Suppose that at equilibrium, the price elasticity of demand for wheat is -1.5 and the price elasticity of supply is 0.5. If the government imposes a price ceiling that is 12% below the equilibrium price, this price constraint will lead to: A) A shortage equal to 24% of the equilibrium quantity B) A surplus equal to 24% of the equilibrium quantity C) A shortage equal to 2.4% of the equilibrium quantity D) A surplus equal to 2.4% of the equilibrium quantity
The government decides that the sugar price support program is getting too expensive. It abandons the support price program and instead assigns a marketing quota to each sugar producer. This quota gives the holder the right to sell sugar on the market and can be transferred to other producers. Altogether the quotas allocate to sugar growers add up to 9 million cwt. Please grab this problem, indicating clearly the market price and quantity. Not sure if this is necessary for the question but given is demand for sugar: Q= 20 - P Supply for sugar: Q = 2 + P quantities are in million hundredweight (cwt) and price is dollars per cwt. picture is of previous question that goes along to help answer with this one. I am needing help with number 3 that is pictured
Suppose that the demand curve for wheat is: Q=140-20p and the supply curve is Q³=20p. The government imposes a price support at p-$4.00. What is the deadweight loss if the government supports the price by purchasing excess supply? (Assume the wheat will be destroyed.) The deadweight loss is $(Round your answer to the nearest penny and enter the deadweight loss as a positive number.) Suppose the government is considering supporting the price using a deficiency payment program. What would be the amount of the deficiency payment? The deficiency payment would be $ and there would be a deadweight loss of $. (Round your answer to the nearest penny and enter the deadweight loss as a positive number)
The demand (D) and supply (S) function for a commodity are P=100 - 20 and P = 10 + Q, respectively. (a) Find the equilibrium price and quantity. That is, find the price and quantity where the D and S functions intersect. (b) A new 10% tax is imposed on this commodity. Find the burden of the tax on demanders and the burden on suppliers. Also find the total taxes. [In order to insure that we all do this problem in the same way, let's assume that the tax is imposed on the supply side of the market. In addition, the burden of the tax on demanders is the difference in price demanders pay when the tax is in existence less the price they paid when there was no tax. The burden on suppliers is the difference in price suppliers received when there was no tax and the net price (after remitting tax to the government) they receive when the tax is in existence.]
Suppose Home is a small exporter of wheat. At the world price of 100 US dollars per tonne, Home growers export 20 tons of wheat. Now suppose the Home government decides to support its domestic producers with an specific export subsidy of 40 US dollars per tonne. Use Figure 1 to answer the following questions: Figure 1: Supply and Demand for Wheat at Home Home price 140 100 X 10 20 40 50 Supply Demand Quantity (a) Explain why consumer and producer surplus can be used to gauge the change in welfare caused by the export subsidy on individuals and firms.

Consider a country which taxes two goods, diamonds and bread. Each good has a supply elasticity of 1. The demand elasticity for diamonds is ηdd = −4; the demand elasticity for bread is ηbd = −0.25. In the market equilibrium, bread costs pb = $1 and a quantity of 100 is sold; diamonds cost $1000 and 10 are sold. Suppose a tax of τb = $0.50 is imposed on bread, and a tax of τd = $200 is imposed on diamonds. (a) What portion of the tax on bread is borne by consumers? What portion of the tax on diamonds is borne by consumers? (b) What is the deadweight loss from the tax on bread? What is the deadweight loss from the tax on diamonds? (c) Are these taxes optimal according to the Ramsey rule? If not, which tax should be increased and which should be decreased? (d) Are there any equity considerations which would argue against your answer for part (c)
Corn is a very valuable product for which the U.S. government routinely offers subsidies. With no price support, the equilibrium price for corn is $300 per ton and the equilibrium quantity is 500 million tons per year. Suppose that the government agrees to pay farmers $350 for every ton of corn they produce and can't sell in the market. According to the farmer's market supply curve, 600 million tons per year is supplied at the price of $350 a ton, so production should increase to this amount. However, domestic users of corn cut back their purchases. Only 450 million tons a year is demanded at the price of $350 a ton, and purchases decrease to this amount. Farmers continue to produce 500 million tons of corn per year, so because they produce a greater quantity of corn than domestic buyers are willing to purchase, something must be done with the surplus. To make the price support work, the government decides to buy the surplus. a. In this example, how many million tons does the…
Suppose that the demand and supply functions for good x are given as follows: Q=120-2P, +I+P, and Q=-30+ P₁ - 2r+s-2/ where P, denotes the price of good x, P, denotes the price of a related product y, I denotes income, t denotes tax firms face, s denotes subsidy and f denotes factor prices. What happens to the price and quantity equilibrium of good x as Income falls? Price equilibrium falls while quantity equilibrium rises. Both equilibrium price and quantity fall. Price equilibrium rises while quantity equilibrium falls. Both equilibrium price and quantity rise.
Which of the following is true? Once the equilibrium price and output is reached, all the mutually beneficial trade opportunities between suppliers and demanders will have taken place, and the sum of consumer and producer surplus is maximized. The deadweight loss of a tax is the difference between the lost consumer and producer surplus and the tax revenue generated. Those goods that are heavily taxed often have a relatively inelastic demand curve in the short run, so that the burden falls mainly on the buyer, and the deadweight loss to society is smaller than if the demand curve was more elastic. All of the above are true. Give the answer with proper explanation & Only typed Answer
