a)Findthecompetitiveequilibriumprice,quantity,andproducersurplus. (b) Suppose the government wants to help the consumers by imposing a price ceiling of Pc = 4. Find the market equilibrium price, quantity, and producer surplus. (c) Suppose now the producers are complaining, and the government de- cides to keep the price ceiling policy, but at the same time, the government will give a subsidy of s per unit to the producers. What is value of s that can make the producers as well off as before imposing the price ceiling (that is, producer surplus equals to the value in part (a))?
