A perfectly competitive market is characterized by the following inverse demand function and inverse supply function where Q is output and P is the price in dollars. Demand: P = 100 – QD Supply: P = 10 + QS Suppose that a price ceiling of $30 is set by the government. Calculate the consumer surplus, the producer surplus, and the deadweight loss as a result of the government price ceiling

In a perfectly competitive market for cheese with downward sloping demand and upward sloping supply, the equilibrium price is $12 per kilo. If the government imposes a price ceiling of $10, we can conclude that the government policy will: Select one: a. reduce the number of units sold only if demand is elastic b. decrease producer surplus and decrease total surplus c. reduce the number of units sold only if demand is inelastic d. decrease producer surplus but increase total surplus e. increase producer surplus but decrease total surplus

A market is described by the following supply and demand curves: QS = 3P QD = 400−P The equilibrium price is $ and the equilibrium quantity is . Suppose the government imposes a price ceiling of $120. 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 $120 will result in . Suppose the government imposes a price floor of $120. This price floor is , and the market price will be $ . The quantity supplied will be and the quantity demanded will be . Therefore, a price floor of $120 will result in . Instead of a price control, the government levies a tax on producers of $40. As a result, the new supply curve is:
