- There are 100 sellers in the market for widgets: 40 people are willing to sell a widget at £10or more; 20 additional people are willing to sell a widget at £20 or more; 30 additional peopleare willing to sell a widget at £30 or more; and 10 additional people are willing to sell awidget at £50 or more. (a) For a range of prices from £0 to £70, draw the supply curve in a suitablylabelled graph. (b) The government will buy any amount of widgets for £40 or less. Draw thedemand curve. How many widgets are sold in equilibrium?Suppose the government of the island has decided to make tomatoes more affordable to consumers by imposing a fixed per unit subsidy. Thus, start with the original demand (Qd = 50 – 5P) and supply (Qs = 5P – 25) and analyze this new intervention, the subsidy. The subsidy works like this: tomato sellers receive a $4 refund from the government for each kilogram of tomatoes they sell to consumers. • Write down the equation for the new "effective supply" curve. • Determine the new equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price. • What is the price that the consumers will pay for their tomatoes? • What is the price that the producers will effectively earn for their tomatoes, inclusive of the subsidy? • How much will the government spend on tomato subsidies in this case in total? (Recall the units of measurement: P is the price in dollars per kilogram of tomatoes; and Q is the quantity of tomatoes, expressed in thousands of kilograms.) • Produce a new graph depicting the new, post-subsidy…Suppose the government of the island has decided to make tomatoes more affordable to consumers by imposing a fixed per unit subsidy.

Suppose they decided to impose the tax on consumers. In the following graph, shows the effect of a $0.50 tax on each gallon of gasoline sold imposed on consumers by shifting the demand or supply curve. DemandSupply01234563.02.52.01.51.00.50Price of Gasoline (Dollars per gallon)Quantity of Gasoline (Thousands of gallons)Demand Supply True or False: The effect of the tax will be the same regardless of whom the tax is imposed on.

True False Workers in the oil industry are by this tax.There are 40 people living in a village each having preference over apples andshirts represented by U(a,b) = a1/3s2/3, where a and s are amount of applesin pounds and shirts consumed, respectively. The price of a shirt is $10. Each villager has $300 income. Apples are supplied to the village by a farmer, whose supply function is S(pa) = 1000pa.Part a1What is the equilibrium price of apples? How many pounds of apples does eachvillager consume?Part a2What is the aggregate net consumer surplus at the equilibrium?Part a3What is the price elasticity of demand at the equilibrium?Part b1Suppose 50 more people move in to the village.

If a consumer is worse off, byhow much additional income he/she needs to be compensated in order to be aswell off as in Part a.
- The demand for ice cream is given by QD = 200 – 20P and the supply of ice cream is given by QS = - 100 + 40P. The quantity is measure in gallons of ice cream. - Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus at the market equilibrium. Now assume that the government decides to set the price of ice cream at $ 7.00 per gallon. Would this create a surplus or a shortage in the ice cream market? Calculate the surplus (or shortage). Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus at the new $ 7.00 price. What happened to each after the intervention of the government in the ice cream market? Calculate the deadweight loss after the imposition of the $ 7.00 price. Compare this to the deadweight loss associated with the market equilibrium. In your own words, explain why this deadweight loss is a measure of the inefficiency in the market created by the government intervention.Market researchers have studied the market for milk and their estimates for the supply of and the demand for milk per month are as follows a.
