Price Controls and Quotas ― End of Chapter Problem The Venezuelan government has imposed a price ceiling on the retail price of roasted coffee beans. The accompanying diagram shows the market for coffee beans. In the absence of price controls, the equilibrium is at point E, with an equilibrium price of P₁ and an equilibrium quantity bought and sold of QE. After the introduction of the price ceiling, the price falls to Pc and the quantity bought and sold falls to Qc. a. Show the consumer surplus after the introduction of the price ceiling by using the shape CS (assuming that the consumers with the highest willingness to pay get to buy the available coffee beans; that is, assuming that there is no inefficient allocation to consumers). b. Show the producer surplus after the introduction of the price ceiling by using the shape PS (assuming that the producers with the lowest cost get to sell their coffee beans; that is, assuming that there is no inefficient allocation of sales among producers).

In this market, the equilibrium price is per box, and the equilibrium quantity of blueberries is million boxes. For each of the prices listed in the following table, determine the quantity of blueberries demanded, the quantity of blueberries supplied, and the direction of pressure exerted on prices in the absence of any price controls. Price Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied Pressure on Prices (Dollars per box) (Millions of boxes) (Millions of boxes) 15 35 True or False: A price ceiling below $25 per box is not a binding price ceiling in this market. True False Because it takes six to eight years before newly planted blueberry plants reach full production, the supply curve in the short run is almost vertical. In the long run, farmers can decide whether to plant blueberries on their land, to plant something else, or to sell their land altogether. Therefore, the long-run supply of blueberries…
Question 11 of 26 > O Macmillan Learning The graphs show the market for bags of potato chips, which is currently at an equilibrium price of $1.33 per bag and an equilibrium quantity of 5.33 million bags. Suppose that, in an attempt to lower blood pressure and reduce healthcare costs, the government imposes a $1.00 excise (or commodity) tax on potato chips. Suppose the government levies this tax on manufacturers for each bag of potato chips they produce. Please shift the appropriate curve or curves to illustrate this.
