then letting the market determine the price level and equilibrium amount is the most appropriate decision because the total surplus of consumers and producers is the most minimal
the statement above is true/false?
Based on the diagram below, if a $60 per-unit subsidy were implemented in this market, what would the effective price received by producers become? Enter your answer in whole dollars.
If there is neither a tax nor a subsidy, you are willing to pay $44 for 1 kg of coffee, a total of $77 for 2 kgs of coffee, and a total of $90 for 3 kg of coffee. If the government implements a $6.50 per-kg subsidy, payable to the producer, what is the highest per-kg price at which you purchase 3 or more kgs of coffee?

Corn is a very valuable product for which the U.S. government routinely offers subsidies. With no price support, the equilibrium price for corn is $300 per ton and the equilibrium quantity is 500 million tons per year. Suppose that the government agrees to pay farmers $350 for every ton of corn they produce and can't sell in the market. According to the farmer's market supply curve, 600 million tons per year is supplied at the price of $350 a ton, so production should increase to this amount. However, domestic users of corn cut back their purchases. Only 450 million tons a year is demanded at the price of $350 a ton, and purchases decrease to this amount. Farmers continue to produce 500 million tons of corn per year, so because they produce a greater quantity of corn than domestic buyers are willing to purchase, something must be done with the surplus. To make the price support work, the government decides to buy the surplus. Step 2 Use the scenario to…arrow_forward
