2. The market demand and supply for Ithaca farmland is given by the following functions: Qd = 10,000 - 10P, and Qs = 6P, where: Qd is quantity demanded and Qs is quantity supplied, and P is the rental price of land per month. The Mayor and the County Executive are proposing separate rent control measures. The Mayor wants to prohibit land owners from charging farmers more than $550 per month to rent farmland.

One of the members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has studied your analysis of Chinese privatization but is worried that the free-market price might be too low to enable producers to earn a fair rate of return on their investment.
