Due to Covid, the unemployment rate increases sharply. Many households are not able to afford to pay rent for their housing. The government decides to implement price controls so that households continue to afford their rent. The demand function in the perfectly competitive house-renting market is given by: P = 2000 - 2Q. The supply function is given by: P = 1500 + 3Q. Which of the following price ceilings will be binding? P = 1500 P = 1850 P = 1900 P= 1800 None of the other answers is correct.

Your uncle is very upset because after a recent snow storm he was charged $300 by a private snow- removal company to clear his driveway. He wants to petition the local village government to pass a law to put a cap on how much firms can charge for clearing driveways. As a student of economics, your uncle asks your advice on the wording of his petition. Provide a short response to your uncle in the form of a letter. Do you agree with him on the price ceiling, or disagree? How should this issue best be addressed?
The graph below shows one city's short- and long-run supply (Ssr, Sir) and demand (Dsr, Dir) curves for two-bedroom apartments. Rent controls are in place, as represented by the price ceiling, Pceil. Move each of the vertical lines into the proper position to indicate the short- and long-run quantities supplied (Qssr and Qsir) and the short-and long-run quantities demanded (Qpsr and Qpir).
In 2014, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a new farm bill establishing the Margin Protection Program (MPP) for dairy producers. Assume that the program has effectively created a price floor for milk at $0.18 per pound. Use the following additional information to answer the following questions: Without the price floor, the equilibrium price of milk is $0.15 per pound, and the equilibrium quantity is 200 billion pounds of milk. The supply curve intersects the price axis at $0.05 and the demand curve intersects the price axis at $0.25. At the price floor of $0.18, the quantity supplied is 260 billion, and the quantity demanded is 140 billion. To support the price floor, the USDA buys up the 120 billion pounds of excess milk. i. With the price floor at $0.18 per pound of milk, how much consumer surplus is created? Do not round your answer. ii. With the price floor at $0.18 per pound of milk, how much producer surplus is created? Do not round your answer. iii. With the price…

Suppose the market for a certain good is perfectly competitive and the demand is given by P=1000-Q and the supply is given by P=Q. The market is currently in equilibrium. What are the producer surplus and consumer surplus, respectively? $1250 and $1250 $2500 and $2500 $2500 and $1250 $1250 and $2500
How to solve this
Consider the market for sweet cherries in the Yakima Valley in Washington. The following are the equations of the supply and demand curves for sweet cherries in the Yakima Valley: Pd=452-Qd or Qd-452-Pd Ps=(1/450) * Qs+1 or Qs=450 * Ps-450=450 * (Ps-1) In these equations, P is the Price/lb of sweet cherries in the Yakima Valley, and Qd and Qs are the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied of cherries in milliion lbs per year. a) complete the table to find the Qd, Qs b) what are the equilibrium P and Q of cherries? c) Suppose that the P of sour cherries, a substitute of the sweet cherries, decreases. As a result the D curve for sweet cherries shifts, and the new D curve is given by the following equation: P=361.8-Qd or Qd-361.8-P Fill the Qd_d column of the table with your answers.
The competitive market for Botox procedures is characterized by the following supply and demand curves: QS = −2,000 + 10P and QD = 24,000 −16P where P is the price of the procedure and QS is the quantity supplied and QD is the quantity demanded. a: Solve for the equilibrium quantity and price in the Botox market.b: Neatly graph the market for Botox procedures, showing the vertical intercepts of the supplyand demand curves. Show the equilibrium.
The market demand function for corn is Qd = 19 - 5P The market supply function is QS = 5P - 4 both quantities measured in billions of bushels per year. Instructions: Round all quantities to the nearest whole number and prices to 2 decimal places. a. What is consumer surplus at the competitive market equilibrium? b. What is producer surplus at the competitive market equilibrium? c. What is aggregate surplus at this equilibrium?
Suppose the supply of apple pickers in Southwest Michigan can be expressed by the equation Qs=2/15(W-10) . An apple farmer advertises a wage of $100 per day to pick apples; however, when the day of the harvest arrives the farmer tells those assembled at the orchard that only 10 pickers are needed, and, as more than 10 pickers showed up looking for work, the wage will fall to the equilibrium. How many pickers showed up to work the apple harvest? What is the equilibrium wage offered by the farmer? Graph the supply of and demand for labor at the orchard, indicating the equilibrium price. Calculate the pickers’ total producer surplus, including the surplus lost by the pickers who were available to work but were not hired.
If the inverse market demand function for a good is P(Q) = 100 - 3Q and the inverse market supply function for a good is P(Q)= ) = 2Q, what are the consumer and producer surplus in the market equilibrium? The consumer surplus is $ 600. (round your answer to two decimal places.) The producer surplus is $400.00. (round your answer to two decimal places.)
THIS IS FOR MATHEMATICAL ECONOMIC CLASS Question (2): The market for disposable cell phones: Q = 2300 – 16p and Q = 1850 + 14p. Find the equilibrium price and quantity. Suppose that a new technology has emerged that will enable firms to mass produce the cell phones at a reduced cost. Which curve will be affected and what will be the general outcome? Going back to question (b), if the new equilibrium price of a disposable cell phone is $11.25, how many disposable cell phones will be demanded by consumers? Derive the new function based on your analysis.
