In time of this pandemic, would a price ceiling be an effective solution to the high prices of masks offered by suppliers (being that a mask can be seen as a necessity )
18-19. In the competitive market for white sugar, consumer demand is given by P=100-0.050 and suppliers' behaviour is represented by the supply curve of P=1+0.005Q, where P is measured in dollars and Q is measured in kilos per month. Questions 17 through 19 refer to this market. 18. Imagine now that the government imposes a price ceiling of $5.00 per kilo on sugar, and that the ceiling is obeyed by all market participants. In the resulting equilibrium the total number of kilos of sugar exchanged in the market is equal to: A) 2100 G) 800 B) 2000 H) 600 A) $5 G) $70 C) 1900 I) 400 B) $10 H) $80 19. Suppose suppliers obey the price ceiling but consumers sell sugar on a black market. What will the black market price for sugar be? D) 1400 E) 1200 J) None of the above C) $10.50 I) $21 E) $50 F) 1000 D) $40 J) None of the above F) $60
Your uncle is very upset because after a recent snow storm he was charged $300 by a private snow- removal company to clear his driveway. He wants to petition the local village government to pass a law to put a cap on how much firms can charge for clearing driveways. As a student of economics, your uncle asks your advice on the wording of his petition. Provide a short response to your uncle in the form of a letter. Do you agree with him on the price ceiling, or disagree? How should this issue best be addressed?
The graph below shows one city's short- and long-run supply (Ssr, Sir) and demand (Dsr, Dir) curves for two-bedroom apartments. Rent controls are in place, as represented by the price ceiling, Pceil. Move each of the vertical lines into the proper position to indicate the short- and long-run quantities supplied (Qssr and Qsir) and the short-and long-run quantities demanded (Qpsr and Qpir).
Use the line drawing tool to add the short-run and long-run rental housing supply curves to the accompanying figure. Do this so that the figure's three curves share point E. Carefully follow the instructions above. Do not draw any additional objects. Regardless of the supply curve used, it is clear that the price ceiling produces a housing market. in the rental A comparison of the short-run and long-run shortages indicates that the long-run shortage is Which of the following is NOT a reason why the long-run shortage is larger? OA. Some older structures are allowed to deteriorate to the point that they are torn down. B. Fewer new apartments are built due to reduced profitability. C. The price ceiling is continuously lowered. OD. Some existing structures are converted to alternative uses.

assume that a minimum wage already exists in society. Please explain the effects on the economy of increasing the minimum wage. Be sure to discuss who gains and who loses(Consumer and Producer surplus) as well the inefficiencies that this price floor would create. Make sure you show this graphically as well.
Exercise 2. Suppose that Government is currently evaluating a project, which is going to hire native language teachers and requires in total 5000 hours of teaching. Let's denote the hour taught by native language teacher by letter L. Thus, the project's demand for teaching hours by native language teachers is described by the demand function La project = 5000. Suppose that the following is known about the current (pre-project) market for native language teachers: - there is no involuntary unemployment among the native language teachers - the Government does not apply any taxes or subsidies in this particular labour market; - the current (pre-project) demand for teaching hours by native language teachers is described by the demand function La = 30000 – 300Wa, where La denotes the quantity of teaching hours (by native language teachers) demanded and Wa denotes the demander price per teaching hour; - the current (pre-project) supply of teaching hours by native language teachers is given…
