Question

Under the target price system, wheat farmers are willing to produce______bushels at a target price of $1.75 per bushel, but consumers are willing to purchase this quantity of wheat at $____per bushel. The total deficiency payment the government makes to wheat farmers is. Suppose that the government implements a price support system by setting a price floor of $1.75 per bushel in the wheat market. Under the price support system, consumers purchase________bushels of wheat and the total amount the government pays to wheat farmers is. Which of the following statements comparing a price support system and a target price system is accurate? Check all that apply. Square Farmers earn the same amount of total revenue under both systems. Square Consumers pay a lower price under a target price system. Square There is no surplus under a target price system.

Explanation / Answer

At P = $ 1.75

Farmers are willing to produce Q = 70 according to supply curve

Consumers are willing to purchase Q = 70 according to Demand curve.

Total Deficiency = 70 x (1.75 - 0.75) => $ 70

Under Price support system,

Demand = 30

Government pay to farmers = ($ 70 - 30 ) x 1.75 = 70

All statements are true

Revenue = 70 in both cases

Consumer pay ont $ 0.75 under Price target sytem.

There is no surplus becasue demand is matched with supply
