The ticket price for a play at a Broadway theater is $160, and the theater is full every night. The theater owner, in consultation with a local non-profit arts group, wants to make attending the play more affordable, to open up the theater experience to patrons with more limited budgets. The owner decides to lower the ticket price to $50. Sketch a supply and demand graph that represents the market for these play tickets under this price-ceiling policy. Briefly explain why this market is not in equilibrium when the price ceiling is in effect. On your graph, clearly identify the size of the shortage or surplus this market will experience.
