The inverse demand for table salt is p = 200qd+1 , while the inverse supply of table salt is p = 10+ 2qs. a. Find the equilibrium price of table salt before AND after the imposition of a 40% ad valorem tax on the consumers of table salt. b. Describe the distribution of the burden (incidence) of this ad valorem tax between consumers and producers. c. Find and interpret the price elasticity of supply (es) at the after-tax equilibrium price and quantity.
Suppose the government uses the following equation to compute a family’s tax liability: Taxes OwedTaxes Owed = = (1/3 of Income)−$8,0001/3 of Income−$8,000 For each of the incomes listed in the following table, determine the tax liability for a family with that income level. (Note: If a family receives a subsidy because its income is too low, be sure to indicate the tax liability as negative.) Income Tax Liability (Dollars per year) (Dollars per year) 0 12,000 24,000 60,000 True or False: If a family is currently receiving a tax credit, the credit is reduced by $0.25 for each additional dollar earned until the family reaches an income of $24,000 and the credit becomes $0. True False

Redo the above questions and compare the results thanks in advance
Consider an ad-valorem tax on a good X. The Demand for good X is constant elasticity with elasticity -2. The Supply for good Y is constant elasticity with elasticity 3. What is the incidence of the tax? Provide a fraction that shows the ratio of the tax burden that falls on the supply side relative to the demand side.
When the price is 10 TL for each pack of cookies, the supply is 250 thousand and the demand is 120 thousand boxes. When the price is 9,5 TL for each pack of cookies, the supply is 200 thousand and the demand is 240 thousand boxes. Since the price-demand and supply-demand equations are linear; Calculate the producer and consumer annuity and find and interpret the market equilibrium point after-tax if the consumer is taxed at a rate of 0,75 TL per product.
