Question 9 You are going to buy your mom a live lobster for Mother's Day. The supply and demand for the lobsters are described by these equations: P = 8-1.7QD P = 1 + 1Qs The government wants to encourage more people to buy their mom a lobster so it gives people a $3 subsidy for each lobster purchased. How much do consumers owe to the seller after factoring in the subsidy? (This is asking about what we called PD in lecture.)

The following equations represent the annual quantity demanded (Qd) and quantity supplied (Qs) for tickets for Danubiana Museum of Modern Art in Bratislava, Slovakia. Qd = 50,000-1,000P Qs = 10,000+3,000P, where P is the price of a ticket in euros. a) Suppose that there is a price floor of 7 euros per museum ticket in Slovakia. Will there be a surplus or a shortage in the market for tickets for Danubiana Museum of Modern Art? If yes, how large will it be? b) Suppose that there is a price ceiling of 7 euros per museum ticket in Slovakia. Will there be a surplus or a shortage in the market for tickets for Danubiana Museum of Modern Art? If yes, how large will it be? c) Suppose that there is a price ceiling of 20 euros per museum ticket in Slovakia. Will there be a surplus or a shortage in the market for tickets for Danubiana Museum of Modern Art? If yes,…
Which of the following would lead to the creation of some consumer surplus? Sam refuses to pay $10 for a haircut because it is only worth $8 to him. Fred buys a car for $4000, the maximum amount that he is willing to pay. Danette pays $30 a month for phone service, but it is worth $70 a month to her. When Florence purchases a candy bar for 50 cents, she uses a $20 bill to pay for it.
Consider the data in the table below when you answer this question. (As the table suggests, the demand curve for this continuous good is a straight line and so is the supply curve. Use that information and the geometric method for calculating surplus.)

Continue your analysis of the video poker market in Cedar Rapids: demand by patrons for the games (in thousands per week) is Qd = 180 - 4P and the supply is Qs = 2P - 30 where P is the price in cents charged to play a game. Now suppose that the city of Cedar Rapids passes a new law which requires that all video poker arcades contribute m cents to a city charitable fund for each game played on their machines. This is, essentially, an excise tax. In a new diagram, show the effect of the new law on the market and explain this effect. (Do not try to give an algebraic solution; just show what happens graphically and provide a description. Please be sure to illustrate how the tax of m cents shifts a specific curve, consistent with the approach we’ve taken in this course in modeling taxes and subsidies. Clearly indicate the distance by which the curve has shifted. Recall that the direction of the shift carries a specific meaning in economics for depicting taxation/subsidies.) Graphically…
Suppose the current price of a good is $125. At this price, the quantity supplied is 150 units, and the quantity demanded is 110 units. For every $1 decrease in price, the quantity supplied decreases by 5 units and the quantity demanded increases by 3 units. At the current price, the quantity demanded is _____ than the quantity supplied. This means that the market is currently experiencing a ______ . In order to adjust, the market price will ______ until the quantity demanded and quantity supplied are equal. The result is an equilibrium quantity of ________ and an equilibrium price of _______ .
Suppose that the government establishes a price ceiling of $3.70 for wheat. What might prompt the government to establish this price ceiling?
The equilibrium price of a good is $13$⁢13. Suppose the government introduces a tax on this good. In this case, the price paid by consumers is 1.51.5 times more than the equilibrium price, and the price received by producers is 1.31.3 times less than the equilibrium price. Calculate the amount of tax per good. Enter your answer in the box below and round to two decimal places if necessary.
Suppose Atlanta imposes a rent control program that fixes rents at $300 below the equilibrium rent. With this plan Question 1 options: the deadweight loss in Atlanta's apartment market will be eliminated. the quantity of apartments demanded will increase. the quantity of apartments supplied will increase. young people and poor people will have an easier time finding apartments. there will be a surplus of apartments offered for rent.
