12 . Problems and Applications Q10 A market is described by the following supply and demand curves: QSQS = = 3P3P QDQD = = 400−P400−P The equilibrium price is and the equilibrium quantity is . Suppose the government imposes a price ceiling of $80. This price ceiling is , and the market price will be . The quantity supplied will be , and the quantity demanded will be . Therefore, a price ceiling of $80 will result in . Suppose the government imposes a price floor of $80. This price floor is , and the market price will be . The quantity supplied will be and the quantity demanded will be . Therefore, a price floor of $80 will result in . Instead of a price control, the government levies a tax on producers of $40. As a result, the new supply curve is: QSQS = = 3(P−40)3P−40 With this tax, the market price will be , the quantity supplied will be , and the quantity demanded will be . The passage…
A market is described by the the supply and demand curves:Qs=2P QD=300-P a.Solve for the equilibrium price and quantity.b.If the government imposes price ceiling of $90,does a shortage or surplus or neither develop?What are the price, quantity supplied,quantity demanded,and size of the shortage or surplus?c.If the government imposes price floor of $90,does a shortage or surplus or neither develop?What are the price, quantity supplied,quantity demanded,and size of the shortage or surplus?d.Instead of a price control,the government levies a tax on producers of $30.As a result, the newpply curve is:Qs(2P-30).Does a shortage or surplus or neither develop?What are the price, quantity supplied,quantity demanded,and size of the shortage or surplus?
demand equations QD = 3550 - 266P supply equations QS = 1800 + 240P Calculate initial consumer surplus and producer surplus. Now assume that government intervenes in the market through ceiling price (assume a value) and or floor price (assume a value). Find the change in welfare (DWL) loss and the new consumer surplus and producer surplus. Do you support these types of interventions?
Assess the effects of Price ceiling (Hint: Government policies and intervention) please provide detailed answer
Due to good weather, there is an increase in the demand for the good. The new demand equation is Qd = 190 – 2P. The government is trying to decide between two options: Maintain the number of quotas and let the market adjust, orMaintain the price support and increase the number of quotas. Suppose now that the government decides to increase the number of quotas available to 72 units, but it keeps the price support at the current level of $72. Calculate: i) the consumer Surplusii) the producer surplusiii) deadweight loss HINT: Sketch the supply and demand equations. Which of the two options would be preferred by the producers? Which of the two options would be preferred by society as a whole?
Assume that the market demand for barley is QD = 4400 – 480 P and the supply of barley is QS = - 200 + 360 P. A. What is the equilibrium price and quantity in the barley market? B. Calculate the consumer surplus and producer surplus in this market. C. If the government imposes a price floor of $ 7 in this market, will there be a surplus or shortage, and how large will it be?
Prepare a hypothetical linear demand and supply schedule (you can use the sameschedule as in question 2) , estimate the demand and supply equations, and the calculateinitial consumer surplus and producer surplus. Now assume that government intervenesin the market through ceiling price (assume a value) and or floor price (assume a value).Find the change in welfare (DWL) loss and the new consumer surplus and producersurplus. Do you support these types of interventions?
Consumers’ and Producers’ Surplus Find the consumers’ surplus at a price level of = $15 for the price demand equation p = D(x) = (7500 - 30x)/(300-x). Graph the price demand equation and the price level equation p = $15. What region represents the consumers’ surplus? Please explain each step in the solving process to help understand. Thank you.

Suppose demand and supply are given by Qd = 60 - P and Qs = P - 20.a. What are the equilibrium quantity and price in this market?Equilibrium quantity: Equilibrium price: $b. Determine the quantity demanded, the quantity supplied, and the magnitude of the surplus if a price floor of $50 is imposed in this market.Quantity demanded: Quantity supplied: Surplus: c. Determine the quantity demanded, the quantity supplied, and the magnitude of the shortage if a price ceiling of $32 is imposed in the market. Also, determine the full economic price paid by consumers.Quantity demanded: Quantity supplied: Shortage: Full economic price: $
C) Given the following information: QD- 240-5P QS= P Where QD is the quantity demanded, QS is the quantity supplied and P is the price. Suppose the government decided to impose tax of $12 per unit on sellers in this market. Determine quantity after tax
