Suppose the demand for soybeans is ?(?) = 1100 − 20? and the supply for soybeans is ?(?) = 100 + 30?, where Q is billions of bushels of soybean per year and P is the price per bushel.
Now suppose that the government supports a price of $30 using a deficiency payment program. 1C: What quantity will producers supply to the market?
1E: What is the change in consumer surplus under this policy?
1F: What is the change in producer surplus under this policy?
