With a binding price ceiling, buyers will be better off and producers will be worse off. True or False?
The graph below shows the supply and demand curves for mohair, a wool obtained from angora goats. Government price supports were instituted during world war 2, when a steady supply of wool was needed for soldiers’ uniforms. The price supports are still in effect even though market conditions have changed. Using the straight line tool, draw the lowest possible binding price floor you can, as a single horizontal line all the way across the graph from one edge to the other.
On the Virus island the inverse demand function for masks is given by the formula P=360-Q, where P - price, Q - quantity. The inverse supply function of masks takes the form P=Q. The government of this island decides to support the production of masks by introducing a subsidy per unit equal to 40. What will be the producers’ surplus under these new conditions? a. 15 000 b. 18 000 c. 24 400 d. 20 000
D 20,000 is the correct answer please show the steps

Assume that firms in both countries face the same average costs curve (AC), given by: AC = m + r/(s+q) where m=3, r=20, s=2 and Q indicates quantity. The demand curves are given by, respectively: Q= b - P for Home and, Q = b* - P for Foreign, where b=20 and b*=40 . Q indicates quantity and P indicates price. Answer the following questions: Plot the AC curve and the demand curve for both Home and Foreign in the same graph (put quantity in the x-axis and price and cost in the y-axis. (Please do not use python to plot the graph and would appreciate a picture of the graph). Assume that both countries are closed to international trade.

Use the grey points (star symbols) to shade the area representing the deadweight loss resulting from the price ceiling. The following graph shows a demand curve (in blue) and a supply curve (in orange). Suppose a price ceiling of $12 per unit is imposed. Use the green points (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing producers’ surplus after the price ceiling. Then use the purple points (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing consumers’ surplus after the price ceiling. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

This is because: Of the negative externalities that prevent the government from legalizing the buying and selling of organs. Because demand is greater than supply, reflecting the fact that people should be more willing to donate their organs. Because the rationing role of prices is not legally allowed to work in this instance. Because organ prices are so high, most poorer people cannot afford one. A and D only.arrow_forward
