4. Currently the equilibrium price and quantity in the milk market are $4 per gallon and
100,000 gallons. The Price Elasticity of Demand is determined to be 0.80 while the
Price Elasticity of Supply is determined to be 1.20. A price floor is set at 20% above the
current equilibrium price.
(a) Determine the dollar amount of the price floor.
(b) Determine the Qs after the price is imposed.
(c) Determine the Qd after the price is imposed.

The second component is the demand for rubber erasers by all others. This demand is given by Qo = 32,000 - 2,000P. (a) What is the total quantity demanded of rubber erasers if the price of an eraser is: (i) $10 (ii) $15 (iii) $20 (iv) $30 (v) $70 (b) Assume that the supply of rubber erasers is given by Qs = 14,000+ 175P. (i) Find the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity. (ii) Calculate the total consumer surplus.
