During a discussion several year; ago on building a pipeline to Alaska to carry natural gas, the U.S. Senate passed a bill stipulating mat there should be a guaranteed minimum price for the natural gas that would flow through line pipeline. The thinking behind the bill was that if private firms had a guaranteed price for their natural gas, they would be more willing to drill for gas and to pay to build the pipeline. Using the demand and supply framework, predict the effects of this price floor on fine price, quantity demanded, and quantity supplied. With the enactment of this price floor for natural gas, what are some of the likely unintended consequences in line market? Suggest some policies other than the price floor that he government can pursue if it wishes to encourage drilling for natural gas and fur a new pipeline in Alaska.

Table 3.9 illustrates the markets demand and supply for cheddar cheese. Graph the data and find the equilibrium. Next, create a table showing the change in quantity demanded or quantity supplied, and a graph of the new equilibrium, in each of the following situations: The price of milk, a key input for cheese production, rises, so that the supply decreases by 80 pounds at every price. A new study says that eating cheese is good for your health, so that demand increases by 20 at every price.
