2. Consider a competitive market characterized by the following marketdemand and supply curves.Qd=10000-10P Qs=40P-2000If the government enacts a binding price floor at 500, calculate the resultingconsumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss.Hint: a diagram might help. Show your work.
The market for pizza is characterized by adownward-sloping demand curve and an upwardsloping supply curve.a. Draw the competitive market equilibrium.Label the price, quantity, consumer surplus, andproducer surplus. Is there any deadweight loss?Explain.b. Suppose that the government forces eachpizzeria to pay a $1 tax on each pizza sold.Illustrate the effect of this tax on the pizzamarket, being sure to label the consumer surplus,producer surplus, government revenue, anddeadweight loss. How does each area compare tothe pre-tax case?c. If the tax were removed, pizza eaters and sellerswould be better off, but the government wouldlose tax revenue. Suppose that consumers andproducers voluntarily transferred some of theirgains to the government. Could all parties(including the government) be better off than theywere with a tax? Explain using the labeled areas inyour graph
16. The demand and supply of movie tickets are given by Q D = 10 – 2P and Q S = 2P – 6, where P is the price per ticket and Q is in thousands of tickets. a. Solve for equilibrium price and quantity. b. Calculate the consumer and producer surpluses and show them with a demand and supply graph. c. If now the government regulates the movie industry with a price floor of $4.99, to avoid “malicious competition,” show the consequences of such a regulation.

Suppose the government wants to regulate Vought International by setting a price ceiling, but Vought International has a strong lobbying arm and so they negotiate a price ceiling ̄p= 2MC (the price ceiling is double the marginal cost). What is this price ceiling and the corresponding deadweight loss?
Price(per bottle) Quantity supplied Normal timesquantity demanded Hurricanequantity demanded $6 100 25 75 $5 85 35 85 $4 70 45 95 $3 55 55 105 $2 40 65 115 $1 25 75 125 Concerned with citizen complaints of price gouging during past hurricanes, Florida's state government passes a law setting a price ceiling for a bottle of water equal to the market equilibrium price during normal times. After all, it seems unfair that sellers of water gain because of a hurricane. During a hurricane, there would be a shortage of bottles of water. Without the antiprice gouging law, consumers would have to pay $ more than the ceiling price, but they would be able to buy more bottles of water.
A market has a total demand for 100 units of the product produced. Firms L and F operate in the market and compete in prices. Consumers buy from the cheapest firm and split equally between the firms if the firms’ prices are the same. The firms have the same marginal cost c. Firm L sets its price first and firm F sets its price only after that. Suppose that the smallest amount by which prices can be changed is ε. (a) Suppose that firm L sets the monopoly price pL = pM. What price does firm F set in response and what profits do the two firms earn? Comment on the outcome of this sequential price competition game as compared to the sequential quantity competition game in the slides. (b) Suppose instead that Firm L sets the price pL = c. What price does firm F set in equilibrium and what profits do the two firms earn?
