Homework (Ch 06) Back to Assignment Attempts Do No Harm / 1 3. Effects of rent control Rent controls force landlords to price apartments below the equilibrium price level. An immediate effect is a shortage (excess demand) of apartments, because the quantity of apartments demanded is greater than the quantity supplied at the regulated price. When cities prevent landlords from charging market rents, which of the following are common long-run outcomes? Check all that apply. O Landlords earn lower profits from renting housing units, but the rent charged has no effect on either the quantity or quality of rental units. O The future supply of rental housing units increases. O Black markets develop. O The quality of rental housing units falls.

3. EFC Corporation, which manufactures goods at three locations at D, E, F. The firm distributes the goods through regional were-house located at A, B, C. The firm has found that production costs per good are identical for each factory, and hence the only relevant costs are those of shipping from each factory (D, E and F) to each destination (A, B and C). Assume the cost constant regardless of the volume shipped. Table below shows supply, demand and cost for a unit of transportation.

The information in the table below shows the demand schedule for water in a certain small town. Assume the marginal cost of supplying water is constant at $4 per bottle. Price Quantity (bottles) $9 200 $8 400 $7 600 $6 800 $5 1000 $4 1200 $3 1400 $2 1600 (Note: You may want to extend this table to generate additional data. If you do, you need not submit the extended table.) 1. Suppose there is only one supplier of water in this market, what will be its price and quantity for water? (MAKE THE SOLUTIONS READABLE!!!) 2. If there are two suppliers of water in the market (Victor and Sam) and they are able to collude and successfully form a cartel and agree to divide the market evenly, what would be the price of water and what quantity of water will each firm sell? How much profit will each seller earn (show solution)? 3. Suppose the town enacts new antitrust laws that prohibit Victor and Sam from operating as a monopolist.…
10. Competitive Supermarkets A small town is served by many competing supermarkets, which all have the same constant marginal cost. Use the black point (plus symbol) to show the competitive price and quantity in this market. Then use the green area (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing consumer surplus in the market for groceries, and use the purple area (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing producer surplus. Price, Cost, Revenue Demand Competitive Market Quantity of Groceries Competitive Outcome Consumer Surplus Marginal Co Producer Surplus Now suppose that the independent supermarkets combine into one chain. Use the black point (plus symbol) to show the profit-maximizing monopoly outcome. Then use the green area (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing consumer surplus in the market for groceries, and use the purple area (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing producer surplus. Finally, use the black area (plus symbol) to shade the area…
