The demand function for corn is q = 200 - p and the supply function is q = 50+0.5p.
(a)What are the quilibrium prices and quantities?
(b) The government sets the price of corn at 150 and agrees to purchase and destroy any excess supply of corn at that price. How much money does it cost the government to buy this corn?
(c) Calculate the deadweight loss occurring because of this restriction.

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...

Suppose the aggregate demand for honey in a small country is given by Q^D = 100 − P and the aggregate supply is Q^S = P. The international price of honey is P^I = 60, and the world market is willing to buy or sell any amount at that price. Let all quantities be given in gallons and all prices in dollars per gallon. Suppose the country initially starts out with closed borders, and cannot import or export at all....
