(a). True or False: A price ceiling above $25 per box is a binding price ceiling in this market. (Hint: Economists call a price ceiling that prevents the market from reaching equilibrium a binding price ceiling.) (b). Because it takes many years before newly planted orange trees bear fruit, the supply curve in the short run is almost vertical. In the long run, farmers can decide whether to plant oranges on their land, to plant something else, or to sell their land altogether. Therefore, the long-run supply of oranges is much more price sensitive than the short-run supply of oranges. Assuming that the long-run demand for oranges is the same as the short-run demand, you would expect a binding price ceiling to result in a _____ (options: shortage, surplus) that is _____ (options: smaller, larger) in the long run than in the short run.arrow_forwardusing the graph answer the following questions" 27. what is the size of consumer surplus when price floor of $9 is imposed 28. what is the size of producer surplus when price floor of $9 is imposed 29 what is the size of social surplus when price floor of $9 is imposedarrow_forward
