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

Kamila [148]

Jan. 1, 2013:
Initial investment = (100 shares)*($30/share) = $3,000.

End of 2013:
Dividend collected = ($2/share)*(100 shares) = $200

End of 2014:
Dividend collected = ($3/share)*(100 shares) = $300

End of 2015:
Dividend collected = ($4/share)*(100 shares) = $400

Returns::
From sales of 100 shares = ($33/share)*(100 shares) = $3,300
From dividends = 200 + 300 + 400 = $900
Total returns = 3,300 + 900 = $4,200

Realized returns = Total returns - Initial inestment
= 4200 - 3000
= $1,200

In the late 1970s Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker contracted the money supply to reduce the rate of inflation. One result

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer: to increase interest rates which reduced aggregate demand.

Explanation:

Since the money supply was contracted to reduce the rate of inflation, this will lead to increase interest rates which reduced aggregate demand.

In this case as a result of the increase in the interest rate, people will prefer to save their money in the banks and thus will result in less money in circulation which ultimately reduces the demand for goods and services.
