The market demand function for corn is Qd 15-2P. The market supply function is QS=5P-2.5, both measured in billions of bushels per year. The initial equilibrium price is $2.5, and the initial equilibrium quantity is 10 billion bushels. Consumer surplus is $25.00, producer surplus is $10.00, and aggregate surplus is $35.00. Suppose the government gives corn farmers a subsidy of $1.12 per bushel of corn. What will be the effects on aggregate surplus, consumer surplus, and producer surplus? What will be the deadweight loss created by the subsidy? Instructions: Round your answers to 2 decimal places. New level of consumer surplus New level of producer surplus Cost of the subsidy to government New level of aggregate surplus Deadweight loss Amount ($) billion billion billion billion billion
