Predatory lending inc. sells financial services (high interest micro loans) through independent agents. good agents generate $2,000 in net revenue in the first year, a figure that grows at 5% annually. poor agents, on the other hand, produce $1,000 in year one and 20% less revenue each successive year. there is no way to tell in advance whether an agent will be good or bad. in the past, about 40% of new agents have turned out to be good and 60% poor. of the good agents, 50% are loyal, they tend to like the work and remain with the company with a 90% probability year to year, and 50% are not loyal, they leave predatory lending and go to work for a competitor after the first year. similarly, 80% of the poor agents are loyal (i. e., the competition wouldn’t hire them) and have a 90% probability of staying with the firm year to year and 20% drop out after the first year and go back to school. (for simplicity, assume that revenues from agents that drop out in year one are not discounted.) given that recruiting and training costs are $5,000 per new agent:

Aprice ceiling is “binding” if the price ceiling is set below the equilibrium price. suppose that the equilibrium price is $5. if a price ceiling is set at $6, this will not affect the market in any way since $5 remains a legally allowable price (since $5 < $6). a price ceiling of $6 is called a “non-binding” price ceiling. on the other hand, if the price ceiling is set at $4, the price ceiling is “binding” because the natural equilibrium price is $5 but that is no longer allowed. what happens when there is a binding price ceiling? at a price below the equilibrium price, quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. there is a shortage. normally, price increases eliminate shortages by increasing quantity supplied and decreasing quantity demanded. in this case, however, price increases are not allowed past the price ceiling. we therefore predict that the observed market price will be right at the price ceiling and there will be a permanent shortage. the observed quantity bought and sold will be dictated by the quantity supplied at the price ceiling. although consumers would like to buy more, there are no more units for sale
