Freeway Space
Refer to Exhibit 5-1, which shows supply and demand for freeway space at both 8 a.m. and 11 p.m. Suppose that the government decides to set the
money price of driving on the freeway at zero, but creates programs that encourage drivers to carpool. If the carpooling program is sufficiently
successful to eliminate the shortage of freeway space at 8 a.m., graphically the result of the increase in carpooling would be a
a. movement up along D8a.m. to the point where D8a.m. intersects the supply curve.
b. rightward shift of the supply of freeway space curve.
c. leftward shift of the demand for freeway space curve from D8a.m. to D11p.m.
d. leftward shift of the supply of freeway space curve.
What does each part of the graph stand for?
Assume that a local government imposes a price ceiling of $8, how many units will be excessively supplied/demanded?
