Question

(c) Due to good weather, there is an increase in demand for the good. The new demand equation is Qd = 190 - 2P. The government is trying to decide between two options:

Maintain the number of quotas and let the market adjust, or
Maintain the price support and increase the number of quotas.

Suppose that the government decided to maintain the number of quotas and let the market adjust calculate:

(i) price observed in the market

(ii) the consumer surplus

(iii) the producer surplus

(iv) deadweight loss

Definition Definition Consumer surplus is the consumers' gain from trade. The consumer surplus is the area below the demand curve but above the equilibrium price, up to the equilibrium quantity. Producer surplus is the producer's gain from trade. The producer surplus is the area above the supply curve but below the equilibrium price, up to the equilibrium quantity. Consumer surplus is represented by Area A and producer surplus is represented by Area B.
