Answer: ( D)
Since here price ceiling is below the equilibrium level of price. Hence, price control is effective here. thus, there would be deadweight loss or both consumer surplus and producer surplus would decrease.
Eventually, total surplus would decrease here.

CS AND PS Price Controls for Medical Care. Consider a town where the equilibrium price of a doctor's visit is $60 and the equilibrium quantity supplied is 90 patient visits per hour. For suppliers (doctors), each $1 increase in price increases the quantity supplied by two visits. For consumers, each $1 increase in price decreases the quantity demanded by one visit. Suppose that in an attempt to control the rising costs of medical care the government imposes price controls, setting...
Consider the market for soybeans illustrated in the figure below. Assume the market is initially in equilibrium at point A. Then assume the government imposes a price floor of p2. How does this affect the market?The price floor results in an equilibrium where supply equals demand. The price floor results in a surplus of corn. The price floor is not binding and has no effect The price floor results in a shortage of corn
