A low-income country decides to set a price ceiling on bread so it can make sure that bread is affordable to the poor. Table 3.11 provides the conditions of demand and supply. What are the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity before the price ceiling? What will the excess demand or the shortage (that is, quantity demanded minus quantity supplied) be if the price ceiling is set at \(2.40? At \)2.00? At $3.60?
Can you propose a policy that would induce the market to supply more rental housing units?
How does one analyze a market where both
demand and supply shift?
Table 3.10 shows the supply and demand for movie tickets in a city. Graph demand and supply and identify the equilibrium. Then calculate in a table and graph the effect of the following two changes.
a. Three new nightclubs are open. They offer decent bands and have no cover charge, but make their money by selling food and drink. As a result, demand for movie tickets falls by six units at every price.
b. The city eliminates a tax that is placed on all local entertainment businesses. The result is that the quantity supplied of movies at any given price increases by 10%.
Review Figure 3.4 again. Suppose the price of gasoline is \(1.00. Will the quantity demanded to be lower or higher than at the equilibrium price of \)1.40 per gallon? Will the quantity supplied be lower or higher? Is there a shortage or a surplus in the market? If so, of how much?
