Homework Answers
Maximum price means price ceiling while minimum price means price floor.
Under price floor, there is excess supply of good because floor is set above equilibrium price of market.
Under price ceiling, there is excess demand of good because ceiling is set below equilibrium price of market.
Sales tax increases the cost of firm and thus supply of good decreases which shifts supply curve leftwards and causing dead-weight loss.

Problem Setup
Analyze each of the following three scenarios (Efficient, A, and
B) describing the market for widgets.
Consider the market for widgets. Consumers have a market
(aggregate)

1. The demand and supply functions for widgets are as follows: Qd =60-0.5P Qs =0.5P-20 a. Solve for the competitive equilibrium price and quantity of widgets in this market. Illustrate this equilibrium in a graph. On your graph, show the regions that represent consumer surplus and producer surplus. Calculate the value of consumer surplus, producer surplus, and overall welfare. b. Suppose the government enacts a law stating that only 10 widgets can be produced and sold in the market. At...
