Assume a $20 price floor is imposed in this market. Find the quantity demanded. Find the quantity supplied. Will this be a surplus or shortage? How big will the surplus or shortage be? How many units will be sold in the market? Will this price floor increase, decrease, or have no effect on consumer surplus? Will this price floor increase, decrease, or have no effect on total surplus? Will this price floor increase, decrease, or have no effect on deadweight loss?arrow_forwardUsing 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_forward
