The wheat market is perfectly competitive, and the market supply and demand curves are given by the following equations: QD = 20,000,000 - 4,000,000P QS = 7,000,000 + 2,500,000P, where QD and QS are quantity demanded and quantity supplied measured in bushels, and P = price per bushel. a. Determine consumer surplus at the equilibrium price and quantity. b. Assume that the government has imposed a price floor at $2.25 per bushel and agrees to buy any resulting excess supply. How many bushels of wheat...
4. Suppose the market for grass seed can be expressed as: Demand: Qd = 200 - 5P Supply: Qs = 40 + 5P If the government collects a $5 specific tax from sellers (here you can change the supply equation to Qs = 40 + 5(P-t) or Qs = 15+ 5P, How much will the quantity demanded change from the amount demanded before the tax? What price will consumers pay after the tax? What price will sellers receive after the...

Question 10: Suppose that, based on market demand and market supply, the market equilibrium price for a pound of tangerines is Pe = $3, and the equilibrium quantity is le = 1,700. Suppose that policymakers decide to impose a price of Pm = $5 per pound. This results in a new quantity supplied at this price, namely Qs = 2,200; as well as a new quantity demanded at this price, namely (p = 1,100. Show graphically and calculate the impact...
A market is described by the following supply and demand curves: Qs = 3P Qd = 400-P The equilibrium price is S and the equilibrium quantity is Suppose the government imposes a price ceiling of $80. This price ceiling is , and the market price will be supplied will be . and the quantity demanded will be . Therefore, a price calling of $60 will result in the quantity the quantity Suppose the government imposes a price floor of $80....
10. Problems and Applications Q10 A market is described by the following supply and demand curves: QS = 4P QD = 400-P The equilibrium price is $_______ and the equilibrium quantity is _______ . Suppose the government imposes a price ceiling of $90. This price ceiling is _______ , and the market price will be $_______ . The quantity supplied will be _______ and the quantity demanded will be _______ . Therefore, a price ceiling of $90 will result in _______ . Suppose the government imposes a price...
The market for rice in a country has the following demand and supply functions: Demand function: P = 6 – 0.5QD Supply function: P = 2 + 0.5QS Where QD is the quantity demanded, QS is the quantity supplied and P is the unit price of rice. Determine the equilibrium price, quantity, consumer surplus and producer surplus in the rice market. Illustrate your answers with a suitable rice market diagram.
