Explain.Suppose that, in a competitive market without government regulations, the equilibrium price of donuts is $1.50 each. Complete the following table by indicating whether each of the statements is an example of a price ceiling or a price floor and whether it is binding or nonbinding. Statement Price Control Binding or Not The government prohibits donut shops from selling donuts for more than $2.00 each. The government has instituted a legal minimum price of $2.00 each for donuts. Due to new regulations, donut shops that would like to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are prohibited from doing so.
- A market is described by the following supply and demand curves: QS = 3P QD = 400−P The equilibrium price is $ and the equilibrium quantity is . Suppose the government imposes a price ceiling of $120. This price ceiling is , and the market price will be $ . The quantity supplied will be , and the quantity demanded will be . Therefore, a price ceiling of $120 will result in . Suppose the government imposes a price floor of $120. This price floor is , and the market price will be $ . The quantity supplied will be and the quantity demanded will be . Therefore, a price floor of $120 will result in . Instead of a price control, the government levies a tax on producers of $40. As a result, the new supply curve is:Consider the market for hamburgers.
