Answer:
Price Floor led Excess Supply can be solved by : Preserving goods Buffer Stock ; or processing goods to increase their shelf life (in case of perishable goods like Milk)
Explanation:
Unregulated markets are at equilibrium where : market demand , market supply are equal ; and downward sloping demand curve , upward sloping supply curve intersect.
Price Floor is minimum mandated price set by government, below which a good can't be sold in the market. It is usually set above equilibrium price, to protect interest of sellers. Example : Minimum Support Price as minimum agricultural goods price to protect interest of farmers, Given Milk Price floor case.
Price Floor creates artificially higher prices ; so increases supply, decreases supply & hence creates Excess Supply. Government can solve this excess supply by preserving stock supply for contingent times , eg - maintaining buffer stock. If the good is of perishable nature, as given milk case : it should be processed further to increase its shelf life, eg - cheese, such that the stock supply can be released at a slower pace.
<u>Calculation of Total Assets:</u>
Total assets based on the given transactions can be calculated as follows:
Cash Received from Investors $6,900
Add: Amount Borrowed from Local Bank $3,900
Add: Supplies Purchased on account $1,190
Add: Equipment purchased $6,900
Less: Cash Paid for purchase of equipment -$2,190
Total Assets = $16,700
Hence based on the given transactions, the company's total assets are <u>$16,700</u>
