Imagine a city implements a price ceiling on apartment rentals to make housing more affordable. The equilibrium monthly rent without government intervention is $1,200, with 1,200 units of demand and supply. The government sets a price ceiling at $800. Calculate the new quantity demanded and quantity supplied (assume demand increases to 1,500 units, while supply decreases to 1,000 units). Calculate the shortage created by the price ceiling. Illustrate the changes on a supply and demand graph, marking the equilibrium price, price ceiling, quantities demanded and supplied, and identify the area representing deadweight loss. Provide detailed calculations for each part of the assignment. Include properly labeled graphs for each scenario. Conclude each section with a brief explanation of the economic implications, identifying which groups benefit and which are harmed by the government's intervention

Draw a diagram showing the market for generators with an equilibrium price at $250. Now impose a price ceiling at $200 per generator. What would be the impact of the price ceiling on the quantity demanded? On the quantity supplied? Who would benefit from the price ceiling and who would be harmed? Let the graph guide your thinking. Don’t start with your gut reaction! Did the price ceiling help the people it was designed to help? Explain the economic reasoning behind your analysis.
Some cities impose rent control laws, which are price controls or limits on the price of rental accommodations (apartments, houses, and mobile homes). New York City alone had over two million rent-controlled apartments in the early 1950s, but only about 27,000 as of 2014. Show the effect of a rent control law on the equilibrium rental price and the quantity of N.Y. apartments. Show the amount of excess demand on your supply-and-demand diagram. Consider the market rental dwellings in New York illustrated in the figure to the right. Suppose the maximum rent with New York's laws is p. 1.) Using the point drawing tool, indicate the quantity of rental dwellings demanded and the market rent with the rent control laws. Label this point 'ed.' 2.) Using the point drawing tool, indicate the quantity of rental dwellings supplied and the market rent with the rent control laws. Label this point 'es.' Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. P, rent Q Q, quantity…

The table shows the quantities of beer supplied and demanded (in millions of six packs) at different prices ($ per six pack) in an unregulated market with no tax. Suppose a tax of $5 per six pack is collected from sellers of beer. Assume that the demand curve and the supply curve are straight lines. Quantity supplied Quantity demanded Price $4 28 $8 24 24 $12 40 20 With the tax in effect: The equilibrium price of beer is $ per pack (enter a whole number, example: 10) The equilibrium quantity of beer is million packs (enter a whole number, example: 10) The buyers' share of the tax is $ A per pack (enter a whole number, example: 10) The sellers' share of the tax is $ per pack (enter a whole number. example: 10)
