he market equilibrium price for lettuce is $2 per pound. The market equilibrium quantity for lettuce is 30,000 pounds of lettuce. The government decideds to impose a price floor of $3 per pound of lettuce. After the price floor is imposed, the quantity of lettuce supplied will be _____ 30,000 pounds and the quantity of lettuce demanded will be ______ 30,000. The price floor causes a ____ in the market for lettuce. greater than less than surplus equal to shortage
Suppose 1000units of product A are produced by XYZ limited but the quantity demanded for the product is 2000units. All other things remaining constant,a $18 change in price of product A results in a change in quantity demanded and supplied of 6 and 9 respectively.XYZ has a work force of 500 people who pay an income tax of $200 each to the government. 1.Calculate the new equilibrium price and quantity,suppose the government introduces a subsidy of $10 on each unit of product A.
The demand and supply for corn is given by D=1000-P and S=3P repsectively. 14) To stabilize corn prices, the government introduced a price floor of $260 and a price ceiling of $380. What will the equilibrium production and consumption levels be? By how much will the consumer surplus change? By how much will the producer surplus change? 15) If the government wants to have the consumption of corn to be 700 units, can it achieve its goal by imposing a per-unit tax on producers or by providing a per-unit subsidy for producers? If yes, find the amount of such tax or subsidy. If not, show an alternative tax or subsidy strategy that can achieve the desired consumption level.
