- Consider the attached graph showing the supply and demand for rental apartments around the UH. campus. If the government were to subsidize housing by $1000 per unit per month, then the quantity of rental apartments would____ (increase or decrease) by____ thousand units. The rental price received by landlords inclusive of the subsidy would ____(increase or decrease) by_____ dollars per month while the price paid by tenants, net of the subsidy, would____ (increase or decrease) by____ dollars per montharrow_forwardSome government agricultural policies involve price controls. Other agriculturalpolicies, however, involve quantity controls. The equilibrium price of wheat is $5 and the equilibrium quantity is 100 bushels, as shown in the diagram on the right. Suppose the government institutes a policy that prohibits wheat farmers from growing more than 60 bushels of wheat in total. How would this policy change the supply curve for wheat? Use your supply and demand diagram to show that the government policy would raise the equilibrium price and lower the equilibrium quantity of wheat. Show that the policy will lead to a deadweight loss in the wheat market. 1.) Using the multipoint curve drawing tool, graph the supply curve for wheat with the quota. Label your curve 'Upper S2.' (Note: draw the entire supply curve) 2.) Using the point drawing tool, indicate the market price and quantity with the quota. Label your point 'e 2. 3.) Using the triangle drawing tool, shade in the…arrow_forwarda. Tattoo artists are required to be licensed. Use a graph to show how a licensing requirement impacts the market for tattoo artists. Show the market equilibrium if there are no license requirements and also show the market equilibrium with license requirements. What happens to consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss when licenses are required? b. Explain who wins and who loses from licensing regulation? Who pays for the licensing? Explain briefly. c. Use a graph of the tattoo market to show this positive effect. Show the market equilibrium on your graph and explain how this market equilibrium compares to the market equilibrium in which this benefit is not taken into account. e. Does licensing perform a better job of solving the asymmetric information problem than yelp or google reviews? i.e. does licensing provide a better signal of quality compared to other signals of quality such as online reviews? Explain why or why not.arrow_forward
- Using the following diagram (the equilibrium quantity is 5.5, the supply curve intersects the price axis at 3.5), answer these questions: a) If a tax of $2 were imposed, what price would buyers pay, and what price would suppliers receive? How much revenue would be raised by the tax? Compute the total consumer surplus, producer surplus, and welfare after the introduction of the tax. b) If a subsidy of $5 were imposed, what price would buyers pay, and what price would suppliers receive? How much would the subsidy cost the government? What would be the consumer surplus and the producer surplus? c) If the government imposed a binding price floor of $7 and compensated the producers by buying the excess surplus at the stated price: What would be the consumer surplus, the producer surplus, the government expenditures, and total welfare?arrow_forwardThe following graph shows the market for milk. The market price of milk without government intervention is____________per gallon. Consider the legislation that doesn't allow the price of milk to be below $8 per gallon and stimulates that the government by any surplus milk produced at that price. In order to raise the price of $8 per gallon, the government would need to buy______million gallons of milk, which would cost the government__________million. Suppose there are only a few dairy Farmers who would benefit from this legislation and millions of consumers who would suffer through higher prices. In this case, legislation imposing price supports at $8 per gallon would mean which of the following? The legislation will probably pass because it's benefits are concentrated while it's cost or widespread. The legislation should pass because it's economical efficient, but it probably won't because consumers don't understand enough about economics. The legislation may or may not pass since…arrow_forwardWhat is producer surplus? How is it illustrated on a demand and supply diagram? Give an example of producer surplus.arrow_forward
