Determine the quantity demanded, the quantity supplied, and the magnitude of the surplus if a price floor of $50 is imposed in this market. Determine the quantity demanded, the quantity supplied, and the magnitude of the shortage if a price ceiling of $32 is imposed in this market. Also determine the full economic price paid by consumers. a. b. c. Slide 47 of 56 Notes 45 46 48 49

Explanation / Answer

Equiliibrium achieved when

Qd=Qs

60-P=P-20

P=40 and Q=20

Answer for B)

IF Price set at 50

then Q=50-20=30 (Quantity Supplied)

Q=60-P =10 (Quantity Demanded)

SUrplus before this change

1/2(60-40)*20=200

Surplus after this change

1/2(60-50)*10=50

Decrease in surplus by 200-50=150

Answer for Part C)

If Price imposed is $32

Q=60-P=60-32=28

Q=P-20=12

We have an excess demand =28-12=16 (shortage)
