Suppose that the demand curve for wheat is: Qd=120-15p and the supply curve is: QS = 15p. The government imposes a price support at p = $5.00. What is the deadweight loss if the government supports the price by purchasing excess supply? (Assume the wheat w be destroyed.) The deadweight loss is $ positive number.) (Round your answer to the nearest penny and enter the deadweight loss as a

Consider a market with the equilibrium quantity = 100 and the equilibrium price = 50. Without further information on the market, can we answer the quantity that maximizes the total surplus? If we can, answer the quantity. If we cannot, answer “Cannot”.
If the economy goes into a recession and incomes fall, what happens in markets? Prices of inferior goods go up because the demand for them increases Prices of normal goods go up because the demand for them increases Prices of all goods go down None of the other answers is correct Suppose the demand curve is given by P=10-Q and the supply curve by Q=P If the price in the market is given by $7, then The market is in equilibrium There is a a surplus in the market There is a shortage in the market Increasing the price will result in an increase in the quantity demanded
Suppose that the annual demand and supply curves for some good in a competitive market are QD = 26 – 2P and QS = −2 + 2P a: Solve for the equilibrium quantity and price.b: Neatly graph this market, showing the horizontal and vertical intercepts of the demand curve,the vertical intercept of the supply curve, and the equilibrium. Make sure to put quantity on the horizontalaxis.
Suppose the demand function for avocados is Q=104-40p + 20p₁ +0.01Y, where p is the price of avocados, p, is the price of tomatoes, and Y is average income, and the supply function for avocados is where p, is the price of fertilizer. Suppose p = $0.80, Y = $4,000, and p = $0.40. What is the equilibrium price and quantity of avocados? The equilibrium price of avocados is and the equilibrium quantity is Q=58+15p -20pf, and the equilibrium quantity is p=$2 Q = 80 units. (Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.) Suppose the government charges a $2.20 specific tax per avocado to be paid by consumers. With the tax, the equilibrium price of avocados is p=$ Q= units.

14. Over the past few year’s consumer tastes and the number of buyers in the market for a game called ‘pickle ball’ have increased dramatically. Thus, the demand for tickets to pickle ball events has increased. Before this all started the equilibrium price of a ticket to a pickle ball event was negative. This means that: A few years ago, there would have been a surplus of tickets even at a price of zero, now the invisible hand has pushed prices to greater than zero. A few years ago, the quantity of tickets demanded was less than quantity supplied. Pickle ball event tickets resembled the market for recyclable cardboard a few years ago Greater demand for pickle ball tournament tickets will lead to a greater demand – and higher pay – for professional pickle ball players. All of the above. B and D only
The figure below represents the market for Gasoline, where initially the equilibrium price was $5.60. The picture shows the effect of a $1.50 tax on gasoline. Using the information from the figure, what is the price elasticity of supply(Using the Midpoint method) when moving from equilibrium to the new supply after the tax?(round your answer to 2 decimal places)
