Canada's dairy industry is a rich, closed club If you want to be a dairy farmer, you buy a plot of land and some cows and start to sell your milk. Not in Canada. There, farmers must buy a quota to produce a set amount of milk. The situation is similar in the markets for chicken and eggs. Source: The Globe and Mail, June 25, 2015 Draw a graph to illustrate the Canadian market for milk. With a production quota, show the quantity of milk produced, the price, consumer surplus, producer surplus, and the deadweight loss created. The graph shows the demand curve and supply curve in the Canadian milk market. Draw a line to indicate the production quota if the production quota is 250 million gallons a year. Label it. Draw a point to show the quantity produced and the price paid by consumers. Draw shapes to show the consumer surplus, the producer surplus, and the deadweight loss created. Label them.

In 1990, the U.S. Congress imposed an excise tax on yachts built in the U.S. and other high-priced luxury products such as jewelry and fur coats with a price over $100,000. The Joint Congressional Committee on Taxation predicted that these so-called “luxury taxes” would raise more than $30 million for the federal government in 1991. In fact, these taxes generated only about $16 million in revenue. Furthermore, about 7500 jobs in the U.S. boat-building industry were lost, so those workers paid less in income taxes. Putting this all together, the luxury tax led to a decrease of $7 million in government revenue rather than the predicted $30 million increase. Why didn’t the plan to raise government revenue by imposing an excise tax on luxury goods work as planned? Explain what mistake Congress made in setting the tax on luxury products.

This question analyze the market for cellular service. QD = 50 – 0.25P QS = 2P – 76 a. Suppose the government imposes a $60 price ceiling. Calculate the new quantity sold in the market. Q = a. Suppose the government instead imposes a $50 price ceiling. Calculate the new quantity sold in the market. Q = b. Briefly explain whether the $50 price ceiling creates a shortage or surplus in the market, and calculate the size of that shortage/surplus. What is The amount of the surplus or shortage is units? c. Calculate the amount of deadweight loss associated with the $50 price ceiling. DWL =
The current market price of bananas is $1 per pound. Use a graph and words to show the effect of a ten cent tax on each pound of bananas. Insert your own numbers into your graph. Be sure to indicate the new price paid by consumers, the new price received by sellers, and the new quantity sold.
Suppose the demand and the supply for lumber (harvested wood processed in a sawmill) used for construction in Australia are given byQD =100 – 2PQS = 1/2PAssume also that the market is perfectly competitive.Suppose the lumber market described was closed to the rest of the world. Now it opens to trade and the world price of lumber is 20. Compute the equilibrium price, quantity supplied by domestic producers, and quantity demanded by domestic consumers.2.Use a demand and supply graph to show how consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus change with international trade.3. Now suppose that Country A is a major exporter of lumber to Australia and in an effort to impose sanctions on Country A, Australia imposes a tariff of t=10 on all lumber imported into Australia. Use a graph of supply and demand to show how the tariff changes consumer, producer and total surplus.4. Calculate the equilibrium price, quantity produced and demanded domestically, tariff revenue, and deadweight loss.

The ticket price for a play at a Broadway theater is $160, and the theater is full every night. The theater owner, in consultation with a local non-profit arts group, wants to make attending the play more affordable, to open up the theater experience to patrons with more limited budgets. The owner decides to lower the ticket price to $50. Sketch a supply and demand graph that represents the market for these play tickets under this price-ceiling policy. Briefly explain why this market is not in equilibrium when the price ceiling is in effect. On your graph, clearly identify the size of the shortage or surplus this market will experience.
The following graph shows the daily market for wine. Suppose the government institutes a tax of $23.20 per bottle. This places a wedge between the price buyers pay and the price sellers receive. Fill in the following table with the quantity sold, the price buyers pay, and the price sellers receive before and after the tax. Quantity Price Buyers Pay Price Sellers Receive (Bottles of wine) (Dollars per bottle) (Dollars per bottle) Before Tax After Tax Using the data you entered in the previous table, calculate the tax burden that falls on buyers and on sellers, respectively, and calculate the price elasticity of demand and supply over the relevant ranges using the midpoint method. Enter your results in the following table. Tax Burden Elasticity (Dollars per bottle) Buyers Sellers The burden of the tax falls more heavily on the ___ elastic side of the market.
