Government has to purchase the excess supply

Total cost=4*1.5=$6million
Thus Government needs to spend $6million in order to make price=$4 for market

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is reviewing a proposal to pay farmers a price support of $3.00 per bushel for a given commodity. The market demand for the commodity is given by the equation QD = 16 – 4P, where Q is in billions of bushels. The market supply of the commodity is given by the equation QS = −2 + 2P. Rather than buying surplus production, the USDA will require that farmers only produce the quantity demanded at...

In recent years, the government of Pakistan has established a support price for wheat of about $0.22 per kilogram of wheat. At this price, consumers are willing to purchase 10 billion kilograms of wheat per year, while Pakistani farmers are willing to grow and harvest 19 billion kilograms of wheat per year. The government purchases and stores all surplus wheat. What are annual consumer expenditures on the Pakistani wheat crop? $ 2.20 billion (round your answer to two decimal places)...
1. Suppose that corn currently costs $4 per bushel and that wheat currently costs $3 per bushel. Also assume that the price elasticity of corn is 0.10, while the price elasticity of wheat is 0.15 Both have an income elasticity of 0.10. If the price of corn fell by 25 percent to $3 per bushel, by what percentage would the quantity demanded of corn increase? What if the price of wheat fell by 33 percent to $2 per bushel? a....
4. Consider the product market for "Winter Wheat". If the Government has established a price floor and intends to purchase all surplus wheat draw the probable demand and supply curves and identify the equilibrium price and quantity demanded. (a) Determine the cost to the government to buy all the surplus wheat during a "bumper" crop year (b) An alternative program wil1 pay farmers to restrict acreage production. Explain how this alternative could result in the same price floor by shifting...

At the current price, the quantity demanded is (greater
or less) than the quantity supplied. This means that the
market is currently experiencing a (surplus or
shortage). In order to adjust, the market price will
(decrease or increase) until the quantity demanded
and quantity supplied are equal. The result is an equilibrium
quantity of ________ and an equilibrium price of $
_________.
