Consider the market for product ABC, when the price is at Php 12, quantity demanded is 6 units and quantity supplied is 3 units. An eight pesos increase in the price would change quantity demanded by 2 units and quantity supplied by 4 units. 1. At equilibrium point, how much is the producers surplus? 2. How much would the producer receive when tax is imposed? 3. If the government imposed Php 0.75 tax, how much would be the tax burden of the buyer?

The market for pizza is characterized by a downward sloping demand curve and an upward sloping supply curve. Suppose that the government forces each pizza house to pay a Php2 tax on each pizza sold. Illustrate the effect of this tax on the pizza market. Label the consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue, and deadweight loss. How does each area compare to the pre-tax case?
Suppose the market demand for milk is Qd = 40 – 4P Where Qd is millions of gallons demanded and P is price per gallon. Suppose the market supply for milk is Qs = - 40/3 + 20/3P Suppose a tax of $1 per gallon of milk is imposed in this market. What is the new price paid by consumers and What is the quantity of milk sold? *Hint: It does not matter if the tax is collected from purchasers or sellers.
Describe in detail how taxes impact consumer and producer surplus. In your discussion, also show graphically, the before and after-tax impact. Why must local governments pay attention to the types of products they tax. Describe in detail how the elasticity of these products impacts the expected revenue to be generated by these local Governments Trade makes both consumers and producers better off. Explain this in detail with all appropriate graphs. How has your study of Economics so far provided insight to the business world around you? Explain why trade increases total surplus. In your analysis, show how this true from both importing and exporting goods and services. Please be thorough. How does the elasticity of a product impact Corporate Revenue?

When the price is 10 TL for each pack of cookies, the supply is 250 thousand and the demand is 120 thousand boxes. When the price is 9,5 TL for each pack of cookies, the supply is 200 thousand and the demand is 240 thousand boxes. Since the price-demand and supply-demand equations are linear; Calculate the producer and consumer annuity and find and interpret the market equilibrium point after-tax if the consumer is taxed at a rate of 0,75 TL per product.
Suppose demand is given by ??(?) = 1 – ? and supply ??(?) = ?, with prices in dollars. If buyers pay a 10 cent tax, what is the after tax demand? Do the same computations as the previous exercise and show that the outcomes are the same. Suppose both demand and supply are linear, ??=?−? and ??=?+?p . A quantity tax is a tax that has a constant value for every unit bought or sold. Determine the new equilibrium supply price ?? and demand price ?? when a quantity tax of amount t is applied. The Manning Company has two factories, one that makes roof trusses, and one that makes cabinets. With? workers, the roof factory produces trusses per day. With n workers, the cabinet plant produces 5. The Manning Company has 400 workers to use in the two factories. Graph the production possibilities frontier. (Hint: Let ? be the number of trusses produced. How many workers are used making trusses?) Alarm & Tint, Inc., has 10 workers working a total of 400 hours per week. Tinting takes 2 hours…
Consider a country which taxes two goods, diamonds and bread. Each good has a supply elasticity of 1. The demand elasticity for diamonds is ηdd = −4; the demand elasticity for bread is ηbd = −0.25. In the market equilibrium, bread costs pb = $1 and a quantity of 100 is sold; diamonds cost $1000 and 10 are sold. Suppose a tax of τb = $0.50 is imposed on bread, and a tax of τd = $200 is imposed on diamonds. (a) What portion of the tax on bread is borne by consumers? What portion of the tax on diamonds is borne by consumers? (b) What is the deadweight loss from the tax on bread? What is the deadweight loss from the tax on diamonds? (c) Are these taxes optimal according to the Ramsey rule? If not, which tax should be increased and which should be decreased? (d) Are there any equity considerations which would argue against your answer for part (c)

Due to good weather there the demand equation moved from Qd =180-2p to Qd-190-2p. The supply equation is -15+p. the government is try to decide either to maintain the number of quoata which at $72 is 36 units and let the market adjust or maintain the price support and increase tehe number of quotas. 1. if the government decides to maintain the number of quoatas and let the market adjust . calculate : the price observed in the market, the consumer surplus, the producer surplus and dead weight loss. 2. if the government increases the number of quoatas available to 72 units calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus and dead weight loss
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 question
