    In a competitive market, the following supply and demand equations are given: Supply P = 5 + 0.36Q Demand P = 100 - 0.04Q, where P represents price per unit in dollars, and Q represents rate of sales in units per Year. 1.

    Consider that the market for soybeans is defined by the following demand and supply equations: QD = 200 - 10P and QS = 20P - 100, where P is the price in dollars and Q measures the quantity in tons per quarter. The market is currently in equilibrium.   Now consider that after much lobbying by the United Farmers Association, the government imposes a price control of $12.50 in this market, with no additional government support.   1.Given the current market environment, what is the total surplus in the market?   2.Describe the current market outcome.   As the result of the government’s policy, the current market outcome is __________(efficient ? not efficient?). The quantity traded is __________(less than ? greater than ?) the quantity traded before the government intervention, and price sellers ( farmers) receive per ton is __________(equal to 10? equal to 12.50? less than 10? less than 12.50 and greater than 10?). Additionally, as a result of the government’s policy sellers seem to be…
    The following equations represent the inverse supply and demand functions in the market for Good B: PC = 180 - 2QD PP = 40 + 2QS where PC and PP are the prices paid by consumers and received by producers respectively. QD and QS are the quantities demanded and supplied, respectively. Suppose the government imposes a tax of $8 per unit of Good B. What is the incidence of this tax on consumers and producers?
