Consider the market for gasoline. suppose that, in a competitive market without government regulations, the equilibrium price of gasoline is $3.00 per gallon, and employees at gas stations earn $17.50 per hour. complete the following table by indicating whether each of the statements is an example of a price ceiling or a price floor and whether it results in a shortage or a surplus or has no effect on the price and quantity that prevail in the market. statement price control effect the government has instituted a legal minimum price of $3.40 per gallon for gasoline. the government prohibits gas stations from selling gasoline for more than $3.40 per gallon. due to new regulations, gas stations that would like to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are prohibited from paying more than $14.50 per hour.

Assume a competitive firm faces a market price of $60, a cost curve of c = 0.003q^3 + 25q + 750, and a marginal cost of curve of: mc = 0.009q^2 + 25.the firm's profit maximizing output level (to the nearest tenth) is , and the profit (to the nearest penny) at this output level is $ will cause the market supply to (shift right/shift left). this will continue until the price is equal to the minimum average cost of $
