Answer:

(a) The market equilibrium rent is $1,400 and the equilibrium quantity is 15 thousand apartments.

(b) With the price ceiling, the rent is $1,000 per apartment and the quantity rented is 10 thousand apartments.

Explanation:

(a) At equilibrium, demand function equals supply function

1700 - 20Q = 80Q + 200

1700 - 200 = 80Q + 20Q

100Q = 1500

Q = 1500/100 = 15

Substitute the value of Q in the demand function

P = 1700 - 20Q = 1700 - 20(15) = 1700 - 300 = 1400

Equilibrium rent = $1,400

Equilibrium quantity is 15 thousand apartments

(b) Rent with price ceiling is $1,000 per apartment

Substitute the value of P in the supply function

P = 80Q + 200

1000 = 80Q + 200

1000 - 200 = 80Q

80Q = 800

Q = 800/80 = 10

Quantity rented is 10 thousand apartments

P = 1000

Q = (1700 - 1000)/20 = 700/20 = 35

Excess demand = 35 - 15 = 20

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Desired profit= $250,000

Sales price is $9

Unitary variable cost= $8

Total fixed costs are $200000

To determine the number of units required, we need to use the break-even point formula, including the desired profit.

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (200,000 + 250,000) / ( 9 - 8)

Break-even point in units= 450,000 units
