The price ceiling in the market is below the equilibrium price so the demand will increase and the supply will decrease. the answer is "B" an excess demand for doctor visit.

Suppose the equilibrium price of potatoes is $5 per pound, but the government imposes a price ceiling of $2 per pound, creating a deadweight loss. True or False: If the government imposes a sales tax of $1 per pound of potatoes (while continuing to maintain the price ceiling), then the deadweight loss will get even larger.
Consider a market in which the government imposes a price ceiling. Assume that neither supply nor demand is perfectly elastic nor perfectly inelastic. Which of the following groups will always gain from a price ceiling? Consumer Producers The government Society as a whole, because total surplus will increase No group will always gain from a price ceiling
Suppose that the government imposes a $10 tax on sellers of Humbugs. The pre-tax price of Humbugs was $50. If, at the original equilibrium price, the elasticity of demand was 2 and the elasticity of supply was 15, which of the following is true? The equilibrium quantity of Humbugs will not change. The full amount of the tax will be paid by buyers. Sellers will pay relatively more of the tax than buyers. Buyers will pay relatively more of the...
The following graph shows the market for doctor's office visits. In this market, the central government provides health insurance to all consumers. The government insurance plan stipulates a copayment of $40 per doctor's office visit. That is, consumers pay $40 for each doctor's appointment, and the government pays the remainder.

Suppose that a rise in average income increases the demand for preventative dental visits. a. The increase in income leads to an increase in (quantity supplied OR supply). This is because, as demand increases, (the supply curve shifts to the right to accommodate the increase in demand OR the equilibrium quantity moves up the supply curve to a higher price and more quantity supplied). b. Shift the appropriate curve or curves below to show the effect of this change. Market...
Suppose that the demand curve for sorghum is Q = 120 - 69and the supply curve is Q=15p. The government imposes a price ceiling of P_{c} = 3a. What effect does this have on the equilibrium quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus. and deadweight loss?b. Who wins and who loss
21. Suppose the government imposes a S9 per unit tax on the production of Good Z. If the demand curve for Good Z is perfectly inelastic and the supply curve is upward-sloping, the price that consumers pay for the good will: A) increase by S9. B) increase by S4.50. C) increase by more than S9.
