Suppose you live in a community with no price controls. What do you expect to happen if yourtown borders a community where there is a binding price floor on most products? Prices in the legal market in the community with a binding price floor would fall. There would be smaller surpluses in the community with a binding price floor. More consumers would purchase the product in the community without a price floor. The black market in the community with a binding price floor would be larger. Sales of the product in the community with a binding price floor would increase.

The market for smart phone applications is characterized by the following demand and supply curves. QD = D(P) = 15 - 3P QS = S(P) = 5 + 10P (a) Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity for this market. (b) The government is considering introducing a per unit subsidy of t on each electric car that is purchased. Suppose that the statutory incidence of this subsidy will be on buyers. Using the equilibrium conditions, D(Pn - t) = S(Pn) = Q* (i.e. that demand equals supply in equilibrium), derive an equation in terms of es and ed that describes what fraction of the subsidy is borne by buyers/consumers. (c) Suppose that the unit tax is set at t = 0.1 per unit. What is the excess burden of this tax per dollar of revenue raised? (d) Suppose that we incorrectly assumed that supply was perfectly elastic and there was no impact of the tax on the equilibrium price received by sellers. Would EB/Tax Revenue be higher or lower than what you calculated in part (c)? In 4 sentences, explain your…
Refer to the attached graph. Assume that the governments of the six states comprising New England impose a uniform price ceiling on electricity that is below the equilibrium price P2 you arrived at in Question 3. Please illustrate the impact of this price ceiling policy on New England’s electricity market graphically. Label this new effective price ceiling as PC; and indicate graphically the impact of the price ceiling, the quantity demanded and quantity supplied at this price, and clearly show any possible surpluses or shortages of electricity.
