Suppose that King Kanuta from demands that each of his subjects give him 4 coconuts for every coconut that they consume.The king puts all of the coconuts that he collects in a large pile and burns them.The supply of coconuts is given by S(ps)= 100ps, where ps is the price received by suppliers.The demand for coconuts by the king's subjects is given by D(pd)= 2,080 - 100pd, where pd is the price paid by consumers.In equilibrium, the price received by suppliers will be

In a crowded city far away, the civic authorities decided that rents were too high.The long-run supply function of two-room rental apartments was given by q = 20 + 5p and the long-run demand function was given by q = 271 - 2p, where p is the rental rate in crowns per week.The authorities made it illegal to rent an apartment for more than 23 crowns per week.To avoid a housing shortage, the authorities agreed to pay landlords enough of a subsidy to make supply equal to demand.How much would the weekly subsidy per apartment have to be to eliminate excess demand at the ceiling price?
