5. Suppose in the spring of 2023 the price of softwood lumber increases from $1.31 per board foot to $2.14 per board footand quantity demanded drops by 7.81% this would mean the _____% increase in price was __________ to make demand unit elastic. This would also mean that a tax lumber designed to pay for climate change research would impact producers __________________ than consumers and government would see __________ revenue from this tax. 48.12; not enough; less, raise 1.725; enough; Less, lower .1623; enough; More, greater 41.99; not enough; Less, greater Based on your answer to question #5 the price elasticity of demand for lumber equals_______ because: 1.725; there are insufficient substitutes for lumber in home building. 48.12; the percentage change in quantity demanded is less than the percentage change in price. .16; lumber is a necessity during a boom in housing production. .0761; the percentage of income it takes to buy lumber is small for home builders.
Question: What does McWilliams mean by "perverse" subsidies? Define and/or illustrate with an example. Draw a connection between perverse subsidies and the externalized costs (negative externalities) that we discussed in a previous module. ((This is the previous module: (Week 2: In an economic transaction between a producer and a consumer, an externalized cost or (negative) externality is a cost to someone who is not involved in the transaction. For example, the consumer doesn't pay for it, and the producer doesn't pay for it. Joel Salatin alludes to this concept when he talks about food that is not “honest.” List three externalized costs associated with food production (and consumption), and try to identify the third part(ies) likely to pay for each. Which cost on your list concerns you the most? This course benefits greatly from interaction and community building, so feel free to "like" and/or comment on your classmates' entries. For this discussion in particular, you may be better…

Don't use chatgpt and make sure you include the graphs needed (a) Suppose in a competitive market, the market demand curve for salt is infinitelyinelastic. What is the impact of a per-unit tax (i.e. a specific tax) on the priceof salt that consumers pay?(b) Suppose the demand curve for butter is Q = 50 − 3P and the supply curve isQ = 2P. Suppose the government announces a per-unit tax of 1 on the priceof butter. Tax on butter can be seen as a ’fat tax’. What is the overall effectof a fat tax on the consumers? (c) If you were a policymaker and wanted to promote a fat tax in the UK, whatwould you cover in your policy campaign?
