Suppose that initially, the gasoline market is in equilibrium. War in the Middle East disrupts imports of oil into the United States shifting the supply curve to S2.  The price of gasoline begins to rise, and consumers protest.  The government intervenes and sets a price ceiling of $3 per gallon. Use the graph below to answer questions    What are the original equilibrium price and quantity? What is the equilibrium price and quantity after the Middle East war begins (S2)? If the price ceiling is imposed, what will occur? A surplus or shortage?   Suppose that initially, the gasoline market is in equilibrium.

The following graph shows the annual market for Florida oranges, which are sold in units of 90-pound boxes.   (a). True or False: A price ceiling above $25 per box is a binding price ceiling in this market. (Hint: Economists call a price ceiling that prevents the market from reaching equilibrium a binding price ceiling.)   (b).  Because it takes many years before newly planted orange trees bear fruit, the supply curve in the short run is almost vertical. In the long run, farmers can decide whether to plant oranges on their land, to plant something else, or to sell their land altogether. Therefore, the long-run supply of oranges is much more price sensitive than the short-run supply of oranges. Assuming that the long-run demand for oranges is the same as the short-run demand, you would expect a binding price ceiling to result in a _____ (options: shortage, surplus) that is _____ (options: smaller, larger) in the long run than in the short run.
