- Suppose that the government tends to maximize the tax revenue. How would the cannabis price drop affect the government tax revenue if cannabis was taxed by price? Did the government anticipate the cannabis price drop when designing the tax scheme? You may come up with an artificial numerical example to support your findings. are alcohol and cigarettes substitutes or complements of cannabis?(The answer to this question depends on the actual consumption data. If you do not know the data, you may make an assumption. Then, you should stick with this assumption for the rest of your analysis. For example, if you assume that alcohol and cigarettes are substitutes of cannabis, then your entire analysis is based upon this assumption.) How would the change in the price of cannabis possibly affect the market demand curve for alcohol/cigarettes?Based on the attached equation. Determine the following (a) Buyer’s price after tax(b) Seller’s Price after tax(c) Quantity after taxVariables typically included in a multivariate demand function (other than the price and quantity of the item the demand function represents) are consumer tastes and preferences, the number of buyers, spendable (disposable) income, prices of substitute goods, prices of complementary goods, advertising expenditures, weather, and expectations. Recalling that the price of the item being considered is placed on the vertical axis, and the quantity on the horizontal axis, the other variables are termed demand shifters. Please answer the following questions about the affect changes in other variables might have on the demand for the item. These changes will either cause demand to increase (shift right) or decrease (shift left). Use either word as applicable, for the short answer. If the price of a good increases because the demand for it increases, What would you expect the demand for its complement to do? If the demand for coffee beans increases, then what is likely to happen…
- ) It is an established fact in economics that for goods which are described as inferior goods, when incomes of consumers increase, consumers tend to reduce their consumption of such goods and rather patronize goods which would normally provide higher satisfaction .Suppose in Ghana, gari is seen as an inferior good and incomes of low income earners rise substantially as result of the introduction of a new incomes policy. If a researcher decides to undertake a study to verify the general preposition that as incomes rise, the consumption of inferior goods falls. 1.which type of economic study and what analysis is this? Justify your answer.In the below graph, the white area in the upper left hand side represents 50% of the total area of the rectangle, the shaded area represents 27% of the area of the rectangle, and the white area in the lower right hand side represents 23% of the area in the rectangle. Based on this information, what is the Gini coefficient? Show your work.Government-imposed taxes cause reductions in the activity that is being taxed, which has important implications for revenue collections. To understand the effect of such a tax, consider the monthly market for rum, which is shown on the following graph. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly.

How would the change in the price of cannabis possibly affect the market demand curve for alcohol/cigarettes?In our basic model of utility maximization, identify the graphical representations of the following concepts: (a) Preferences (b) Resource scarcityAdvertising A small manufacturing firm collected the following data on advertising expenditures A (in thousands of dollars) and total revenue R (in thousands of dollars). (a) Draw a scatter diagram of the data. Comment on the type of relation that may exist between the two variables (b) The quadratic function of best fit to these data is R(A) = - 7.76A2 + 411.88A + 942.72 Use this function to determine the optimal level of advertising. (c) Use the function to predict the total revenue when the optimal level of advertising is spent. (d) Use a graphing utility to verify that the function given in part (b) is the quadratic function of best fit. (e) Use a graphing utility to draw a scatter diagram of the data, and then graph the quadratic function of best fit on the scatter diagram.
