1. Problems and Applications Q1 Suppose the demand for classical music concert tickets is downward sloping and the supply of classical music concert tickets is upward sloping. Lovers of classical music persuade Congress to impose a price ceiling of $40 per concert ticket. True or False: If the equilibrium price of concert tickets were $30, a price ceiling of $40 will cause more people to attend classical music concerts than if there is no price control. True False

As the ceiling of 40 dollar is above the equilibrium it will have no bidding It will have no impact the agents (musician offering the concerts and attendants) will not be affected for the policy.

Only when teh market equilibrium price increase as above this level it will be biddding and generate a contraction of the supply as their will not provide for 40 dollar when the market price is above this amount.
