In Rivendell live the finest jewellery making elves. The local demand and supply of jewelleries in Revendell are given by QD = 16 – 3P QS = 5P We assume the market in Rivendell is perfectly competitive. The jewelleries are highly desired by men, and the price is PW=3 in human society. Assume the elves in Rivendell are price takers. 1. Calculate the producer surplus after the introduction of subsidy. Use a demand and supply diagram to explain your answers. With the subsidy, are the producers better off compared to the pre-Covid period?

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…

q)33The demand curve for a certain product is given by p(q) = 551 -q^2. The supply curve is given by p(g) = 1.3q^2. Find the producer surplus at equilibrium. The producer surplus at equilibrium is blank If necessary, round to two decimal places. Do not include units.
The Australian Government believes that maintaining a viable airline industry is essential to the long term sustainability of the country’s tourism - so in order to support them in a post covid travel environment they are proposing to subsidise the purchase of tickets. The demand for tickets is given by Qd = 5000 − 10P and the supply is Qs = 2000 + 10P. (a) Solve for the equilibrium price and quantity in this market, and calculate producer and consumer surplus. (b) Suppose the government offers a $100 per ticket as a subsidy, recalculate the equilibrium price and quantity to reflect the subsidy. What will be the price paid by ticket buyers be and the price received by sellers? (c) How much will the subsidy program cost the government and what will be its net effect on the total surplus?
The market for used economics textbooks is perfectly competitive, with a market supply curve given by P = 6 + 2Q and market demand curve given by P = 42 – Q, leading to an equilibrium of P = 30 and Q = 12.

Determine the new CS and PS, the cost of the subsidy, and the amount of deadweight loss created by the policy.
