Consider a market characterized by the following inverse demand and supply functions: PX = 30 – 3QX and PX = 10 + 2QX. Compute the surplus consumers receive when a $24 per unit price floor is imposed on the market.
B.A.$0.
$12.
C.$24.
D.$6.
Solution
D.$6.
Explanation:
Before price floor, equilibrium price was $18 and quantity was 4 units and maximum price is $30
The CS = (30-18) *4 /2 = $24
Before price floor of $24
CS = (30-24 *2 /2 = $6
