According to the Italian economist Pareto, if I have 200 suppliers, how many suppliers can I expect will represent the majority of my spend?
The Reinheitsgebot is a set of laws established in the 1500s that regulate the production and sale
of beer in Germany. Among its provisions, the edict set maximum prices that brewers could
charge at various times of the year: During Oktoberfest, the price for one [Bavarian Liter] is not
to exceed one Pfennig (Penny, Munich value). Suppose that the demand for beer is given by
$QD = 6000-1600P, and the supply of beer is given by QS = -1000+2000P.
Calculate the consumer surplus received by beer drinkers and the producer surplus received by
beer producers after a 1-Pfennig price ceiling is imposed.
