The graph below represents the housing market in a small city. The city is considering establishing a rent control in this market, such that the rent for an apartment may not exceed $500 per month. Present a standard welfare analysis table of the loss to society from moving from a housing rental market with no rent control, to one with a rent ceiling of $500. In your table, be sure to indicate consumer and producer surplus before and after the rent-control policy goes into effect; then determine the change in each, as well as the overall deadweight loss. 1250 A 1000 (dollars per manth)

Suppose the rent control (price ceiling) in California will be nullified for a year and that market rents will now be institutionalized. Assume that all apartment units are of identical structure and so are offered at the same rent. To address the plight of the residents, especially those who may be unable to pay the market rent, an income subsidy will be given to all low-income households equal to the difference between the old controlled rent and the new market rent. Use another diagram to show the additional effect of the income subsidy on the apartment market. What effect does it have on the market rental and quantity of apartments supplied in comparison to your answers to

The graph on the right shows the willingness to pay of two consumers, Annie and Ben. We can determine from the graph that when the market price PM = $27, Annie's consumer surplus is and Ben's is Assuming the shaded region consists of the total market consumer surplus, then its value is $.

Use the following information to answer Questions 1 - 4: In a competitive market for fresh lemonade, the market demand for 12-ounce servings is QD = 100 – 10P and the market supply is QS = 15P. Calculate the competitive market equilibrium price. Calculate the competitive market equilibrium quantity. Calculate Total Surplus at the competitive market equilibrium. Now suppose that the production of lemonade caused a costly negative externality on innocent bystanders (e.g., squirted acidic lemon juice in their eyes). Given the externality, would the unregulated market price of lemonade from 1 be efficient? If not, is it too high o too low?
= 150 - 10PD, 2-4 Suppose the annual demand for cotton is given by the demand curve QD and the supply is Qs = 10Ps - 50. Now U.S. government decide to impose a subsidy for farmers of $2 per pound. Please show all your calculation and draw graph clearly with labeled areas. a) Find the producer and consumer surplus if there is no subsidy. b) Find what subsidy has changed the producer and consumer surplus, and is there any government surplus and deadweight loss? Why? c) Would there be any difference if the government decide to give subsidy to buyers? Explain with the graphs of comparing price, quantity, producer and consumer surplus, government surplus and deadweight loss.
(a) Show the market for housing in equilibrium on a diagram, where demand is less elastic than supply, andlabel the respective consumer and producer surpluses. Discuss whether this market is Pareto efficient. (b) Assume that the State Government imposes a per-unit tax on the sellers of houses. A new diagram,shows the imposition of this tax on the market for housing. Does the imposition of this tax cause a Paretoimprovement to the market, explain? (c) Is the tax imposed in part (b) effective for the collection of Government revenue? Justify your answer withreference to your diagram in part (b).
Please don't provide handwritten solution.... In May 1991, Car and Driver described a Jaguar that sold for 980,000 dollars. Suppose that at that price only 45 have been sold. If it is estimated that 375 could have been sold if the price had been 530,000 dollars. Assuming that the demand curve is a straight line, and that 530,000 dollars and 375 are the equilibrium price and quantity, find the consumer surplus at the equilibrium price

This question is asking you to analyze the welfare effects of a tax on producers. Assume that theoriginal equilibrium was the perfectly competitive equilibrium and that the tax was imposed on producersafterward.a) Use a graph to illustrate the equilibrium price, equilibrium quantity, consumer surplus and producersurplus for the perfectly competitive market for commodity x (without the tax on producers). Using another graph, transcribe the relevant parts
Suppose the demand and the supply for lumber (harvested wood processed in a sawmill) used for construction in Australia are given byQD =100 – 2PQS = 1/2PAssume also that the market is perfectly competitive. the government introduces a subsidy of s=5 per unit of lumber transacted in the market. Calculate the new equilibrium quantity and the price paid by consumers and received by producers.9. Given the subsidy, calculate and illustrate in a graph the consumer surplus, producer surplus and subsidy expenditure.10. Calculate the deadweight loss caused by the subsidy and illustrate it in a graph. 11. Who benefits more from the subsidy, consumers or producers? Why?
