*You must show your work. Consider a competitive market with the following market supply and demand functions: Ps=1.5 + 0.65Q; PD = 95 - 0.05Q. (a) Derive the equilibrium price and quantity when there is no government intervention. (b) Suppose the government imposes a price ceiling of $60. Compute the deadweight welfare loss resulting from this action.

In a perfectly competitive market for cheese with downward sloping demand and upward sloping supply, the equilibrium price is $12 per kilo. If the government imposes a price ceiling of $10, we can conclude that the government policy will: Select one: a. reduce the number of units sold only if demand is elastic b. decrease producer surplus and decrease total surplus c. reduce the number of units sold only if demand is inelastic d. decrease producer surplus but increase total surplus e. increase producer surplus but decrease total surplus
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.
Find the consumers' surplus and the producers' surplus at the equilibrium price level for the given price-demand and price-supply equations. Include a graph that identifies the consumers' surplus and the producers' surplus. Round all values to the nearest integer. p=D(x) = 110e 0.004x. `; p= S(x) = 25e0.004x The value of x at equilibrium is. (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)
The market demand function for corn is Qd = 19 - 5P The market supply function is QS = 5P - 4 both quantities measured in billions of bushels per year. Instructions: Round all quantities to the nearest whole number and prices to 2 decimal places. a. What is consumer surplus at the competitive market equilibrium? b. What is producer surplus at the competitive market equilibrium? c. What is aggregate surplus at this equilibrium?
If the inverse market demand function for a good is P(Q) = 100 - 3Q and the inverse market supply function for a good is P(Q)= ) = 2Q, what are the consumer and producer surplus in the market equilibrium? The consumer surplus is $ 600. (round your answer to two decimal places.) The producer surplus is $400.00. (round your answer to two decimal places.)
Consider the following market demand and supply: Demand: P = 16 - 4Qd Supply: P = 6+ 3Qs If the market is at equilibrium, what is the producer surplus? Note: Express your answer in units of dollars, to at least two digits after the decimal. 3.06
