The government decides to place a £25 per unit-subsidy on the sales of books.
The initial demand and supply curves for books in this country are
respectively:
Qd = 1000 – 2*P and Qs = 3*P + 500 where price in measured in Great British
Pounds per book.
a) What is the pre-subsidy equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity of
books? Illustrate demand and supply curves and the market equilibrium
in a diagram indicating the respective intercepts. What are Consumer
and Producer Surplus in this market?
b) How many books will be traded once the £25 subsidy is enacted? How
much will consumers pay per book? Illustrate the effects of the subsidy
on the equilibrium quantity and price of books in a diagram (you can use
the diagram drawn in part a)). What are Consumer and Producer
Surplus in this market with the subsidy in place
c) What is the change in consumer and producer surplus following the
introduction of this subsidy? Calculate the monetary value of these
changes and identify the respective…
Consider the following supply and demand curves:
Demand: Price = 50-3.5*Qd
Supply Price = 20+.5*Qs
Suppose now a 20 dollar subsidy was placed on consumers. Given this information, find the dead weight loss created by the subsidy
Based on the diagram below, if a $60 per-unit subsidy were implemented in this market, what would the effective price received by producers become? Enter your answer in whole dollars.

- Read the following scenario. Corn is a very valuable product for which the U.S. government routinely offers subsidies. With no price support, the equilibrium price for corn is $300 per ton and the equilibrium quantity is 500 million tons per year. Suppose that the government agrees to pay farmers $350 for every ton of corn they produce and can't sell in the market. According to the farmer's market supply curve, 600 million tons per year is supplied at the price of $350 a ton, so production should increase to this amount. However, domestic users of corn cut back their purchases. Only 450 million tons a year is demanded at the price of $350 a ton, and purchases decrease to this amount. Farmers continue to produce 500 million tons of corn per year, so because they produce a greater quantity of corn than domestic buyers are willing to purchase, something must be done with the surplus. To make the price support work, the government decides to buy the surplus. Step 2 Use the scenario to…arrow_forwardThe government decides that the sugar price support program is getting too expensive. It abandons the support price program and instead assigns a marketing quota to each sugar producer.

The proposal quickly drew controversy: some argued that the fee/tax would be passed along in higher prices to consumers, but the National Christmas Tree Association says no. How does the answer to this question depend on the assumption about the price elasticity of demand? a. Consider two graphs of the market for Christmas trees. The supply curve in each market is assumed to be the same. In the left graph, assume the price elasticity of demand is relatively inelastic and in the right graph, assume the price elasticity of demand is relatively elastic. Add labels on your diagram to identify the equilibrium price and quantity of trees before the tax. b. Now, suppose retailers are assessed a tax of amount for each tree sold.…arrow_forward
