The wheat market is perfectly competitive, and the market supply and demand curves are given by the following equations: QD = 20,000,000 - 4,000,000P QS = 7,000,000 + 2,500,000P, where QD and QS are quantity demanded and quantity supplied measured in bushels, and P = price per bushel. a. Determine consumer surplus at the equilibrium price and quantity. b. Assume that the government has imposed a price floor at $2.25 per bushel and agrees to buy any resulting excess supply. How many bushels of wheat...

4. Suppose the market for grass seed can be expressed as: Demand: Qd = 200 - 5P Supply: Qs = 40 + 5P If the government collects a $5 specific tax from sellers (here you can change the supply equation to Qs = 40 + 5(P-t) or Qs = 15+ 5P, How much will the quantity demanded change from the amount demanded before the tax? What price will consumers pay after the tax? What price will sellers receive after the...

1. The demand and supply functions for wheat are as follows: QDw = 4.5 – 0.4 P Qsw = 1.5 + 0.6 P, where Qsw is the quantity supplied of wheat (in billions of bushels), QDx is the quantity demanded of wheat (in billions of bushels), and Pw is the farm price of wheat (in dollars per bushel) What is the equilibrium price of wheat? A. $8 per bushel. B. $6 per bushel. C. $5 per bushel. D....

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 a small open economy. Suppose the market for corn in Banana Republic is competitive. The domestic market demand function for corn is Qd = 10 − 0.5P and the domestic market supply function is Qs = P − 2, both measured in billions of bushels per year. Also assume the import supply curve is infinitely elastic at a price of $4 per bushel. Suppose the government impose an import quota such that the domestic equilibrium price is P Q...
