1. The Reinheitsgebot is a set of laws established in the 1500s that regulate the production and sale of beer in Germany. Among its provisions, the edict set maximum prices that brewers could charge at various times of the year: During Oktoberfest, the price for one [Bavarian Liter] is not to exceed one Pfennig (Penny, Munich value). Suppose that the demand for beer is given by $QD = 6000-1600P, and the supply of beer is given by QS = -1000+2000P. a) If a 1-Pfennig price ceiling is imposed, does the price ceiling make society better off? Does it make beer producers better off? Does it make beer drinkers better off?

2. Hope, Arkansas (home of both ex-President Bill Clinton and former Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee), has a subway system, for which a one-way fare is $1.50. There is pressure on Governor Huckabee to reduce the fare by one-third, to $1.00. The Governor is dismayed, thinking that this will mean Hope is losing one-third of its revenue from sales of subway tickets. The Governor's economic advisor reminds him that he is focusing only on the price effect and ignoring the quantity effect. Explain why the Governor's estimate of a one-third loss of revenue is likely to be an overestimate using elasticity of demand.
