Suppose the equilibrium price for soccer tickets in a free market results in 15,000 tickets being purchased. Major League Soccer has decided to impose a price control of $19 per ticket. At a price of $19, soccer teams would be willing to supply 11000 tickets. At this price, consumers are willing to purchase 25500 tickets. Which of the following is a result of the price control?There will be a __ of ___ tickets
Recently, China placed tariffs on the importation of US soybeans. Assume that the domestic market for soybeans in China is described by the following equations:
Demand: P = 11.5 – Q Supply: P = 5.5 + Q
Price is in 10 Yuan (¥) per bushel of soybeans and the units for Quantity are 100 million bushels per year. This is to make graphing simpler. This does NOT mean that the price is 10 and quantity is 100. Rather it means that if the price was 40¥ and the quantity was 7,500,000,000 bushels, this would plot as 4 and 7.5 respectively.
The world price for soybeans is ¥65/bushel (this would graph as 6.5). Graph the soybean market in China showing equilibrium both with no barriers to trade and with a ¥15/bushel tariff. Be sure to fully and clearly label the graph including: Domestic Demand curve (D), Domestic Supply curve (S), the World Price (WP), and the Price with tariffs (PT).
Based on your graph for question 3, what amount of soybeans will China import from the US if there are no…

- Example 2: In fall of 2011, the National Christmas Tree Association decided to impose a fee/tax of $0.15 per tree sold.² They claimed the tax revenue raised would fund a new marketing campaign for Christmas tree growers in response to growing plastic tree imports. The proposal quickly drew controversy: some argued that the fee/tax would be passed along in higher prices to consumers, but the National Christmas Tree Association says no. How does the answer to this question depend on the assumption about the price elasticity of demand? a. Consider two graphs of the market for Christmas trees. The supply curve in each market is assumed to be the same. In the left graph, assume the price elasticity of demand is relatively inelastic and in the right graph, assume the price elasticity of demand is relatively elastic. Add labels on your diagram to identify the equilibrium price and quantity of trees before the tax. b. Now, suppose retailers are assessed a tax of amount for each tree sold.…arrow_forwardA company is considering building a bridge across a river.

If the company is interested in maximizing profit, it (should , or should not)? build the bridge because profit would be .

A sports watch has a price-demand equation given by p= D(z) = 40-2-0174176a dollars, which gives the price per watch when a watches are demanded. The price-supply equation for the watch is given by p= S(x) = 0.6z+4 dollars, which gives the price per watch when z watches are supplied. If the equilibrium quantity is 11, find the consumers' surplus and the producers' surplus. The consumers' surplus is. (Your answer must begin with S.)
