5. Consider a market in which demand and supply have the following functional forms:
The free-market equilibrium is at P = $24 and Q = 12.
Qd = 24-1/2PB and Qs = -12+PS
a. Graph the free market equilibrium in the space below. Label the curves and show the values of ALL intercepts (show your work to find them).
b. Now suppose that the Government decides to impose a $6 per-unit subsidy in this market. Calculate the price paid by buyers, net price received by sellers, and quantity exchanged once a new equilibrium has been reached after the imposition of the subsidy.
c. In your graph, shade in the change in consumer surplus and the change in producer surplus after the subsidy.
d. Calculate the deadweight loss associated with this subsidy and explain what this deadweight loss represents.

Suppose that the market for fine champagne is currently in equilibrium. The demand and supply functions are as follows: QS = (1⁄2) P QD= 12 – (1/4)P a. Calculate the equilibrium quantity and price. Then graph supply and demand and show the equilibrium. b. Suppose that the government is considering a tax of $12 per bottle of champagne. Calculate each of the following: i. The change in equilibrium quantity due to the tax. ii. The change in the price buyers...

Consider the market for mountain bikes. The following graph
shows the demand and supply for mountain bikes before the
government imposes any taxes. First, use the black point (plus
symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity of mountain
bikes in the absence of a tax. Then use the green point (triangle
symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer surplus (CS)
at the equilibrium price. Next, use the purple point (diamond
symbol) to shade the area representing total producer...
