In the following question you are asked to determine, other things equal, the effects of a given change in a determinant of demand or supply for product X upon (1) the demand (D) for, or supply (S) of, X; (2) the equilibrium price (P) of X; and (3) the equilibrium quantity (Q) of X. Removing the excise tax on product X will
Suppose an economist estimates the price elasticity of demand for sugary drinks is -4.2, while its price elasticity of supply is 1.2. If the government decides to impose a per-unit tax of $9 per can of sugary drinks sold, how would the market price of sugary drinks be affected? Show your calculation
Suppose households supply 560 billion hours of labor per year and have a tax elasticity of supply of 0.15. If the tax rate is increased by 10 percent, by how many hours will the supply of labor decline?
The pillow market is currently in equilibrium and is competitive. If the current market price is $22 per pillow and the government imposes a $5 per pillow tax on the sellers, the new market price becomes $27 per pillow. How much of the $5 tax is paid by the buyer? How much of the $5 tax is paid by the seller/ Which elasticity is larger elasticity of demand or elasticity of supply in absolute values? Which is larger |E| or |Es|?
Draw two supply/demand graphs, one with a highly elastic demand and the other with a highly inelastic demand. (If you don’t know what this means, review elasticity.) Give your two supply curves a similar slope and make the equilibrium price the same for both graphs. On each graph put a price floor at the same level and identify the surplus and deadweight loss. In which case is the effect from the price floor larger?
Consider the market for BP gasoline. If the market has a very elastic supply and a very inelastic demand, how would the burden of a tax on BP gasoline be shared between producers and consumers? Draw a graph to support your answer.
