12. Disequilibrium - Price ceilings The following graph shows the annual market for Florida oranges, which are sold in units of 90-pound boxes. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly. Graph Input Tool Market for Florida Oranges Price (Dollars per box) 15 Quantity Demanded (Millions of boxes) 500 Quantity Supplied (Millions of boxes) 210 In this market, the equilibrium price is $ per box, and the equilibrium quantity of oranges is million boxes. For each price listed in the following table, determine the quantity of oranges demanded, the quantity of oranges supplied, and the direction of pressure exerted on prices in the absence of any price controls. Price (Dollars per box) Quantity Demanded (Millions of boxes) Quantity Supplied (Millions of boxes) Pressure on Prices 30 20 True or False: A price ceiling above $25 per box is a binding price ceiling in this market. (Economists call a price ceiling that prevents the market from reaching equilibrium a binding price ceiling.) True False Because it takes many years before newly planted orange trees bear fruit, the supply curve in the short run is almost vertical. In the long run, farmers can decide whether to plant oranges on their land, to plant something else, or to sell their land altogether. Therefore, the long-run supply of oranges is much more price sensitive than the short-run supply of oranges. Assuming that the long-run demand for oranges is the same as the short-run demand, you would expect a binding price ceiling to result in a that is in the long run than in the short run.

The following graph shows the annual market for Michigan blueberries, which are sold in units of 50-pound boxes. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly. In this market, the equilibrium price is per box, and the equilibrium quantity of blueberries is million boxes. For each of the prices listed in the following table, determine the quantity of blueberries demanded, the quantity of blueberries supplied, and the direction of pressure exerted on prices in the absence of any price controls. Price Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied Pressure on Prices (Dollars per box) (Millions of boxes) (Millions of boxes) 35 15 True or False: A price ceiling below $25 per box is a binding price ceiling in this market. True False Because it takes six to eight years before newly planted blueberry plants reach full production, the supply curve in the short run is almost vertical. In the long run, farmers can decide whether to plant blueberries on their land, to plant something else, or to sell their land altogether. Therefore, the long-run supply of blueberries is much more price sensitive than the short-run supply of blueberries. Assuming that the long-run demand for blueberries is the same as the short-run demand, you would expect a binding price ceiling to result in a that is in the long run than in the short run.
Which of the following statement is true about binding price ceiling? a) The shortage created by the price ceiling is greater in the short run compared to long run. (b) The surplus created by the price ceiling is greater in the short run compared to long run . (c) The shortage created by the price ceiling is greater in the long run compared to short run. (d) The surplus created by the price ceiling is greater in the long run compared to short run.
