If the government agreed to purchase the surplus output and introduced a guaranteed price floor of $40, then most likely the government <span>'s total support payments to producers would be $4000 per week. We have a 180 quantity demanded and we have 280 quantity supplied, we will get the surplus by subtracting the supply by demand. So, 280 - 180 = 100 x price of 40 = 4000.</span>
<u>Solution:</u>
The price per variable unit is set at 1.5 times the cost; the VC / unit is estimated at $2.50.
Price = 2.5 * 2.50 = $6.25
Variable cost = $2.50
Fixed cost = $220,000
Break-Even Volume = Fixed cost / (Price - Variable cost)
= $220.000 / (6.25 - 2.50)
Break-Even Volume = 58,667 units

Answer:
B. The demand is more elastic than supply .
Explanation:
Demand & supply are buyers & sellers ability , willingness to buy & sell respectively .
Elasticity means responsiveness of demand & supply to prices.
'Tax burden' can be forwarded / shared only in case of Indirect taxes , whose burden & incidence lie on different people.
The burden falls on the party (consumers / suppliers) whose market element (demand / supply) is inelastic i.e less responsive to prices.
So , if sellers are bearing larger burden : It means demand is relatively elastic & supply is relatively inelastic.
