One of the following would not to lead to a deadweight loss. Which one? Select one: a. A tax imposed on sellers when demand is downward sloping and supply is perfectly elastic b. A price ceiling that is set below the equilibrium price c. A subsidy paid to sellers when both demand and supply are elastic, but not infinite d. A tax imposed on sellers when demand is perfectly inelastic e. All the above will result to a deadweight loss
The demand and supply functions for box office movie rentals on satellite TV are given as: Qd =200 000 -4 000P and Qs = 20 000 + 2 000P 3.1 Calculate the consumer and producer surplus in this market. If the government implements a price ceiling of $15 on the price of rental service, calculate the new levels of consumer and producer surplus. Are all consumers better off? Are producers better off?

A recent study found that the demand and supply schedules for Anti-virus software are as follows: Price per Anti-virus Software Quantity Demand Quantity Supply 11$ 1 million Anti-virus software 15 million Anti-virus software 10 2 12 9 4 9 8 6 6 7 8 3 6 10 1 Questions: Anti-virus software. As a result, government impose a price ceiling $7. What is the new market price? How many Anti-virus software are sold? What situation it will causes? Explain with a graph.
In a particular market, 3,000 products are sold every month. A new government policy restricts the quantity sold to 2,500. This allows sellers of the product to raise prices, increasing producer surplus in the market by $7,000, but decreasing consumer surplus by $9,000. What is the deadweight loss associated with the policy?

Suppose that after a successful lobbying campaign by chocolate producers, the government imposes a price floor of $7 per pound. The price floor will lead to a surplus of pounds of chocolate. After a few years, chocolate producers are not happy. They realize that compared to the market equilibrium, their total revenue has fallen by $ . To compensate the chocolate producers, the government agrees to buy the entire surplus chocolate at the $7 price floor. Chocolate producers rejoice. Compared to the market equilibrium, their total revenue has now increased by $ .
The demand curve for wheat is Q=140−10p Supply curve is Q=10p. Equilibrium quantity is 70. Equilibrium price is $7. The government imposes a price ceiling of p=$3 per unit. Equilibrium quantity with the price ceiling is 30. What effect does this ceiling have on consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss?
