A government of a country X would like to administer two programs that affect the market for cigarettes. Media campaigns and labeling requirements are aimed at making the public aware of the dangers of cigarette smoking. At the same time, the Department of Agriculture maintains a price support program for tobacco farmers, which raises the price of tobacco above the equilibrium price.

7. There is a road named High Street with 800m long. There are two grocery shops: Woolworths located at the left end and Coles located at the right end. 4800 customers are uniformly distributed along High Street. To make our life easier, assume both grocery stores sell the same product, and consumers demand just one unit of the product. Traveling to a grocery shop is costly, and the cost of traveling is 4 cents per meter. Suppose the price of the product is $10 at Woolworths, and $12 at Coles. Then customers will purchase the product from Woolworths.
