- Explain with the aid of a diagram, what happens in the market for electricity if the government fixes a maximum price below equilibrium pricearrow_forwardConsider a market that is initially in equilibrium and the equilibrium price and quantity are P and Q respectively. Then, the government decides to impose a price ceiling at a price of Pc that is less than P. Which of the following statements is correct? 1. After the price ceiling is imposed, the quantity demanded is less than the quantity supplied on the market. 2. After the price ceiling is imposed, the quantity actually sold in the market is lower than it was before the price ceiling was imposed. 3. Producer surplus in the market increased after the price ceiling was imposed. 4. Since Pc is less than P, the price ceiling is effective and therefore, there is no deadweight loss in the market.arrow_forwardIf a municipality sets a price ceiling below equilibrium for apartments in New York City, Select one: a. the price ceiling will create a surplus of apartments b. the price ceiling will create a shortage of apartments c. the price ceiling will not affect the market for apartments d. the market for more broadway plays will increase Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

- You will analyze the Market for Gasoline Step 1: Draw a supply-and-demand diagram. Price is on the vertical axis, quantity is on the horizontal axis, demand is downward-sloping, supply is upward- sloping, and be sure to label equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity. Step 2. Change colors! If you have a highlighter or colored pencil (crayon, sharpie, whatever). Step 3. Show the change in demand or supply (only one curve will shift in each scenario). State if the curve decreases or increases. Step 4: Show the new equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity. Step 5: Repeat Steps 1-4 for each scenario. You will have a total of 4 graphs. Scenario A: A hurricane destroys refineries that produce gasoline. Scenario B: Consumers purchase electric vehicles that do not need gasoline. • Scenario C: Technological innovation occurs that reduces the cost of producing gasoline. Scenario D: Road trips become the one and only vacation option and many families opt for long-distance road trips. ● .arrow_forwardSuppose Atlanta imposes a rent control program that fixes rents at $300 below the equilibrium rent. With this plan Question 1 options: the deadweight loss in Atlanta's apartment market will be eliminated. the quantity of apartments demanded will increase. the quantity of apartments supplied will increase. young people and poor people will have an easier time finding apartments. there will be a surplus of apartments offered for rent.arrow_forwardTable 4-6 Price (Dollars per unit) 5 4 3 2 1 Quantity Demanded (Units) 20 30 40 50 60 Refer to Table 4-6.

- What will be the result of an decrease in a price ceiling for gasoline? Group of answer choices The quantity will decrease because the quantity demanded will decrease. The quantity will remain the same; only the price will change. The quantity will increase because the quantity demanded will increase. The quantity will decrease because the quantity supplied will decrease.arrow_forwardA). Draw the supply and demand curves for the market of specific good. B). Suppose that the equilibrium price for this product is $4 and the equilibrium quantity is 100 units. If the government imposes a price ceiling of $3 what happens? Draw the new graph explaining how quantities are affected by that decision. C). Suppose that the equilibrium price for this product is $4 and the equilibrium quantity is 100 units. If the government imposes a price floor of $5 what happens? Draw the new graph explaining how quantities are affected by that decision.arrow_forwardAssume that we are looking at the market for snowblowers in December. The initial equilibrium is at a price of $500 and quantities of 1,000. Assume that December begins with three massive blizzards, how might this impact the snowblower market? Demand will shift to the right, causing a surplus, which causes prices to increase until we end up with higher prices and a greater quantity. Demand will shift to the right, causing a shortage, which causes prices to increase until we end up with higher prices and a lessor quantity. Demand will shift to the right, causing a shortage, which causes prices to increase until we end up with higher prices and a greater quantity. Demand will shift to the right, causing a shortage, which causes prices to decrease until we end up with higher prices and a greater quantity.arrow_forward
