Market for TVs are perfectly competitive. Assume TV supply is point elastic and upward sloping Government imposes consumer tax upon TVs. If point elasticity of demand is inelastic, is deadweight loss generated by the tax higher or lower relative to where the point elasticity of demand is elastic.
In a competitive market in which P = 100 − 2Q is the inverse demand for fuel and P = 10 + Q is the inverse supply of fuel. Calculations are preferred, but you may use a graph for partial Without a tax, what is the market-clearing price and output, P and Q? What is the consumer surplus and producer surplus (with no tax) If a tax on fuel is set at $15, how much fuel will be purchased? You can assume that the buyers pay the tax (but it doesn’t matter). What is the deadweight loss of the tax? Thanks!
The demand and supply curves for a price taking firm are as follows: Qd = 10- 0.5 Pd Qs= -2+Ps, when Ps>=2 Qs= 0, when Ps<2 where Qd is the quantity demanded when the price consumers pay is Pd, and Qs is the quantity supplied when the price producers receive is Ps. Answer the questions below: Suppose the government imposes an excise tax of 3 TL per unit. What will the new equilibrium quantity be? What price will buyers pay? What price will sellers receive? Calculate consumer surplus (CS), producer surplus (PS) and deadweight (DWL) loss in this case. (Use a diagram while answering the question, show CS, PS and DWL loss areas in your diagram.
he inverse demand function for portable electric heaters is P=220-Q and the supply function is P=20+3Q. Find the competitive equilibrium in the market of portable electric heaters (price and quantity) and represent it graphically. Compute the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total welfare corresponding to the equilibrium found at point (a) and represent them on the graph. The government believes portable electric heaters are a very inefficient way of space heating. For this reason, it introduces a specific tax of 20 for each portable electric heater sold. Find the new quantity exchanged on the market after the introduction of the tax, the price paid by the buyers, and that received by the sellers. Compute the new consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total welfare after the introduction of the tax and represent them on the graph. Does the government’s intervention generate a loss of welfare? If yes, explain why and compute it. Use the price elasticity of demand and supply in…
