2. C
Due to the increase in price it benefits some and due to fewer transaction it decreases for some of the producers.

In Figure 8.9, the market equilibrium output and price of the bread market is shown to be at (Q, P) = (5,000, €2). Suppose that the mayor requires bakeries to sell as much bread as consumers want, at a price of €1.50. Which of the following statements are correct? [Select all correct answers}. A).The producer surplus increases but the consumer surplus decreases. B).The consumer surplus increases but the producer surplus decreases. C).The total surplus is lower than at the market...
A tax on a product (assuming there are no externalities) causes a deadweight loss because: some consumer surplus is transferred from buyers to producers. some producer surplus is transferred from producers to consumers. some consumer and producer surplus is transferred to the government. it distorts the incentives of producers and consumers so that the efficient level of output is not produced. The total utility from consuming the first five donuts is: 9, 15, 21, 22, and 21 utils. Marginal utility...
If a $5 tax on each pack of cigarettes causes the market price of cigarettes to increase by $2.50 then which of the following statements is true? consumers must be more elastic than producers consumers must be less elastic than producers consumers and producers must be equally elastic Question 42 (1 point) If the elasticity of demand is -1.8 and the elasticity of supply is 1, then consumers are than producers and the relative consumer burden will equal . Hint:...
Refer to the table above. If the market is originally in equilibrium and a price ceiling of $50 is imposed, which of the following is incorrect? A. Net surplus in the economy will decrease B. Producer surplus will decrease C. Supply will decrease D. Consumers will purchase less than they would at the equilibrium price E. Producers will sell less than they would at the equilibrium price Supply P* Gi Demand Qd Qs Quantity
All else equal, when the market price falls below equilibrium, consumer surplus: O stays the same. o decreases. o increases. O equals producer surplus.
The market demand isQd= 15−P, and the market supply isQs=P/2. (a) Assume that the market is perfectly competitive. What are the equilibrium price and quantity? (b) Assume that the market is perfectly competitive. What is the equilibrium consumer,producer, and total surplus? (c) In order to support producers by increasing prices, the government imposes a production quota ofQ= 4 units. What will the market clearing price be? At that price,what is the consumer, producer, and total surplus? What is the deadweight...
$12 $10 $6 $4 $2 DE 10 According to the graph shown, if the market goes from equilibrium to having its price set at $10 then: A. $12 gets transferred from consumer surplus to producer surplus. B. area C is lost surplus due to fewer transactions taking place. C. area E is lost surplus due to fewer transactions taking place. All of these are true.
