7. Suppose that the market for corn is initially in equilibrium and is perfectly competitive. The demand curve can be expressed as P = 10 - Qᵈ; the supply curve is P = 0.25Qᵗ. Quantity is expressed in millions of bushels. Now suppose that the federal government imposes a price floor of $3 per bushel of corn. Answer the following questions: (a) \((3\%)\) What is the size of the surplus created by the price floor?

(b)(3%) Assuming the most efficient producers are active, what's the deadweight loss due to the price floor?

(c)(6%) Assuming the least efficient producers are active, what's the producer surplus (PS) under the price floor? What's the deadweight loss due to the price floor?

8. Consider a market of risk-averse decision makers, each with a utility function U = √I. Each decision maker has an income of $90,000, but faces the possibility of a catastrophic loss of $50,000 in income. Each decision maker can purchase an insurance policy that fully compensates her loss. This insurance policy has a cost of $11,600. Suppose each decision maker potentially has a different probability q of experiencing the loss. (6%) What is the smallest value of q so that a decision maker purchases insurance?
