- When a market is competitive and functioning properly, economic theory predicts that the market equilibrium will be efficient. However, this may not always be the desired outcome. Market outcomes may be unequal or distorted by market failure. Offer an example of a market where you consider the real-world outcome to be unacceptable. Why is the market outcome unacceptable? How can government policy improve on the market equilibrium? Will this solution create a surplus or shortage in the market according to economic theory? Explain. What effect will this solution have on consumer surplus, producer surplus, social surplus, and deadweight loss? Explain.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT a way that the government can intervene in markets? a)The government can set minimum wages. b)The government can raise taxes on a particular item. c)The government can pass laws on sales taxes. d)The government can stop the forces of demand and supply from working in markets.arrow_forwardCritique the following statement as True or False and explain your reasoning in 2-3 sentences.

- Although there are many reasons why a market can be noncompetitive, the principal economic difference between a competitive and a noncompetitive market is A. the annual sales made by the largest firms in the market. OB. the presence of government intervention. C. the number of firms in the market. D. the extent to which any firm can influence the price of the product. E the size of the firms in the market.arrow_forwardWhen Adam Smith talked about “the invisible hand” he argued that: High transaction costs normally prevent markets from achieving equilibrium. Prices, in the long run, end up where both fairness and efficiency are achieved. Changing prices leads to an “end” which buyers and sellers are not totally pleased with, but one that is efficient. Create mutually agreed upon prices over time if the market is subsidized. As prices increase, demand falls, but supply rises, creating an equilibrium outcome. Self-interested activities help eliminate shortages and surpluses if price ceilings and price floors are effectively utilized.arrow_forwardAnalyze the role of the government when determining prices in marketsarrow_forward
