- Suppose the supply and demand curves for a particular product are given by:QS = -20 + 2P QD =100 - 2Pwhere QS and QD are quantities in units and P is the price per unit. Suppose the government implements a price ceiling of $20/unit in this market. Is this price ceilingbinding on the market? What are the quantities demanded and supplied at the price ceiling? Howmany units are exchanged at this price? Given the effects of the policy, is there a potential forillegal trade? Briefly explain your answers where necessary.Assume that the price of soft drinks is $5 and the government decides instead to impose a $1 tax per soft drink on producers. Assume that the demand for soft drinks is perfectly elastic. Will producers pass on part of the tax to consumers in the form of higher prices? Why? Will the loss of consumer surplus be lower or higher relative to a situation where demand is point inelastic at the equilibrium that exists prior to imposition of the tax?Let (inverse) demand be Pb= 101-3 Qb and (inverse) supply be Pv = 16+3 Qv. Consider the PRICE CEILING (P_low) depicted, what is the reduction in tradecaused by the PRICE CEILING?
- Suppose that a market is described by the following supply and demand equations:Qs=2PQD=300-Pa.Solve for the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity.b.Solve that a tax of T is placed on buyers,so the new denad equation is QD=300-(P+T).Solve for the new equilibrium.What happens to the price receive by sellers,the price paid by buyers.and the quantity sold?c.Tax revenue is TxQ.Use your answer from part(b)to solve for tax revenue as a function of T.Graph this relationship for T between 0 and 300.d.The dead weight loss of a tax is the area of a triangle between supply and demand curves.Recalling that the area of the triangle is 1/2xbasexheight,solve for the dead weight loss as afunction of T.Graph this relationship for T between 0 and 300.e.The government now levies a tax of $200per unit on this good.Is this a good policy?Why or why not?Can you propose a better policy?If the government imposes a unit sales tax (i.e., $ tax per unit sold) on a product, which one, “demand or supply” will shift? Increase or decrease? Will the new tax cause “disequilibrium”? Please state clearly about the shift (leftward or rightward) and the equilibrium price and quantity change. No graph is required.Consider a market where demand and supply satisfy the following equationsQd = 12 – 2 P,QS = 2P.a)Find the current equilibrium price and quantity. b)What is the total producer surplus if the market is in equilibrium? The government is considering a minimum price policy to increase producer surplus.c)Explain by means of graphs how the introduction of a price floor can increase producer surplus. d)Find the (optimal) price floor that maximizes producer surplus. hi, can you answer part c and part d for this question please, thanks

The government is considering a minimum price policy to increase producer surplus. c) Explain by means of graphs how the introduction of a price floor can increase producer surplus. d) Find the (optimal) price floor that maximizes producer surplus.Suppose the supply of a good is given by the equation QS=600P−1,200 , and the demand for the good is given by the equation QD=1,600−200P , where quantity (Q) is measured in millions of units and price (P) is measured in dollars per unit. The government decides to levy an excise tax of $2.00 per unit on the good, to be paid by the seller. Calculate the value of each of the following, before the tax and after the tax, to complete the table that follows: 1. The equilibrium quantity produced 2. The equilibrium price consumers pay for the good 3. The price received by sellers Before Tax After Tax Equilibrium Quantity (Millions of units) Equilibrium Price per Unit Paid by Consumers Price per Unit Received by Sellers Given the information you calculated in the preceding table, the tax incidence on consumers is per unit of the good, and the tax incidence on producers is per unit of the good. The government receives in tax revenue from levying an excise tax of $2.00 per unit on this good. True…Consider a market where demand and supply satisfy the following equations QD = 12 – 2 P, QS = 2P.

- i.If the market conditions for a given good are specified by Qd=60,000-500P and Qs=500P, If government decides to set the price at 40 current units, what policy is this? What are the implications of this action? ii.If the government imposes a tax of Gh¢20 on the good above, establish the new equilibrium price and quantity and deduce the burden of tax on consumer and producer and identify the nature of commodity in questionFor this question, the demand is P = 145 - 3Q & supply is P = 35 + 2Q. To enable more citizens to buy more gasoline, the Government decides to give gasoline producers a subsidy of $5 per unit- Using the supply and demande quations from #2. What price will consumer's pay and how much gasoline will they buy (note the answersm ay be fractions or in decimal points)? How much will the Government spend on the subsidy? What will be the change in producer surplus?A market is described by the the supply and demand curves:Qs=2P QD=300-P a.Solve for the equilibrium price and quantity.b.If the government imposes price ceiling of $90,does a shortage or surplus or neither develop?What are the price, quantity supplied,quantity demanded,and size of the shortage or surplus?c.If the government imposes price floor of $90,does a shortage or surplus or neither develop?What are the price, quantity supplied,quantity demanded,and size of the shortage or surplus?d.Instead of a price control,the government levies a tax on producers of $30.As a result, the newpply curve is:Qs(2P-30).Does a shortage or surplus or neither develop?What are the price, quantity supplied,quantity demanded,and size of the shortage or surplus?
