Concerned about the political fallout from rising gas prices, suppose that the U.S. government imposes a price ceiling of $3.00 a gallon on gasoline. Explain how the market for gasoline would react to this price ceiling if a global shortage of oil sent the equilibrium price of gasoline to $3.50 a gallon. Would the U.S. gasoline market be efficient?
Current Stats for Gasoline: Government Enforced Price Ceiling - $4.50/gallon Current Market Equilibrium - $3.00/gallon OPEC, the largest global supplier of oil used to make gasoline, has decided to reduce output by 50%. This policy change is expected to drive up the cost of gasoline to $5.00/gallon. How does that price change interact with the price ceiling? A. Changes the Price Ceiling from Binding to Non-Binding B. Disrupts Oil Supply C. Changes the Price Ceiling from Non-Binding to Binding D. No Change
Assume that the government sets a price floor in the market for wheat and the price floor is set below themarket equilibrium of wheat. Discuss carefully THREE points showing effectiveness of this policy on the market.
Let the following be the supply and demand for coconuts. P 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Qs 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 1100 QD 550 500 450 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 Now imagine that there is a price ceiling on coconuts at $3 but in order to prevent wasting peoples' time by making them wait in line, the government hands out ration coupons to people. In order to buy a coconut you need a coupon. Assume that the number of coupons is the appropriate number to clear the market with the price ceiling (you should know what that is). Now notice that the government probably doesn't know who has the highest marginal value for coconuts so, while this will eliminate the waste from the line it will most likely not…
Consider a market equilibrium is a price = $2 and quantity = 100 units in the market for hand sanitizer. Based on this information, answer the next three questions. What could the price in this market be if the government implemented an effective price ceiling? Will there be any excess supply or demand? Provide at least one more example of how consumers or producers will respond to the price control (think unintended consequences).
In Figure 1, suppose the marginal value for gasoline falls by $6 for every quantity demanded for all gas stations in the market. After the changes, assume that the government enacts a price ceiling of $2. What will happen in the market? A) Quantity supplied will equal quantity demanded.B) There will be a surplus of 1 gallon.C) There will be a shortage of 3 gallons.D) There will be a surplus of 2 gallons.E) There will be a shortage of 4 gallons.
In the market for Widgets, the equilibrium price is $ 20 and the equilibrium quantity is 5000 Widgets, which of the following statements is FALSE? A. None of the above B. If the government sets a price ceiling at $ 15 companies will increase the quantity supplied C. If the government sets the price floor for widgets at $ 25 there will be a surplus of widgets in the market D. If the price ceiling is set at $ 15 there will be a shortage of Widgets in the market
