We know that the market demand equation for gasoline is Qd = 80 - P, and the market supply equation for gasoline is Qs = 20 + 4P. Suppose that due to natural resource constraints or government regulation, the market supply of gasoline cannot exceed 40. Whats is the new market equilibrium price?
A. Q = 80
B. Q = 40
C. Q = 58
D. Q = 68
Correct Answer:
B. P = $40 (Q should be replaced by P in the given alternative)
Working note:
Since market supply cannot exceed 40 units,
Then,
Qd = 40 = 80-P
P = 80-40
P = $40
So, new equilibrium price is $40.

1 Suppose the demand for shoes is given by: QD= 210 -2P. The supply of shoes is given by: QS= 9P -120. Calculate the Gains from Trade (also known as Economic Surplus) that would exist in this market in a competitive equilibrium. 2 Suppose the demand for jackets was given by: QD= 140 -0.4P. The supply of jackets is given by: QS= 4P -80. Suppose the price was $49 per jacket. Calculate whether there is a surplus or shortage of...

Consider the market for wheat where demand is given by: Qd=80-4p and supply is given by: Qs=50+1p Now suppose that, due to a market failure (an artificial shipping constraint), a maximum of 46 units of wheat can be supplied by firms in the market. Calculate the amount of deadweight loss caused by the marker failure. (Round answer to the nearest penny and as a positive number).

Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity, consumer surplus, and producer surplus in the market for tires. Graph your results. b. Suppose the government imposes a tax on tire producers of $3 per tire. i. What price will the buyer pay? What is the burden to consumers? What amount per unit will the seller receive? What is the...
Suppose that the market demand and supply equations in a perfectly competitive market are QD = 16 − 4P and QS = −2 + 2P, respectively. What is the full economic price if the government imposes a price ceiling of $2?
A market is described by the following supply and demand curves: Qs = 3P Qd = 400-P The equilibrium price is S and the equilibrium quantity is Suppose the government imposes a price ceiling of $80. This price ceiling is , and the market price will be supplied will be . and the quantity demanded will be . Therefore, a price calling of $60 will result in the quantity the quantity Suppose the government imposes a price floor of $80....
The demand curve for a good is QD=24–4P, and its supply curve is QS=P+1. The market is in equilibrium, then the government provides a subsidy to producers of the good. The subsidy is represented as a new supply curve of QS=P+3. What is the dollar amount of the producer subsidy per unit
