Refer to Figure 6-7. Which of the following statements is not correct? a. A government-imposed price of $10 would be a binding price floor if market demand is Demand A and a nonbinding price ceiling if market demand is Demand B. b. A government-imposed price of $4 would be a binding price ceiling if market demand is either Demand A or Demand B. c. A government-imposed price of $10 would be a binding price ceiling if market demand is either Demand A or Demand B. d. A government-imposed price of $8 would be a binding price floor if market demand is Demand A and a binding price ceiling if market demand is Demand B
Asap In the case of a binding price ceiling, the price paid in the market will be: more than the free market equilibrium price. less than the free market equilibrium price. equal to the free market equilibrium price. unable to be compared with the free market equilibrium price.
Table 6-1 The following table contains the demand schedule and supply schedule for a market for a particular good. Suppose sellers of the good successfully lobby Congress to impose a price floor $2 above the equilibrium price in this market. Price (Dollars per unit) Quantity Demanded (Units) Quantity Supplied (Units) 0 15 0 1 13 3 2 11 6 3 9 9 4 7 12 5 5 15 6 3 18 Refer to Table 6-1. How many units of the good are purchased after the imposition of the price floor? a. 10 b. 5 c. 15 d. 9
Suppose that a market is described by the following supply and demand equations: QS= 2P QD= 300 - P a. Solve for the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity. b. Suppose that a tax of T is placed on buyers, so the new demand equation is QD= 300 - (P + 1) Solve for the new equilibrium. What happens to the price received by sellers, the price paid by buyers, and the quantity sold? c. Tax revenue is Tx Q. Use your answer from part (b) to solve for tax revenue as a function of T.Graph this relationship for T between 0 and 300. d. The deadweight loss of a tax is the area of the triangle between the supply and demand curves. Recalling that the area of a triangle is 1/2 x base x height, solve for deadweight loss as a function of T.Graph this relationship for T between 0 and 300. (Hint Looking sideways, the base of the deadweight loss triangle is T, and the height is the difference between the quantity sold with the tax and the quantity sold without the tax.) e. The government now…
The market demand and supply functions for potatoes are: QD = 2,000 - 500P and QS = 800 + 100P. To help potato producers, the government is considering legislation that would put a price floor at $2.25 per bag. If this price floor is implemented, determine (i) how many bags of potatoes will the government be forced to buy to keep the price at $2.25; (ii) how much government will spend in total; and (iii) how much producer- and consumer -surplus changes.
Suppose the supply and demand curves for a particular product are given by:QS = -20 + 2P QD =100 - 2Pwhere QS and QD are quantities in units and P is the price per unit. Suppose the government implements a price ceiling of $20/unit in this market. Is this price ceilingbinding on the market? What are the quantities demanded and supplied at the price ceiling? Howmany units are exchanged at this price? Given the effects of the policy, is there a potential forillegal trade? Briefly explain your answers where necessary.
In the market for cotton, the quantity demanded, and quantity supplied are expressed mathematically as QD = 700 - 100P and QS = 150P - 300, where P is the price per pound of cotton and Q measures pounds of cotton. Suppose the government sets a price ceiling of $2.50 per pound of cotton. How big is the shortage resulting from the price ceiling? What is the level of consumer surplus with the price ceiling? What is the value of the deadweight loss associated with the price ceiling?
Which of the following would increase quantity supplied, increase quantity demanded and decrease the price that consumers consumers pay? a. The imposition of a binding price floor b. The repeal of a tax levied on producers c. The passage of a tax levy on producers d. The removal of a binding price floor
Price ($/lb) Quantity Supplied (thousands of lbs per day) Quantity Demanded (thousands of lbs per day) 1.5 8 14 2 9 13 2.5 10 12 3 11 11 3.5 12 10 4 13 9 Now, suppose that instead of a price ceiling, the government simply pays flour sellers a subsidy of $1/lb on flour sales. How much flour would be sold? How much would consumers now pay for flour? How much would producers be paid in total for each pound of flour sold? On a separate graph, depict the equilibrium from question 1, alongside the equilibrium with the subsidy. XXXX
Question The supply of candy is given by Qs = 20,000P where Qs is bags of candy supplied per year and P is the price per bag. The demand for candy is given by Qd = 150,000 – 30,000P a. Assuming that candy is sold in a competitive market, what is the equilibrium price and quantity? b. To discourage the consumption of candy, the government levies a tax on consumers in the amount of $1 per bag. What is the new equilibrium quantity? c. What is the impact of the tax on welfare in this market?
Consider a market where supply and demand are given by QS =P-20 and QD =130-2P, respectively. Suppose the government imposes a price ceiling of £44. Calculate the deadweight loss as a result of this price ceiling.
Consider the following market. Demand is given by Qd= 5- P where Qd is the quantity demand and P is the price. Supply is given by Qs = P/2 where Qs is the quantity supplied. a. What is the market equilibrium quantity and price? b Calculate consumer, producer and total surplus c. Suppose the government imposes a price floor of P = 4. Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss.
