Question III by the function Qd = 252 – 4P, and the supply is perfectly inelastic such that Qs = 172, as farmers cannot change the quantity supplied of cheese in the short-run. Calculate the following: Assume that the market demand for cheese is given 1. The consumer surplus in the market for cheese. 2. The own-price elasticity of demand for cheese at the price of $40 per unit. 3. The reservation price of consumers, at the point where the elasticity of demand is equal to 0.189.

Graphically, producer surplus is the area from the market price ($120) down to the supply curve and over to the equilibrium quantity of 120.
In a perfectly competitive market for cheese with downward sloping demand and upward sloping supply, the equilibrium price is $12 per kilo. If the government imposes a price ceiling of $10, we can conclude that the government policy will: Select one: a. reduce the number of units sold only if demand is elastic b. decrease producer surplus and decrease total surplus c. reduce the number of units sold only if demand is inelastic d. decrease producer surplus but increase total surplus e. increase producer surplus but decrease total surplus
