Your local government is concerned about the lack of affordable apartments in the area. To combat the problem it proposes to set the legal maximum rent on 1 bedroom apartments at $300 per month. You are asked to confirm whether or not this policy will solve the problem. You estimate that the inverse market demand is: p equals 1200 minus 2 Upper Q and the inverse market supply is: p equals Upper Q. You argue that this policy will cause an ▼ excess supply excess demand of nothing units per month (enter your answer as a whole number). Further, you calculate that some consumers would be willing to pay as much as $ nothing a month for an apartment (round your answer to the nearest penny). You conclude that there will be a deadweight loss of $ nothing per month (round your answer to the nearest penny and enter the deadweight loss as a positive number). You add that your calculation of the welfare loss ▼ overestimates underestimates the actual loss.

6. why the aggregate supply curve slopes upward in the short run in the short run, the quantity of output that firms supply can deviate from the natural level of output if the actual price level in the economy deviates from the expected price level. several theories explain how this might happen. for example, the misperceptions theory asserts that changes in the price level can temporarily mislead firms about what is happening to their output prices. consider a soybean farmer who expects a price level of 100 in the coming year. if the actual price level turns out to be 90, soybean prices will , and if the farmer mistakenly assumes that the price of soybeans declined relative to other prices of goods and services, she will respond by the quantity of soybeans supplied. if other producers in this economy mistake changes in the price level for changes in their relative prices, the unexpected decrease in the price level causes the quantity of output supplied to the natural level of output in the short run.
