Task 8 Government intervention in competitive markets For Paradise Island, the demand and supply functions in the market for bread have been estimated as Demand : Q(P) 600 10P, %3D Supply : Q(P) 40P. %3D Since in the current perfectly competitive market equilibrium the price of a single unit of bread is rather high, the government plans to prevent excessively high prices of bread by imposing a price ceiling. After a lengthy discussion about which price ceilings affect the market price and which do not, the government implements a law prohibiting the sale of a unit of bread at a price above P and decides to ask a research agency to quantify the chånge of the economic surplus. At the same time the government wonders why it receives plenty of complaints of consumers that are ready to buy bread at $6 but find themselves unable to do so. As a response to the result of the ordered research report and continuing consumer complaints, the government abolishes the price ceiling. $6. The government is extremely proud of its courageous regulation policy
