Construct a NEW diagram to show the impact of the subsidy on the market equilibrium.
Many governments subsidise electric vehicles. Draw two sup- ply and demand diagrams (one for electric vehicles and one for petrol- powered vehicles) to show the impact of an electric vehicle subsidy. As- sume that an increase in electric vehicles sales reduces petrol powered vehicles by the same amount. On these diagrams show: (a) The quantity of both types of vehicles before the subsidy. (b) The quantity of both types of vehicles after the subsidy. (c) The deadweight losses in both markets before and after the subsidy. 4. is a fuel excise or an electric vehicle subsidy a better policy response to address externalities associated with driving? Your answer should draw on the answers above and could also include: Which policy is simpler to administer. How the two policies impact use of other forms of transport (like public transport or riding a bike). Which policy is fairer.

Wood is used extensively for chairs and is produced in the market. There are equations for the Supply and Inverse Demand of wood for chairs that model its Supply and Demand graph. These equations are (for supply), P = 2Qs, and (for Inverse Demand), P = 10 - 2Qd. Likewise, wood has become very expensive, so the government places a price ceiling of $1. (Part I) Draw the market equilibrium with the government intervention (Q**, P**) of the price ceiling. Please label the graph for slopes, equilibrium points, price ceiling, etc. (Part II) What is the market equilibrium with the intervention of the government (Q**, P**)? (Part III) Based on what you have calculated so far and the given information, is there excess demand or excess supply in the equilibrium? If there is, indicate specifically the type of excess and determine the value of this excess. (Part IV) Are consumers benefiting from this price ceiling in this given scenario? Please compare the market equilibrium without any…
A $3 per unit subsidy has been granted on a commodity. If the demand of that commodity is QD=99-1P and QS=3+2P. Calculate the equilibrium price(s) and quantity after the subsidy.
Current Stats for Gasoline: Government Enforced Price Ceiling - $4.50/gallon Current Market Equilibrium - $3.00/gallon OPEC, the largest global supplier of oil used to make gasoline, has decided to reduce output by 50%. This policy change is expected to drive up the cost of gasoline to $5.00/gallon. How does that price change interact with the price ceiling? A. Changes the Price Ceiling from Binding to Non-Binding B. Disrupts Oil Supply C. Changes the Price Ceiling from Non-Binding to Binding D. No Change
The market for cookies is represented by the following supply and demand conditions: QD =1,000 – 200P and QS = 400P – 200, where P is the £ price per box of cookies and Q measures boxes per day. Draw the relevant graphs and solve for the equilibrium price and quantity and then use supply and demand curves to illustrate your answer. Suppose the government places a quota on cookies of 500 boxes per day. Solve for the equilibrium price and quantity and then use supply and demand curves to illustrate your answer. Calculate consumer surplus before and after the quota. Calculate producer surplus before and after the quota. Calculate the deadweight loss (excess burden) from the quota.

Please no written by hand solution The demand for the Tesla electric automobile is P = 200,000 – 2Q, where P is in $/car and Q is the number of cars sold per year The supply of the Tesla is P = 20,000 + 10Q, P is in $/car and Q is the number of cars produced per year. Find the equilibrium price and quantity of the car assuming there are no buyer subsidies. Also find consumer and producer surplus and total social welfare.

Find the equilibrium pre and post subsidy. What share of the subsidy benefit accrues to the buyers? b.

Suppose the government of the island has decided to make tomatoes more affordable to consumers by imposing a fixed per unit subsidy. Thus, start with the original demand (Qd = 50 – 5P) and supply (Qs = 5P – 25) and analyze this new intervention, the subsidy. The subsidy works like this: tomato sellers receive a $4 refund from the government for each kilogram of tomatoes they sell to consumers. What is the price that the producers will effectively earn for their tomatoes, inclusive of the subsidy? How much will the government spend on tomato subsidies in this case in total? (Recall the units of measurement: P is the price in dollars per kilogram of tomatoes; and Q is the quantity of tomatoes, expressed in thousands of kilograms.) Produce a new graph depicting the new, post-subsidy equilibrium complete with (solved) values for the new price and quantity. Please include the original supply curve in this graph, in addition to the new “effective supply” curve; and clearly label the shift…
