- Consider an ad-valorem tax on a good X. The Demand for good X is constant elasticity with elasticity -2. The Supply for good Y is constant elasticity with elasticity 3. Consider the same setting as for the previous question. When a tax of 1% of the price is imposed on good X, then equilibrium quantity of X exchanged declines by what percentage?Continuos income streams(total value, present value,future value) Consumers surplus and producers surplus A national study of U.S. colleges results in a demand equation q=20000-2p where q is the enrollment at a public college or university and p is the average annual tuition (plus fees) it charges. Officials at ESU have developed a policy to guide the number of students it will accept at a tuition level of p dollars. It is summarized in the equation q=7,500=0.5p. find the quilibruim tuition price p. find the consumers surplus for price p. find the producers surplus for pruce p. Find the total social gain.Q^d= 9.5 - 2p Q^s= 0.6p Tax. Suppose that the government imposes a tax equal to T = 0.50 which must be paid by buyers for every donut they purchase. (a) How does this tax change the supply and/or demand curve for donuts? (b) Solve for the new equilibrium price and quantity of donuts. Give the price paid by the buyer and the price received by the seller. (c) Draw a single supply and demand diagram that compares the equilibrium with and without the tax. Be sure to indicate the equilibrium quantity of donuts sold as well as the price paid by buyers and the price received by sellers in each case. On the same diagram, indicate the areas which represent consumer and producer surplus, tax revenue and the deadweight loss arising from this tax. (d) Calculate the amount of producer and consumer surplus at this new equilibrium price and quantity, as well as the amount of tax revenue and the deadweight loss.

- GIVEN FOR 1-4; The demand curve for prepaid internet services is given by Pd = 80 – 0.2Q andthe supply curve is given by Ps = 20 + 0.2Q, -------> answer by using TRUE or FALSE. If the statement is correct, write TRUE on your answer sheet. If the statement is incorrect, write FALSE. Explain why you answered TRUE or FALSE. Questions 1-4; 1. The consumer surplus (CS) is estimated at 2250. 2. An imposition of a tax of PHP10 per unit on prepaid internet services will result in aproducer surplus (PS) equivalent to 1262.5. 3. An imposition of a tax of PHP 10 per unit will reduce the CS by 687.5 and PS by 687.5.Thus, the net loss to society with the imposition of a tax is 1375. 4. The tax collected by the government with the imposition of this tax is equivalent to 1500.This tax revenue is a net loss to society.The annual demand for imported oranges is given by the following equation:?? = 600,000 − 30,000?where ? is the price per kilogram and ?? is quantity of kilograms demanded per year.The supply of imported oranges is given by the equation:?? = 20,000? b. Suppose that a $1-per-gallon tax is levied on the price of oranges received by sellers. Use both graphic and algebraic techniques to show the impact of the tax on market equilibrium.Due to good weather, there is an increase in the demand for the good. The new demand equation is Qd = 190 – 2P. The government is trying to decide between two options: Maintain the number of quotas and let the market adjust, orMaintain the price support and increase the number of quotas. Suppose now that the government decides to increase the number of quotas available to 72 units, but it keeps the price support at the current level of $72. Calculate: i) the consumer Surplusii) the producer surplusiii) deadweight loss HINT: Sketch the supply and demand equations. Which of the two options would be preferred by the producers? Which of the two options would be preferred by society as a whole?
