Consider the market for wheat where demand is given by: Q=80-4p and supply is given by: Qs = 40 + 4p. Now suppose that, due to a market failure (an artificial shipping constraint), a maximum of 50.00 units of wheat can be supplied by firms in the market. The amount of the deadweight loss caused by the market failure is $. (Enter your answer rounded to the nearest penny and as a positive number.)

Calculate the value of equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity of the commodity Y.When,the demand and supply equations of a commodity Y in a perfectlycompetitive market are given by :Qd = 1100 - 2PQs = 600 + 3P
Consider a competitive market for the paper-making industry. The demand curve for paper is represented by the equation P = 120 – 2Q, while supply is represented by the equation P = 60 + Q, where Q is the quantity of paper (measured in tons) and P is the price of paper per ton for each paper mill (measured in dollars). Suppose the industry pollutes the environment by discharging waste chemicals that present a health risk to the public. a) What is the equilibrium price and quantity in the competitive market? b) Suppose the government determines that the social cost of unregulated paper-making activity is $30 per ton of paper. The government decides to internalise this activity through imposing the appropriate per unit tax on paper mills. What would be the socially optimal quantity of paper, and what would be the price for each paper mill?
Suppose that the cost of crude oil decreases from $25 to $20 for each barrel of heating oil produced. Assuming that the rest of the determinants of supply and demand for heating oil remain equal to their initial values, the market will eventually reach a new equilibrium price of per barrel.

the supply curve for product x is given by QxS= -340 + 10Px a. find the inverse supply curve P= + Q b. how much surplus do producers recieve when Qx= 350. when Qx= 1000
An economist estimates that a market has a demand curve of the form P = 26 - (0.867) Q and a supply curve of the form P = 0.5 + (1.21) Q. (See the curves graphed in the figure below.) Accordingly, she estimates that the equilibrium price ( P e) in the market will be $15.36 (or $15.355561). This means that the amount of the product bought and sold in the market must be ____.
Read the following scenario. Corn is a very valuable product for which the U.S. government routinely offers subsidies. With no price support, the equilibrium price for corn is $300 per ton and the equilibrium quantity is 500 million tons per year. Suppose that the government agrees to pay farmers $350 for every ton of corn they produce and can't sell in the market. According to the farmer's market supply curve, 600 million tons per year is supplied at the price of $350 a ton, so production should increase to this amount. However, domestic users of corn cut back their purchases. Only 450 million tons a year is demanded at the price of $350 a ton, and purchases decrease to this amount. Farmers continue to produce 500 million tons of corn per year, so because they produce a greater quantity of corn than domestic buyers are willing to purchase, something must be done with the surplus. To make the price support work, the government decides to buy the surplus. Step 2 Use the scenario to…
Supply and Demand Q1 Assume that the demand curve D(p) given below is the market demand for apples: Q=D(p)=280−20pQ=D(p)=280-20p, p > 0 Let the market supply of apples be given by: Q=S(p)=48+9pQ=S(p)=48+9p, p > 0 where p is the price (in dollars) and Q is the quantity. The functions D(p) and S(p) give the number of bushels demanded and supplied. What is the consumer surplus at the equilibrium price and quantity?
