  4. Target Price (Case #2) • Set above competitive equilibrium • Gov. Cost = (TP-MP)*QS $ S TP Deficiency Payments P 1 MP D QS=QD Q/yr q 1 No CCC stocks

  5. Target Price (Case #2a) • Another way to look at this • Supply curve vertical until above target price $ S TP Deficiency Payments MP D Q/yr QS=QD

  6. Target Price & Non-Recourse Loan (Case #1) • Both set above competitive equilibrium $ S TP Deficiency Payments MP=LR D Qd Qs Q/yr CCC stocks

  7. Target Price & Marketing Loan (Case #2) • Both set above competitive equilibrium $ S TP Deficiency Payments LR Loan Gains or Benefits MP D Q/yr QS=QD

  8. Target Price & Loan Rate (Case #3) • Target price set above competitive equilibrium and loan rate below market price $ S TP Deficiency Payments MP LR D Q/yr QS=QD

  9. Target Price & Loan Rate (Case #4) • Both set below competitive equilibrium • What are the impacts? $ S MP TP LR D Q/yr QS=QD

  13. Adding a Target Price to a Price Support • Add a Target Price • Above LR • Don’t change LR • Result? • More supply • More Stocks • So LR needs to be lower, but that can be politically difficult $ S TP Deficiency Payments MP=LR TD D Qd Q/yr Qs Qs CCC stocks Larger stocks

  14. Adding a Target Price to a Price Support • Lower LR • Lowers MP • Adds Exports • Reduces Stocks $ S TP Deficiency Payments MP=LR TD D Qd QT Qs Q/yr CCC stocks Exports

  15. Adding a Target Price to a Price Support • Ineffective LR • No Stocks • More exports • What happens if we increase the target price? $ S TP Deficiency Payments MP LR TD D Qd Q/yr Qs Exports

  16. Target Price Terminology • Base Acres Average planted acres over a number of years • Farm Program Yield (FPY) Average yield proven over a number of years • Deficiency Payment Rate (DPR) Target Price – Market Price (in current year) • Deficiency Payment = DPR * Base * FPY
