A4 Suppose that good X is traded in a competitive market. The market clearing price is $25.00 and the quantity supplied is 200. A proposed change in government policy is expected to cause the market price to increase by $1.50. Previous studies suggest that the price elasticity of supply is about 1.5. Assuming the supply schedule is linear, calculate the change in producer surplus from the government's policy shift. Round your answer to 1 decimal place and report it in the box below. Don't include the dollar sign, but if producer surplus decreases, be sure to include a negative sign in your response. your answer is
