. Suppose that the
market supply function is Qs = 100 + 50p.
(a) Find the
(b) Suppose that income increases to Y = 90 so that there is a new demand function.
At the equilibrium price you find in (a), do we have a shortage or surplus under
the new demand function? How large is it?
(c) A market free of interventions cannot be in equilibrium when there is a shortage or
surplus. Your answer to (b) then implies that the equilibrium price you find in (a)
can no longer be an equilibrium when Y = 90. Find the new market equilibrium
price and quantity. How did price change to “clear” the market?
(d) Suppose that, under the new demand function, the government imposes a price
ceiling at $2.5. What will be the quantity of the good transacted in the market?
(e) Suppose that, under the new demand function, the government imposes a price
floor at $2.5. What will be the quantity of the good transacted in the market?

- 1). The demand for good X is given by Qx = 4,000-Px-2Py +4Pz+ 0.2M, where Py is the price of good Y, Pz is the price of good Z, and M is income. If Py = $800, Pz= $200, and M = $5,000, what is the inverse demand function for good X? 2). Consider a market characterized by the following demand and supply functions: Px = 10-2Qx and Px2+2Qx. (a). Compute the equilibrium price and quantity in this market and show in graph. (b). What will be the impact on market when an $8 per unit floor price is imposed? How many units will be exchanged in this market? Show in the same graph. 3).
