Consider a free market with demand equal to Q = 1,200 – 10P and supply equal to Q = 20P. A. What is the value of consumer surplus? What is the value of producer surplus? What is the total surplus? B. Now the government imposes a $10 per unit subsidy on the production of the good. What is the consumer surplus now? The producer surplus? Why there is a deadweight loss associated with the subsidy, and what is the size of this loss

Suppose the market demand for organic grass-fed beef is given by Q=100-2P and the supply is given by Q= P/2 (quantity is given in thousand pounds). A) Find the equilibrium price of a pound of beef and the equilibrium quantity. B) Find the consumer surplus (CS) and producer surplus (PS) at the market equilibrium point. C) How will the equilibrium change if the government imposes a price ceiling of $20/pound? D) Show this market with the price ceiling in a supply and demand graph. E) Consider that the consumers who bought the beef at $20/pound are the ones with the highest willingness to pay (scenario 1), what is the new consumer surplus (CSnew) and the new producer surplus (PSnew)? F) What is the deadweight loss (DWL) after the price ceiling in scenario 1? G) What would happen in this market if, instead, the consumers who bought the beef were the ones with the lowest willingness to pay (scenario 2)? (Hint: You don’t have to show it mathematically, or graphically, but write…

The demand for ice cream is given by QD = 200 – 20P and the supply of ice cream is given by QS = - 100 + 40P. The quantity is measure in gallons of ice cream. - Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus at the market equilibrium. Now assume that the government decides to set the price of ice cream at $ 7.00 per gallon. Would this create a surplus or a shortage in the ice cream market? Calculate the surplus (or shortage). Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus at the new $ 7.00 price. What happened to each after the intervention of the government in the ice cream market? Calculate the deadweight loss after the imposition of the $ 7.00 price. Compare this to the deadweight loss associated with the market equilibrium. In your own words, explain why this deadweight loss is a measure of the inefficiency in the market created by the government intervention.
