- Set Price Ceiling during Festive Seasons, Good or Bad? Each year, during festive seasons, Malaysian Government will impose a price ceiling on some items like round cabbage, garlic, pomfret, shrimp, standard chicken, and chicken eggs. A seller will definitely increase the price of a product if the demand of that product is higher in order to increase profit. Thus, there is always the case when buyers will complain the prices are too high and sellers will say the prices are too low. This is when the Government will come into the picture and impose price controls to eliminate such dissatisfactions. If a price ceiling is set sellers will experience smaller profit margin. Hence, they will find a way to cover the loss by selling lower quality of these controlled items. This will not be beneficial to the buyers because they pay the amount and get a lower quality item in return. If the enforcement of price ceiling is loose, sellers will retain these controlled items, which are in higher…arrow_forwardThere is a price ceiling below the equilibrium price.

- The town council is contemplating the imposition of a R350 per month rent ceiling on apartment rooms in the town. An economist at the university estimates the demand and supply curves as: QD = 5600 - 8P QS = 500 + 4P, where P = monthly rent, and Q = number of apartments available for rent. For purposes of this analysis, apartments can be treated as identical. a) Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity that would prevail without the price ceiling.[1] b) Calculate producer and consumer surplus at this equilibrium.
