Question
Given a demand curve of P = 66 - 2Q and a supply curve of P = 6 + 0.5Q, consider a subsidy of 30 and a tax of 15.
Solve for the resulting quantity (Answer 1) and the resulting deadweight loss (Answer 2).
Solution
To solve this problem, you need to recognize that only the net effect matters. The net effect here is a subsidy of 15.
Using the usual procedure, we find that the resulting quantity is 30 and the DWL is 45.

(5) On the market for wine, the private demand curve is given as PD=200-2Q. The supply curve is given as PS= 10+0.5Q. (a) what is the free market outcome (price and quantity)? What is the overall surplus? (b) Now assume farmers “need” a price of P=60 and the government were to buy the quantity needed to reach this price. Calculate the new quantity and price? What is the governments expenditure? Calculate the deadweight loss of this policy. (c) Now assume...

the demand is P = 185 – 2Q & supply is P = 25 + 2Q. Equilibrium price = $105 Equilibrium Quantity = 40 To enable more citizens to buy more gasoline, the Government decides to give gasoline producers a subsidy of $12 per unit. What price will consumer’s pay and how much gasoline will they buy? How much will the Government spend on the subsidy? What will be the change in producer surplus?
