Suppose the market for corn is given by the following equations for supply and demand: QS = 2p − 2 QD = 13 − p

Suppose the market for corn is given by the following equations for supply and demand: QS = 2p − 2 QD = 13 − p where Q is the quantity in millions of bushels per year and p is the price. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity. Sketch the supply and demand curves on a graph indicating the equilibrium quantity and price. Calculate the price-elasticity of demand and supply at the equilibrium price/quantity. The government judges the...

A market is described by the following supply-and-demand curves: QS = 2P QD = 300−P The equilibrium price is_______and the equilibrium quantity is________. Suppose the government imposes a price ceiling of $90. This price ceiling is [binding/not binding], and the market price will be______. The quantity supplied will be ______ , and the quantity demanded will be_______. Therefore, a price ceiling of $90 will result in [a shortage/ a surplus/ neither a shortage nor surplus]. Suppose the government imposes a...

QD=40-2P and QS=P-8 represent market demand and supply functions for a good. If each unit of the good produced involves external costs of $4 (i.e. MEC=4), then (a) what amount of good is produced in the market equilibrium? (b) What are marginal social benefits(MSB) and marginal social costs (MSC) at the market equilibrium quantity?

Suppose the demand function for corn is Qd = 10-2p, and supply function is Qs =...

Suppose the demand function for corn is Qd = 10-2p, and supply function is Qs = 3p-5. The government is concerned that the market equilibrium price of corn is too low and would like to implement a price support policy to protect the farmers. By implementing the price support policy, the government sets a support price and purchases the extra supply at the support price and then gives it away to the consumers free. The government sets the support price...

The demand and supply equations for a product are given by QD = 20-P QS = -10 +2P

The demand and supply equations for a product are given by QD = 20-P QS = -10 +2P 1. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity. 2. Calculate the price elasticity of demand and the price elasticity of supply at the above equilibrium point. 3. An excise tax of $1 per unit is imposed on the producers of the product. Calculate the new equilibrium price and quantity. Calculate the consumer and producer tax burden ( as a percentage of...

Consider the following market demand and supply functions: Qd = 14 - p Qs = -6 + p a) Calculate the perfectly competitive equilibrium price, quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus. b) If an output tax t = 2 is imposed on consumers, calculate the new price, quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus. What is the deadweight loss? Total taxes collected? (Note: an output tax shifts the demand curve intercept downward by the amount of the...
