The market demand for bicycle helmets is given by D(P) = 90−4P and the market supply ischaracterized by S(P) =P−10. In both expressions, P is the price per unit. The government introduces a per unit subsidy of S per helmet, that is paid out to the producer for each sale of helmets. (a) What is the equilibrium price and quantity before the government intervenes in the market? (b) What is the equilibrium price and quantity after the government intervenes in the marketimposing a per subsidy S >0? Hint: You have to find the equilibrium for all relevant levels of S. (c) Calculate changes in consumer surplus, producer surplus and welfare, as a function of subsidy S, due to the introduction of the subsidy. What welfare conclusion(s) do you draw? Illustrate graphically.

A government is contemplating an increase from $2 to $2.5 in the toll on a highway that is - at present - used by 9,000 cars per day. After the toll is increased, it is projected that only 7,000 cars per day will use it. Assuming that the weekly marginal cost of highway use is equal to $1.8 per car: calculate the change in government welfare, the change in consumer welfare and the net social surplus change.
