For the last 85 years, the u. S. Government has used price supports to provide income assistance to american farmers. To implement these price supports, at times, the government has used price floors, which it maintains by buying up the surplus farm products. At other times, it has used target prices, a policy by which the government gives the farmer an amount equal to the difference between the market price and the target price for each unit sold. Consider the market for corn depicted in the accompanying diagram. B. Suppose the government sets a target price of $5 per bushel for any quantity supplied up to 1,000 bushels. How many bushels of corn are purchased by consumers and at what price? by the government? how much does the program cost the government? how much revenue do corn farmers receive?.
