How much flour would be sold? How much would consumers now pay for flour? How much would producers be paid in total for each pound of flour sold? On a separate graph, depict the equilibrium from question 1, alongside the equilibrium with the subsidy. XXXXExplain where, in relation to the market equilibrium price, a price floor is set in order to be successful. Historically, what has been the result of agricultural price supports? Why do governments legislate agricultural price supports?In the market for cotton, the quantity demanded, and quantity supplied are expressed mathematically as QD = 700 - 100P and QS = 150P - 300, where P is the price per pound of cotton and Q measures pounds of cotton. Suppose the government sets a price ceiling of $2.50 per pound of cotton. How big is the shortage resulting from the price ceiling? What is the level of consumer surplus with the price ceiling? What is the value of the deadweight loss associated with the price ceiling?
- What is consumer surplus? Explain in words and by drawing supply and demand curves. What is producer surplus? Explain in words and by drawing supply and demand curves. What is total surplus?

What are some reasons that a free market would to fail to create an efficient outcome (ie: fail to maximize total surplus)? Consider the effects of a tax on consumers on consumer and producer surplus. Does this tax increase or decrease the equilibrium price and quantity produced in the market? Does this tax increase or decrease total surplus? Consider the effects of a tax on producers on consumer and producer surplus.

C) How will the equilibrium change if the government imposes a price ceiling of $20/pound? D) Show this market with the price ceiling in a supply and demand graph. E) Consider that the consumers who bought the beef at $20/pound are the ones with the highest willingness to pay (scenario 1), what is the new consumer surplus (CSnew) and the new producer surplus (PSnew)? F) What is the deadweight loss (DWL) after the price ceiling in scenario 1? G) What would happen in this market if, instead, the consumers who bought the beef were the ones with the lowest willingness to pay (scenario 2)? (Hint: You don’t have to show it mathematically, or graphically, but write…Prepare a hypothetical linear demand and supply schedule (you can use the sameschedule as in question 2) , estimate the demand and supply equations, and the calculateinitial consumer surplus and producer surplus.

What does the differencebetween the two represent?Consider the market for ice cream cones. Suppose that supply in this market is given by P^S = Q^S and demand is given by P^D = 30 - 4Q^D. Answer the following question. Suppose that the government is considering imposing a $4.00 price control as either a price ceiling or a price floor. Would this be a binding price control as a price floor or as a price ceiling? Will this cause a shortage or a surplus? Compute the size of the shortage or surplus that would result.Seeing the huge demand for pens, the government decides to impose price controls on masks. Consider the following two scenarios for part a and for part b Suppose the government imposes a price ceiling at $1. Is it binding? Show whether there shortageor surplus in the demand-supply diagram above. How large is this surplus or shortage? Please Briefly explain your answers to the above. Now, Suppose the government imposes a price floor at $2. Is it binding? Show whether there is a surplus or a shortage in the demand-supply diagram above.
