The figure below shows the market for apartments in downtown Rochester.
a) Suppose a rent ceiling of $600 is imposed. What is the quantity of apartments supplied after the rent ceiling?
b) What is the quantity of apartments demanded after the rent ceiling is imposed?
c) What is the change in producer surplus?
d) What is the change in consumer surplus?
e) The deadweight loss from the policy is
f) Suppose instead the rent ceiling is set at $1,500. The deadweight loss from the policy is
Homework Answers
a) If rent ceiling is put at $600, the quantity of appartments supplied after the rent ceiling is 40.
b) The quantity of appartments demanded after the rent ceiling is imposed is 120.
c) Change in Producer Surplus= {0.5(600–0)×40}–{0.5(1200–0)×80} = –$36000
d) Change in Consumers Surplus={ 0.5×(2700)×40}–0.5×(2100–1200)×80= $18000
e) Deadweight Loss= 0.5(1800–600)×40= $24000
f) Price ceiling is set above Equilibrium price. Hence, it is a non binding price ceiling. Therefore, Deadweight Loss would be zero when the rent ceiling is set at $1500.

Assume that prior to the price ceiling the equilibrium price for rents was $900 - P2. However, he imposes the rent ceiling of $600 - P1. Georgia Southern University authorities have argued against this rent ceiling because they expect this to cause a black market rental rate to rise to $$1,100 = P3.

A rent ceiling
The graph below shows a market for rental housing. Suppose the
city government implements a rent ceiling at $600 per month.
In the scenario above, if in addition to the explicit legal
price tenants pay the full potential implicit opportunity costs of
time and trouble associated with the rent ceiling, their loss
resulting from the rent control is $_____ million?
In the scenario above, if tenants pay the full economic price of
an apartment, what is the...

Suppose that in 2002 the market for rented apartments in Manhattan has the following supply and demand curves: Q 4000-P 1000+4P where P is the monthly rent. What is the equilibrium price (rent) for an apartment? How many apartments are built and rented out? Now suppose the government imposes rent control, ruling that rents may not rise above $500. What is the excess demand (shortage) of apartments? What is the total deadweight loss (in dollars)? In 2003 the population of...
