Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": shortages.

Explanation:

Price ceilings are price limits imposed by the government to avoid producers increasing the price of goods that can be considered as basic or necessary. Then, the price ceiling will increase the demand for those goods but not the supply. Under this scenario, there will be a shortage of that product because of the excess in demand over supply.

sammy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A point on U=800 is (5, 16)

From BL:

400*F+100D =4000

400*5+100*16 =3600<4000

Therefore u = 800 affordable.

U= 1200

F = 1200/10D

If D = 20

F = 1200/200

=6

Now from BL:

400*6+100*20= 2400+2000=4400>4000

Not affordable.

Maximization:

L = 10DF+ʎ[100*D+400*F – 4000]

Differentiating wrt D and F:

dL/dD = 10F + ʎ*100

dL/dF = 10D +ʎ*400

equating to zero;                      

ʎ= -F/10

ʎ=-D/40

equating the two:

F/10=D/40

D = 4F

From BL:

400*F+100*D = 4000

400F+100*4F = 4000

800F = 4000

F = 5

D = 4*5=20
