1. Consider the market for wheat in the United States. Suppose that the supply and demand curves in this unregulated competitive market are given by: P = 90 - 2*QD QS = 15 + 2.5*P a. What is the equilibrium price and quantity in this market? b. Sketch a graph of this market and label the consumer surplus and producer surplus. c. Calculate the consumer surplus and producer surplus. Now suppose that the government implements a price support of $12 per bushel. d. What is the private quantity demanded at a price of $12? e. What is the quantity supplied at a price of $12? f. How many bushels of wheat does the government have to buy? What is the government’s total expenditure on wheat? g. Sketch a graph of this market with the price ceiling and label the new consumer surplus and the new producer surplus. h. Calculate the new consumer surplus and the change in consumer surplus. i. Calculate the new producer surplus and the change in the producer surplus. j. Calculate the deadweight loss of this policy. 2. Consider yourself as a city planner. The Atlanta city is considering a proposal to award an exclusive contract to Comnocast (which is a monopolist) because of her fantastic internet service, as well as magnificent customer service! P = 150 – 2.5*Q TC = 200 + (1/3)*Q3 Use this information to answer the following questions: a. What are the marginal cost and marginal revenue? b. What price, quantity, and profit would be expected if Comnocast is allowed to operate without any government regulation? c. You are asked to recommend a price and quantity that would be socially efficient. Recommend a price and quantity to the city council using economic theory to justify your answer. d. Compare the economic efficiency implications of the answer to part (a) with the answer to part (b). Which equilibrium is better for society? Draw a graph illustrating the two equilibria and label the deadweight loss created by the less efficient equilibrium. 3. What is an example of a good that is neither causes/produces negative externalities nor positive (a neutral good)? Support your claim.

Suppose that the Fed suddenly and unexpectedly decreases the money supply in an effort to reduce inflation. As a result of this unanticipated action, actual inflation falls to 3%. On the above graph, use the black point (plus symbol labeled "B") to illustrate the short-run effects of this policy. Now, suppose that—after a period of 3% inflation—households and firms begin to expect that the inflation rate will continue to be 3%. On the above graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to draw SRPC2, the short-run Phillips curve that is consistent with these expectations, assuming that it is parallel to SRPC1. Finally, using the orange point (square symbol labeled "C"), indicate on the above graph the new long-run equilibrium for this economy.

Question #1: Suppose that an economy is in a recessionary gap. Using graphical analysis, explain from a Keynesian perspective how the economy can return to its long-run potential output using the AS/AD model. Be as detailed as possible. Your submission needs to be at least 175 words (two paragraphs). Please make sure to draw the graphical AS/AD model. Please submit a picture or file of your graph below your short answers into the textbox below. Please make sure that your image is NOT an HEIC or HEIF file. You should upload your image as a JPEG file or PNG file.
