium quantity, the prices consumers pay and the price producers receive C. How much does the subsidy program cost the government? (3%)
Market efficiency and market fallure The following graph shows equalibrium in a free market, with equilibrium quantity of Q_( bar(E)). For any level of output equal to Q_(E), a buyer values a unit of goods in this market Jess than the unit will cost a seller. Suppose now that a firm that produces for this market hires a private security force, reducing crime not only in their factory, but also in the small town In which it is located. This is an example of due to Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.
13 sellers and 13 buyers are each willing to buy or sell one unit of a good, with values {$13, $12, $11, $10, $9, $8, $7, $6, $5, $4, $3, $2, $1}. If the market is competitive but the cost of market-making is $4 per transaction, the equilibrium quantity traded in the market is a. 4 b. 7 c. 9 d. 5.
Consider that the market for soybeans is defined by the following demand and supply equations: QD = 200 - 10P and QS = 20P - 100, where P is the price in dollars and Q measures the quantity in tons per quarter. The market is currently in equilibrium. Now consider that after much lobbying by the United Farmers Association, the government imposes a price control of $12.50 in this market, with no additional government support. 1.Given the current market environment, what is the total surplus in the market? 2.Describe the current market outcome. As the result of the government’s policy, the current market outcome is __________(efficient ? not efficient?). The quantity traded is __________(less than ? greater than ?) the quantity traded before the government intervention, and price sellers ( farmers) receive per ton is __________(equal to 10? equal to 12.50? less than 10? less than 12.50 and greater than 10?). Additionally, as a result of the government’s policy sellers seem to be…
Wood is used extensively for chairs and is produced in the market. There are equations for the Supply and Inverse Demand of wood for chairs that model its Supply and Demand graph. These equations are (for supply), P = 2Qs, and (for Inverse Demand), P = 10 - 2Qd. Likewise, wood has become very expensive, so the government places a price ceiling of $1. (Part I) Draw the market equilibrium with the government intervention (Q**, P**) of the price ceiling. Please label the graph for slopes, equilibrium points, price ceiling, etc. (Part II) What is the market equilibrium with the intervention of the government (Q**, P**)? (Part III) Based on what you have calculated so far and the given information, is there excess demand or excess supply in the equilibrium? If there is, indicate specifically the type of excess and determine the value of this excess. (Part IV) Are consumers benefiting from this price ceiling in this given scenario? Please compare the market equilibrium without any…
The supply and demand curve for product X is given as: Qd=160- 50P; Qs= 30P+16 : a. Price and equilibrium in product market X?\ b. Suppose the government stipulates a price of $2.3/a product. + Calculate surplus or shortage of X (If any) + Calculates the change in the surplus of producers, consumers, and deadweight loss.
A market has a demand function given by the equation Qd= 180- 2P, and a supply function given by the equation Qs= -15+P. The market is government regulated with a price support per unit and production quotas. a) if all price set is set at $72 per unit, what is the production quota is needed to make sure there are no shortage of surpluses? Considering the price support amd the quota, calculate i) the consumer surplus ii) the producer surplus iii) deadweight loss
The market for soda beverages demand is QD = 90-20P and supply is QS = 30P-10. Price is measured in dollars per one-gallon bottle and quantity in millions of one-gallon bottles a) Find the equilibrium quantity and price in the market for soda and compute Consumer Surplus and Producer Surplus when the market is in equilibrium. As that problem noted, sweetened beverages contribute to the over consumption of high-fructose corn syrup with negative consequences for public health. Suppose that each extra one-gallon bottle of soda sold in the market imposes a $1 external cost on state and federal governments that see Medicare and Medicaid diabetes-related expenditure increase. b) What is the total external cost that the soda beverages industry imposes on the government? Suppose that a $1 per bottle tax is imposed on sellers of soda beverages. What is the new equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity in the market for soda beverages? c) How much consumer surplus and how much producer surplus…
