- Assume that a price floor of $320 has been implemented and there are no wasteful quality improvements. What are the total gains from trade (total surplus) with a price floor of $320? Hint: enter your answer as a number only with no $ sign Example: if the answer is $10,000, enter 10,000 2,400arrow_forwardSuppose the graph shows the market for wheat. The equilibrium price is $25.

In the competitive market for white sugar, consumer demand is given by P=100-0.050 and suppliers' behaviour is represented by the supply curve of P=1+0.005Q, where P is measured in dollars and Q is measured in kilos per month. Questions 17 through 19 refer to this market. 18. Imagine now that the government imposes a price ceiling of $5.00 per kilo on sugar, and that the ceiling is obeyed by all market participants. In the resulting equilibrium the total number of kilos of sugar exchanged in the market is equal to: A) 2100 G) 800 B) 2000 H) 600 A) $5 G) $70 C) 1900 I) 400 B) $10 H) $80 19.

- Suppose Home is a small exporter of wheat. At the world price of 100 US dollars per tonne, Home growers export 20 tons of wheat. Now suppose the Home government decides to support its domestic producers with an specific export subsidy of 40 US dollars per tonne. Use Figure 1 to answer the following questions: Figure 1: Supply and Demand for Wheat at Home Home price 140 100 X 10 20 40 50 Supply Demand Quantity (a) Explain why consumer and producer surplus can be used to gauge the change in welfare caused by the export subsidy on individuals and firms.arrow_forwardSubsidies lead to overproduction and overconsumption relative to the competitive equilibrium. What is the deadweight loss associated with this? Why is there a deadweight loss? Depict this in your original figure (see attached), or draw a new figure.arrow_forwardConsumer surplus is equal to the difference between the maximum price a buyer is willing to pay and the market price. the minimum price a seller is wiling to accept and the market price the minimum price a buyer is willing to pay and the market price the maximum price a seller is willing to accept and the market price Consumer surplus is shown graphically as the area under the demand curve and above the market price. above the supply curve and below the market price. above the supply curve and above the market price under the demand curve and below the market price.arrow_forward
