1. a) Copy Figure 4.10 (below) into your notebook
and fill in the Surplus/Shortage column. What
is the equilibrium price?
2. Economists are not generally supportive of
governments interfering in markets in order to
set prices. Using the example in question 1,
explain what undesirable results might occur
if the school simply declared a price for
cafeteria foods.
b) Draw a demand and supply graph for this
information. Shade in the area that represents
a surplus in this market and the area that
represents a shortage when market prices of
$1.80 and $1.00 are considered.
