Suppose Home is a small exporter of wheat. At the world price of 100 US dollars per tonne, Home growers export 20 tons of wheat.

Explain why consumer and producer surplus can be used to gauge the change in welfare caused by the export subsidy on individuals and firms.
Which of the following statement is false? A price ceiling that is set above the equilibrium price does not affect total surplus. A binding price floor always creates deadweight loss and always reduces both producer and consumer surplus. A price floor that is set above the equilibrium price creates a surplus. A binding price ceiling always decreases producer surplus but might increase or decrease consumer surplus. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer.

Answer questions as either True or False. If the answer is false, explain why it is false. Question 6 Consumer surplus is the area above the demand curve but below price. Question 7 The producer surplus for a particular unit is equal to the vertical distance between price and the supply curve. Question 8 Social efficiency is an allocation of resources in which consumer and producer surplus are equal. Question 9 A deadweight loss results when resources are allocated in an unequal manner.

Market demand for Mandrake roots is given by Q=325-4P and market supply is given by Q=5P. The government imposes a price ceiling of $10. What is the minimum Deadweight Loss, in absolute terms, because of the price ceiling? Assume competitive markets.
If equilibrium is achieved in a competitive market where there is no government and tax the deadweight loss will equal the sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus. there is no deadweight loss. the deadweight loss will be the same as the opportunity cost the deadweight loss will be maximized.
