Question

Transcribed Image Text:Question 3: Suppose the demand for new and old apartments (together) is given by
QD(P)=200- 0.1P. The supply curve for old apartments is Qs (P)=30+0.03P. The supply
curve for newly built apartments is QsN(P)=20+0.02P.
(a) Determine the equilibrium price P, and how many apartments are built.
(b) Now suppose that the city government decides to control rents. That is, no landlord
is allowed to ask for a rent that exceeds 600 Dollars. How many new apartments are
being built now? Suppose that everyone who cannot find an apartment leaves the city.
How many people will leave?
(c) Now suppose that instead of rent control, the government chooses to subsidize the
building of new apartments. That is, the government pays 400 Dollars to landlords of
any newly built apartments. Thus, the supply of new apartment is now given by
20+0.02(P+400). Determine the new equilibrium price P. Determine how many new
apartments are built now and compute the total subsidy paid by the city government

- Suppose the demand function for a product is given by the function: D(q) = -0.018q+50.4 Find the Consumer's Surplus corresponding to q = 1,550 units.
