Assume further that a good harvest impacts the world’s sugar cane crop. Sugar cane is a principal ingredient in rum, but it is not an ingredient in whiskey. Rum and whiskey are substitutes for consumption.
(i) Discuss the impact of the good harvest on each of the three markets.
(ii) Discuss the effect on the markets for each of the three products if the government implements a price restriction in the sugar cane market with the aim of protecting the farmers. How will this impact the revenues for sugar growers, rum producers, and whiskey producers?

A second policy choice is to interfere in the market, regulate prices, and prevent the price of goods such as corrugated steel roofing, gasoline, nails, water, food, etc. from rising. The argument frequently made to justify regulating prices is that owners of scarce goods are taking advantage of people in need----taking advantage of innocent people's misfortunes to steal their money and enrich themselves. This is immoral behaviour and should not be allowed. This second policy usually includes a reliance on government rather than the free market to bring in supplies of scarce goods and distribute them for free or at below market prices to alleviate shortages.arrow_forward
