The market for pizza is characterized by adownward-sloping demand curve and an upwardsloping supply curve.a. Draw the competitive market equilibrium.Label the price, quantity, consumer surplus, andproducer surplus. Is there any deadweight loss?Explain.b. Suppose that the government forces eachpizzeria to pay a $1 tax on each pizza sold.Illustrate the effect of this tax on the pizzamarket, being sure to label the consumer surplus,producer surplus, government revenue, anddeadweight loss. How does each area compare tothe pre-tax case?c. If the tax were removed, pizza eaters and sellerswould be better off, but the government wouldlose tax revenue. Suppose that consumers andproducers voluntarily transferred some of theirgains to the government. Could all parties(including the government) be better off than theywere with a tax? Explain using the labeled areas inyour graph
The following Table refers to four buyers’ willingness to pay for papadums. Each buyeris willing to buy at most one papadum and no more. buyer Willingness to pay ($) for onepapadum Lincoln 17.00 Jefferson 15.00 Franklin 9.00 Washington 3.00 (a) Let the competitive market price be $4.00: calculate the total consumer surplusin the market at this price.(b) Assume now that there is only a single seller of papadums, and she knows eachbuyer’s willingness to pay. Assume that this seller incurs a cost of $4.00 perunit of papadum produced (i.e., the marginal cost is constant). If she intends tomaximise profits, how many papadums would this seller supply to the market,and what price would she charge? Remember, the price has to be the same foreach unit sold. Hint: start at a price of $17 and calculate what profit would be.Then lower the price just enough to attract an additional buyer and calculatewhat the new profit would be. Repeat this until all four buyers are purchasingthe…
6. Suppose the market demand curve for cranberries is given by the equationQd = 500 - 4P, while the market supply curve for cranberries (when P ≥ 50) isdescribed by the equation Qs = -100 + 2P, where P is the price of cranberriesexpressed in dollars per barrel, and quantity (Qd or Qs) is in thousands ofbarrels per year. At what price and quantity is the market for cranberries inequilibrium? Show this equilibrium graphically.

Explain your answer. How would it effectively result in a reduction in emissions? What is the main obstacle for Greenpeace to achieve this? 3. Explain why a Cap-and-Trade program is more likely to be efficient than a standard. Be specific. 4. Explain why the firm’s MAC-curve is its demand curve for pollution permits.
