Task 8 Government intervention in competitive markets
For Paradise Island, the demand and supply functions in the market for bread have been estimated
as
Demand : Q(P) = 600 10P,
Supply: Q(P)
= 40P.
Since in the current perfectly competitive market equilibrium the price of a single unit of bread
is rather high, the government plans to prevent excessively high prices of bread by imposing
a price ceiling. After a lengthy discussion about which price ceilings affect the market price
and which do not, the government implements a law prohibiting the sale of a unit of bread at
a price above P = $6. The government is extremely proud of its courageous regulation policy
and decides to ask a research agency to quantify the chánge of the economic surplus. At the
same time the government wonders why it receives plenty of complaints of consumers that are
ready to buy bread at $6 but find themselves unable to do so. As a response to the result of the
ordered research report and continuing consumer complaints, the government abolishes the
price ceiling.
