The Delhi government's directive to cap the cost of laboratory tests for dengue has upset owners of private hospitals and diagnostic clinics. According to the directive, private healthcare establishments can charge a maximum of Rs 600 for NS1 antigen and dengue antibody tests. Platelet count tests should cost no more than Rs 50.

Accusing the government of announcing the figure without taking them into confidence, the private players maintain that the cap is 'unrealistic' since it does not cover even the cost of raw material used. They say they are not being provided with extraction kits and other agents used for laboratory examination on subsidized prices.

Meanwhile, dengue has assumed an epidemic proportion with 1,900 cases and 16 confirmed deaths reported till September 17. Private laboratories are currently charging anywhere between Rs 900 and Rs 2000 for the dengue test while checking platelet count costs about Rs 200.

Suppose that the (short-run) demand and supply of dengue tests in Delhi is as given below:

Demand: P = 2600 - 0.001Q

Supply: P = 200 + 0.001Q

where P is the price in Rupees/test, and Q is quantity measured in number of tests per month.

Then consider the imposition of a price ceiling of 600 Rupees/test. Which of the following statements is/are true?

Which of the following statements is true?

(There may be more than one correct answer.)

Group of answer choices

The deadweight loss from the price ceiling would be larger if demand were more inelastic (around the equilibrium point prior to the price-ceiling)

The deadweight loss from the price ceiling would be larger if supply were more inelastic (around the equilibrium point prior to the price-ceiling)

The deadweight loss from the price ceiling would be larger if supply were more elastic (around the equilibrium point prior to the price-ceiling)

Deadweight loss would be zero if supply were perfectly inelastic (around the equilibrium point prior to the price ceiling)
