diagram. Consider a perfectly competitive market in which the market demand curve is given by Q d = 20 2P d and the market supply curve is given by Q s = 2P s : (a) Find the equilibrium price and quantity in the absence of government intervention. (b) Suppose the government imposes a price ceiling of $3 per unit. How much is supplied? (c) Suppose, as an alternative, the government imposes a production quota limiting the quantity supplied to six units. What is the market price under this type of intervention? Is the quantity supplied under the price ceiling greater than, less than, or the same as the quantity under the production quota? Explain. (d) Assuming that under price controls rationing is as efficient as possible and under the quota the allocation is as efficient as possible, under which programme is the deadweight loss larger, the price ceiling or the production quota? Explain. (Hint: as efficient as possible rationing means that the good is sold to the consumers with the highest valuation. As efficient as possible allocation means that the good is produced by the firms with the lowest cost.) (e) Assuming that under price controls rationing is as inefficient as possible and under the quota the allocation is as inefficient as possible, under which programme is the deadweight loss larger, the price ceiling or the production quota? Explain. (Hint: as inefficient as possible allocation means that the good goes to the consumers with the lowest valuation. As inefficient as possible allocation means that the good is produced by the firms with the highest cost.

I only need part e, with graph.
