A low-income county decides to set a price ceiling on bread so it can make sure that bread is affordable to the poor. Table 3.11 provides the conditions of demand and supply. What are the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity before the price ceiling? What will the excess demand or the shortage (that is, quantity demanded minus quantity supplied) be if the price ceiling is set at 2.40? At 2.00? At 3.50?
Whether the product market or the labor market, what happens to line equilibrium price and quantity for each of the four possibilities: increase in demand, decrease in demand, increase in supply; and decrease in supply.
Draw a correctly labelled demand and supply graph for the market for toilet paper in the US with an equilibrium price of $20 per pack. During the pandemic, more people were buying toilet paper in fear that it would run out. On a the same graph, show how this affects the market for toilet paper. Explain your answer. Now impose a price ceiling at $15 per pack. What would be the impact of the price ceiling on the quantity demanded and quantity supplied? Illustrate this on the graph and explain. Will the price ceiling create a shortage or excess supply? Explain. Who would benefit from the price ceiling and who would be harmed? Explain your answer. Let the graph guide your thinking. Don’t start with your gut reaction! Let's suppose the government now impose a price floor of $15 for a pack of toilet paper. Draw the market for toilet paper with the new price floor of $15 and illustrate the impact on quantity demanded and quantity supplied Give an example of a price floor and who would…
This question analyze the market for cellular service. QD = 50 – 0.25P QS = 2P – 76 a. Suppose the government imposes a $60 price ceiling. Calculate the new quantity sold in the market. Q = a. Suppose the government instead imposes a $50 price ceiling. Calculate the new quantity sold in the market. Q = b. Briefly explain whether the $50 price ceiling creates a shortage or surplus in the market, and calculate the size of that shortage/surplus. What is The amount of the surplus or shortage is units? c. Calculate the amount of deadweight loss associated with the $50 price ceiling. DWL =
Suppose that initially, the gasoline market is in equilibrium. War in the Middle East disrupts imports of oil into the United States shifting the supply curve to S2. The price of gasoline begins to rise, and consumers protest. The government intervenes and sets a price ceiling of $3 per gallon. Use the graph below to answer questions What are the original equilibrium price and quantity? What is the equilibrium price and quantity after the Middle East war begins (S2)? If the price ceiling is imposed, what will occur? A surplus or shortage? Suppose that initially, the gasoline market is in equilibrium. War in the Middle East disrupts imports of oil into the United States shifting the supply curve to S2. The price of gasoline begins to rise, and consumers protest. The government intervenes and sets a price ceiling of $3 per gallon. Use the graph below to answer questions 2a – 2d. How are suppliers affected?

Suppose the demand and the supply for lumber (harvested wood processed in a sawmill) used for construction in Australia are given byQD =100 – 2PQS = 1/2PAssume also that the market is perfectly competitive.Suppose the lumber market described was closed to the rest of the world. Now it opens to trade and the world price of lumber is 20. Compute the equilibrium price, quantity supplied by domestic producers, and quantity demanded by domestic consumers.2.Use a demand and supply graph to show how consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus change with international trade.3. Now suppose that Country A is a major exporter of lumber to Australia and in an effort to impose sanctions on Country A, Australia imposes a tariff of t=10 on all lumber imported into Australia. Use a graph of supply and demand to show how the tariff changes consumer, producer and total surplus.4. Calculate the equilibrium price, quantity produced and demanded domestically, tariff revenue, and deadweight loss.
