QUESTION 5 Suppose demand curve is given by P=1000-5Q and the supply curve is given by P = 5Q. If the government imposes a price ceiling of 279, calculate the resulting deadweight loss. Give your answer to 2 decimal places. QUESTION 6 Suppose the demand curve in a market is given by P 1000-5Q. Recall that the demand curve represents consumers' willingness to pay-for each quantity, the price on the demand curve is the maximum price at which the market will demand (at least) that quantity. If the government imposes a 20 dollar tax per unit on consumers, how much are consumers willing to pay to purchase 77 units?

Consider a competitive market for which the quantities demanded and supplied (per year) at various prices are given as follows: Price $ Demand mln Supply mln 60 22 14 80 20 16 100 18 18 120 16 20 Calculate the price elasticity of demand when the price is $80 and when the price is $100. Calculate the price elasticity of supply when the price is $80 and when the price is $100. What are the equilibrium price and quantity? Suppose the government sets a price ceiling of $80. Will there be a shortage or a surplus, and if so, how large will it be?
