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.
