O Macmillan Learning Price Controls and Quotas - End of Chapter Problem The Venezuelan government has imposed a price ceiling on the retail price of roasted coffee beans. The accompanying diagram shows the market for coffee beans. In the absence of price controls, the equilibrium is at point E, with an equilibrium price of P and an equilibrium quantity bought and sold of QE. Show the consumer and producer surplus before the introduction of the price ceiling. Price of Coffee Beans E Quantity of Coffee Beans Supply Demand CS PS

3. The demand and supply curves of pens in the city of Nairobi are represented by the following function:- Required: Quantity demanded Qd=20-4p Quantity supplied Qs = -10 + 6p Where p is the price per pen. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity. Examine the effect of a price ceiling set by the authorities at ii. Shs.2.00/= per pen.
