None In Example 9.1. we calculated the gains and losses from price controls on natural gas and found that there was a deadweight loss of $5.68 billion.This calculation was based on a price of oil of $50 per barrel and utilized the following equations:Supply: Q = 15.90 +0.72PG + 0.05PoDemand: Q = 0.02-1.8PG + 0.69Powhere Q and Q are the quantities supplied and demanded, each measured in trillion cubic feet (Tcf), PG is the price of natural gas in dollars perthousand cubic feet ($/mcf), and Po is the price of oil in dollars per barrel ($/b).If the price of oil were $65.00 per barrel, what would be the free-market price of gas?With a $65.00 price of oil per barrel, the free-market price of gas would be $ 10.20 per thousand cubic foot. (Enter your response rounded to twodecimal places.)How large a deadweight loss would result if the maximum allowable price of natural gas were $5.00 per thousand cubic feet?Deadweight loss if the price of natural gas were regulated to be $5.00 would be $billion. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)

Many studies on rats and mice have established that charred meat grilled over hot coals causes cancer. Since the government cannot easily regulate home cooking methods, an alternative method has been proposed to discourage the consumption of barbecued meat. The proposal is to place a 100 percent tax at the retail level on charcoal briquets. Suppose the daily demand for charcoal was P= 100-Q/10 and the supply was P= 1 + Q./100 where P is in dollars per bag and Q is the number of 20 lb bags of charcoal sold weekly. a. What is the before and after - tax price of charcoal? b. Graph and show the deadweight loss due to the tax c. Why might this deadweight loss over estimate the loss to society from this tax?
On the Virus island the inverse demand function for masks is given by the formula P=360-Q, where P - price, Q - quantity. The inverse supply function of masks takes the form P=Q. The government of this island decides to support the production of masks by introducing a subsidy per unit equal to 40. What will be the producers’ surplus under these new conditions? a. 15 000 b. 18 000 c. 24 400 d. 20 000 D 20,000 is the correct answer please show the steps
Suppose the equilibrium price for soccer tickets in a free market results in 15,000 tickets being purchased. Major League Soccer has decided to impose a price control of $19 per ticket. At a price of $19, soccer teams would be willing to supply 11000 tickets. At this price, consumers are willing to purchase 25500 tickets. Which of the following is a result of the price control?There will be a __ of ___ tickets
Suppose that the demand curve for cigarettes in Euroland is given by QD = 26.9 − 1.71P , and that the supply curve is given by QS = 9.62 + 2.13P. The equilibrium price is €4.50 and the equilbrium quantity is 19.2.The government is thinking about imposing a tax of €0.40 on cigarettes.The price that suppliers will receive after the tax is €4.10€4.32€4.72€4.50
For this question, suppose the market for widgets is perfectly competitive and the government introduces a per-unit $1 tax on widgets. Post-tax, quantity of widgets sold in market equals 100. Why could the deadweight loss caused by the tax be greater than the tax revenue collected?
The demand and supply curves for a price taking firm are as follows: Qd = 10- 0.5 Pd Qs= -2+Ps, when Ps>=2 Qs= 0, when Ps<2 where Qd is the quantity demanded when the price consumers pay is Pd, and Qs is the quantity supplied when the price producers receive is Ps. Answer the questions below: Suppose the government imposes an excise tax of 3 TL per unit. What will the new equilibrium quantity be? What price will buyers pay? What price will sellers receive? Calculate consumer surplus (CS), producer surplus (PS) and deadweight (DWL) loss in this case. (Use a diagram while answering the question, show CS, PS and DWL loss areas in your diagram.
The following two linear functions represent a market (thus one is a supply function, the other a demand function). Circle the answer closest to being correct. Approximately what will the quantity demanded be if the government controls the market price to be $3.00 (You must first find the market equilibrium price and quantity in order to see how the $3.00 relates to them)? Q = 100 – 4.6P and Q = 75 + 6.2P 2 There has been a change in the market (represented in 1 above). The change is represented by the following two equations. Circle the one correct conclusion that describes the market change. Q = 65 + 6.2P and Q = 80 – 4.6P 3 Circle the function on the answer sheet that represents the marginal revenue (MR) function for this demand function: Q = 150 – 5P
35-37. The market for widgets has the following supply and demand curves: Supply: P = 10 + (1/3)Q Demand: P = 100 – (1/2)Q Initially, the market is in equilibrium at P = $46, Q = 108. Questions 35 through 37 concern this market. 35. Suppose the government opens the border to free trade in widgets and foreign suppliers have a perfectly elastic supply at a price of $40 per unit.

Suppose that you decide to start a new business of making children’s ready-made garments. Make a (Hypothetical) linear supply schedule with 7 different price points and corresponding quantity supplied for your business. Make a graph showing equilibrium, shortage and surplus in the ready-made garments market. Give interpretation of this graph. Suppose cheap ready-made garments are imported from China. Draw a graph to show changes in equilibrium price and quantity for the Pakistani ready-made garments market. Give interpretation of this graph. Suppose that to boost the local industry, the Pakistani government gives subsidy on electricity prices. Draw a graph to show changes in equilibrium price and quantity. Give interpretation of this graph. Suppose that cheap cloth is imported from China for production of readymade garments and at the same time tourism in Pakistan increases bringing many more buyers of ready-made garments in the market. What will be impact on equilibrium price and…
Assume the market for one bedroom apartments in a large city has the following demand and supply functions, where R is the monthly rent in dollars and Q is the number of one bedroom apartments: Demand: R = 700 – Q Supply: R = 100 + 2Q The government imposes a rent ceiling of $400 per month Draw a graph of the market. Be sure to fully and clearly label the graph, including: the Supply and Demand curves (as D and S respectively), Equilibrium Quantity (Q*), Equilibrium Price (R*), Rent Ceiling (Rc), Quantity Demanded with the Rent Ceiling (Qdc) and Quantity Supplied with the rent ceiling (Qsc).
Gasoline for cars is produced in a market. There are equations for the Supply and Inverse Demand of car gasoline that model its Supply and Demand graph. These equations are (for supply), P = 20 + Qs, and (for Inverse Demand), P = 80 - Qd. Due to gasoline shortages, some sellers may be able to get access to more gasoline and produce it better than others. As a result, the federal government placed a quantity restriction of 15 units on the sellers. (Part I) Draw the market equilibrium with the government intervention (Q** and P**) of the quantity restriction. Please label the graph for slopes, the equilibrium point, etc. (Part II) What is the market equilibrium without the intervention of the government? (Part III) The government decided that the previous quantity restriction was not sufficient. So, it increased the restriction from 15 units to 20 units. Consequently, what is the new market equilibrium point with this new intervention? It is not necessary to label this point on the…
Suppose the demand and supply of firearms in Jail are given as follows: Demand: P = 630 − 349Q Supply: P = 480 + 2Q in which Q is the quantity of firearms in million units and P is the price per each firearm in Jalian dollars. a. The equilibrium price is [ANS1] Jalian dollars and the equilibrium quantity is [ANS2] million units. b. Suppose the government purchases 10 million units of firearms back from the market. After the government enters the market, on the new demand curve, when the price is 555 Jalian dollars, the total quantity demanded is [ANS3] million units of firearms. c. Suppose the government wants to use such buyback program to reduce the quantity of firearms in the community to zero. The government will need to buy at least [ANS4] million units of firearms from the market and spend at least [ANS5] million dollars. d. Suppose the government wants to use taxation to reduce the quantity of firearms in the community to zero. The government will need to impose a…
