Question

Consider the market for wheat where demand is given by: $Q^d = 100 - 1p$ and supply is given by: $Q^s = 10 + 2p$. Now suppose that, due to a market failure (an artificial shipping constraint), a maximum of 65.00 units of wheat can be supplied by firms in the market. The amount of the deadweight loss caused by the market failure is $ \boxed{} (Enter your answer rounded to the nearest penny and as a positive number.)

Step 1

To find the equilibrium price and quantity, we need to set the demand equal to the supply: Qa = Qs 100 - 1p = 10 + 2p Rearranging the equation: 3p = 90 p = 30 Substituting the equilibrium price back into either the demand or supply equation to find the Show more…
