- Define Consumer and Producer Surplus and illustrate them graphically.arrow_forward"New York City has a long-standing policy of control-ling rents in certain parts of the city—in essence, a price ceiling on rent. Is the market for apartments likely to be efficient or inefficient? What does this imply for the size of total surplus?"arrow_forwardIf the demand of the condominiums demand is inelastic, that is, it is a normal good, and when the price of the condominiums will decrease, then the demand of the people for the product will increase because the consumer surplus will exist when the money spent by the people will be more as compared to the price which is to be charged for the product. As the price will decrease, the people will prefer to buy more because it is already a normal good and demand for more. Pertaining to the supply of Condominiums in response to the demand of Nagenyos, enumerate at least two (2) possible effects of the determinants of demand (a) price, (b) income, (c) prices of related goods like apartments and residential houses, and (d) consumer taste and expectation, and the determinants of supply (a) flexibility of inputs, (b) mobility of inputs, (c) ability to produce substitute and (d) time.arrow_forward
