As you can see from the article in the prior problem, "Rents Hit All-Time Highs amid Job Growth and Low Vacancy Rates," some people move out as a result of rent increases, while others are ready to pay an even higher rent. Rent control adds yet another aspect by setting a ceiling on what the rental price can ultimately rise to. The supply and demand model can be used to illustrate the mechanism that leads to all these different market outcomes. Consider the market for rental properties in Los Angeles and Orange counties in Southern California. Suppose that while average earnings increased by about 10% in Los Angeles and Orange counties, the average rent has increased by 20%. (Assume for a moment that there are no rent control regulations.) Adjust the following graph to illustrate the rent increase by either using the black point (cross symbol) or by shifting the supply and demand curves.

"New York City has a long-standing policy of control-ling rents in certain parts of the city—in essence, a price ceiling on rent. Is the market for apartments likely to be efficient or inefficient? What does this imply for the size of total surplus?"

To halt the continued rise in the price of gasoline, the government implements a price ceiling, where the price of gas is not allowed to rise above $3 a gallon. If the price ceiling was not in place, the price of gas would equal $3.75 a gallon. The price ceiling has what effect on the sum of producer and consumer surplus in the market:
Joy is thinking to buy a new chair for his office. The market price of the chair is $44 and Joy's maximum willingness to pay for that chair is $55 What would be the Consumer surplus involved in this transaction
Anderson is willing to pay $12. Kendrick can provide the item for $10, but producing the item imposes a cost of $8 on Talib. If Anderson purchases the item from Kendrick for $11, what is the total surplus from the transaction? (Remember, do not enter the $, and enter the - if TS is negative.)
Neha buys an iPhone for $240 and gets a consumer surplus of $160. Her willingness to pay for an iPhone is . If she had bought the iPhone on sale for $180, her consumer surplus would have been . If the price of the iPhone had been $500, her consumer surplus would have been
ed Graphically, producer surplus is measured as the area Multiple Choice under the demand curve and below the actual price. under the demand curve and above the actual price. above the supply curve and above the actual price. above the supply curve and below the actual price.
The standard measure of consumer surplus is a fair measure of the value of a good to consumers because it gives an equal weight to each individual consumer.” Is this statement true, false, or uncertain?
Consider a person who consumes water and bread, deriving utility by xy if x is the amount of water consumed and y is the amount of bread consumed. Suppose this person's income is Rs. 10, the unit price of bread is Rs. 3 and the unit price of water facing this person is Re. 1. The price of water incorporates a per unit subsidy of Re. 1, i.e., for every unit of water consumed by this person, she pays Re. 1 to the water supplier and the government pays Re. 1 to the water supplier. Suppose this person's demand is (x0, y0). ,If the government provides this person a lump-sum income subsidy that exactly offsets her utility loss on account of removal of the water subsidy, then the required lump-sum subsidy is
Next, consider an example of DWL in the labour market. Suppose the demand for labour is given by the fixed gross wage W = $16. The supply is given by W = 0.8L. (a) Illustrate the market geometrically. (b) Calculate the equilibrium amount of labour supplied, and the supplier surplus. (c) Suppose a wage tax that reduces the wage to W = $12 is imposed. By how much is the supplier’s surplus reduced at the new equilibrium?
Consider a market where demand and supply satisfy the following equationsQd = 12 – 2 P,QS = 2P.a)Find the current equilibrium price and quantity. b)What is the total producer surplus if the market is in equilibrium? The government is considering a minimum price policy to increase producer surplus.c)Explain by means of graphs how the introduction of a price floor can increase producer surplus. d)Find the (optimal) price floor that maximizes producer surplus. hi, can you answer part c and part d for this question please, thanks
