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 is 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?
Are consumers better off with the price ceiling than without it? Explain.
How are suppliers affected?
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-anddemand 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.
Last year the average price for an airline ticket was $450, but the average price dropped to $375 this year due to a decrease in the demand for airplane travel. The accompanying table contains information on the supply of air travel.
a. Using the information in the table, move the points on the graph to sketch a supply curve.
b. Shade the area on the graph that represents producer surplus from the previous year when the price was $450. Also shade the area that represents producer surplus this year after the price has dropped to $375.
