Expert Solution
Step 1: Determine the given information:

Demand equation: P equals 1200 minus 40 Q subscript d

Supply equation: P equals 200 plus 10 Q subscript s

Binding price control is at $363.

This price control can be a price ceiling if it is below the equilibrium price or it may be a price floor if it is above the equilibrium price.

The equilibrium price is the price at which the quantity demanded is equal to quantity supplied.

Societal deadweight loss is the loss of total surplus due to price control.
