A). Draw the supply and demand curves for the market of specific good.
B). Suppose that the equilibrium price for this product is $4 and the equilibrium quantity is 100 units. If the
government imposes a price ceiling of $3 what happens? Draw the new graph explaining how quantities are affected
by that decision.
C). Suppose that the equilibrium price for this product is $4 and the equilibrium quantity is 100 units. If the
government imposes a price floor of $5 what happens? Draw the new graph explaining how quantities are affected
by that decision.
The government is interested in imposing a tax on the local gasoline market. Using a tax modified demand, indicate in an appropriate diagram the effect of this tax on this market, labeling everything. Explain what happens to demand, supply, equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity exchanged and why.

In an effort to curb planetary obesity, authorities levy a tax of $20 per unit of lunar candy. How much of this tax is borne by the sellers? That is, by how much does the seller’s price change?
demand - q = 600 − 2p
supply - q = 2p − 400
Equilibrium price - 250
Equilibrium Quantity- 100
Use the equation Ps= Pd+ Tax to solve

Then, the government decides to impose a price ceiling at a price of Pc that is less than P. Which of the following statements is correct? 1. After the price ceiling is imposed, the quantity demanded is less than the quantity supplied on the market. 2. After the price ceiling is imposed, the quantity actually sold in the market is lower than it was before the price ceiling was imposed. 3. Producer surplus in the market increased after the price ceiling was imposed. 4. Since Pc is less than P, the price ceiling is effective and therefore, there is no deadweight loss in the market.arrow_forward
