The demand and the supply of timber for construction in Australia are given byQD =100 – 20PQS = 5P Suppose there is a strike of loggers, which changes the supply toQS = 4P. Calculate the new equilibrium quantity and use a demand and supply graph to explain howthe strike affects the equilibrium price and quantity. After the strike in 2.6, suppose the government subsidizes the buyers s dollars for every unit theypurchase. Write the price paid by consumers in the equilibrium as a function of s. Would the governmentbe able to use the subsidy to achieve the surplus before the strike,. If no,explain why. If yes, what should be the value of s?
