Suppose that the demand curve for wheat is Q-140-200 and the supply curve i Q³=20p. The government imposes a price support at p-$4.00. What is the deadweight loss if the government supports the price by purchasing excess supply? (Assume the wheat will be destroyed) The deadweight loss is 5 (Round your answer to the nearest penny and enter the deadweight loss as a positive number) Suppose the government is considering supporting the price using a deficiency payment program. What would be the amount of the deficiency payment? The deficiency payment would be $ and there would be a deadweight loss of $ (Round your answer to the nearest penny and enter the deadweight loss as a positive number)

Continue your analysis of the video poker market in Cedar Rapids: demand by patrons for the games (in thousands per week) is Qd = 180 - 4P and the supply is Qs = 2P - 30 where P is the price in cents charged to play a game. Now suppose that the city of Cedar Rapids passes a new law which requires that all video poker arcades contribute m cents to a city charitable fund for each game played on their machines. This is, essentially, an excise tax. In a new diagram, show the effect of the new law on the market and explain this effect. (Do not try to give an algebraic solution; just show what happens graphically and provide a description. Please be sure to illustrate how the tax of m cents shifts a specific curve, consistent with the approach we’ve taken in this course in modeling taxes and subsidies. Clearly indicate the distance by which the curve has shifted. Recall that the direction of the shift carries a specific meaning in economics for depicting taxation/subsidies.) Graphically…

Find the consumers' surplus and the producers' surplus at the equilibrium price level for the given price-demand and price-supply equations. Include a graph that identifies the consumers' surplus and the producers' surplus p=D(x)=60-0001x; p= S(x)=30+0.0001x² The consumers' surplus is approximately $ (Round to the nearest dollar as needed.) The producers' surplus is approximately $ (Round to the nearest dollar as needed.) The graph of D(x)=60-0.001x is shown as a solid curve and the graph of S(x)=30+0.0001x² is shown as a dotted curve.

Consider the market for pork illustrated in the graph. Suppose initial demand (D') is Q = 290 – 20p and supply (S') is Q = 80 + 40p and that a $3.00 tax is charged to consumers, shifting the demand curve to D. Using the original and after-tax pork demand functions and the supply function, derive the initial equilibrium price and quantity and the after-tax equilibrium price and quantity. %24 (Enter all responses using real numbers rounded to two decimal places) The equilibrium price is initially $ per kg.

The following equations represent the annual quantity demanded (Qd) and quantity supplied (Qs) for tickets for Danubiana Museum of Modern Art in Bratislava, Slovakia. Qd = 50,000-1,000P Qs = 10,000+3,000P, where P is the price of a ticket in euros. a) Suppose that there is a price floor of 7 euros per museum ticket in Slovakia. Will there be a surplus or a shortage in the market for tickets for Danubiana Museum of Modern Art? If yes, how large will it be? b) Suppose that there is a price ceiling of 7 euros per museum ticket in Slovakia. Will there be a surplus or a shortage in the market for tickets for Danubiana Museum of Modern Art?

Richard and Henry like soda drinks. Henry's demand for soda is: P=10-Q; the demand for Richard is P=5.5-0.5Q. The supply of soda cans is perfectly elastic at P=1. The government imposes a tax on soda cans equal to t=$1 per can. a) Which consumer will suffer the greater loss of consumer surplus in response of the tax? why?b) Would the government prefer all consumers to be like Henry or like Richard if the government wants to maximise tax revenue? Why? Accompany your answer with a diagram to illustrate your argument.
Consider the data in the table below when you answer this question. (As the table suggests, the demand curve for this continuous good is a straight line and so is the supply curve.

Suppose that the demand and supply curves for green peas are given by QD = 10 – 8P and QS = 2P, where P is the price per pound and Q is measured in thousands of pounds. If the price per pound of peas is $0.50, the market _____, so the price will _____. has excess demand of 3,000 pounds; rise has excess supply of 1,000 pounds; fall is in equilibrium; remain unchanged has excess demand of 5,000 pounds; rise
Corn is a very valuable product for which the U.S. government routinely offers subsidies. With no price support, the equilibrium price for corn is $300 per ton and the equilibrium quantity is 500 million tons per year. Suppose that the government agrees to pay farmers $350 for every ton of corn they produce and can't sell in the market. According to the farmer's market supply curve, 600 million tons per year is supplied at the price of $350 a ton, so production should increase to this amount. However, domestic users of corn cut back their purchases. Only 450 million tons a year is demanded at the price of $350 a ton, and purchases decrease to this amount. Farmers continue to produce 500 million tons of corn per year, so because they produce a greater quantity of corn than domestic buyers are willing to purchase, something must be done with the surplus. To make the price support work, the government decides to buy the surplus. a. In this example, how many million tons does the…
