You are given the demand and supply function of diesel as follows Q = 5.6000000000000005PC -3Pp and Q = 16 + 6PD + 0.2Pc; where Pp and Pc are the prices of diesel(D) and compressed natural gas(C), respectively. If the price of CNG is $8, what is the market price of diesel? Please give your answer in 2 decimal places. (b) Now, suppose government decides to regulate the price of diesel and they fix the price at $6.5, ceteris paribus, will there be a surplus or shortage? Calculate the amount of surplus/shortage. Please give your answer in 2 decimal places. (c) Suppose that the market for diesel is not regulated anymore.

At present, 80,000 cars per week use that highway stretch; after the toll is imposed, it is projected that only 75,000 cars per week will use the highway stretch. Assuming that the marginal cost of highway use is constant (i.e., the supply schedule is horizontal) and equal to $.20 per car, what is the change in social surplus attributable to the increase in the toll? (Hint: The toll increase will cause the supply schedule, not the demand schedule, to shift.) Calculate government revenues from the increased toll.
