(a) what is the free market outcome (price and quantity)? What is the overall surplus?
(b) Now assume farmers “need” a price of P=60 and the government were to buy the quantity needed to reach this price. Calculate the new quantity and price? What is the governments expenditure? Calculate the deadweight loss of this policy.
