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…
A market is described by the following supply and demand curves: QSQS = = 4P4P QDQD = = 400−P400−P The equilibrium price is and the equilibrium quantity is . Suppose the government imposes a price ceiling of $60. This price ceiling is , and the market price will be . The quantity supplied will be , and the quantity demanded will be . Therefore, a price ceiling of $60 will result in . Suppose the government imposes a price floor of $60. This price floor is , and the market price will be . The quantity supplied will be and the quantity demanded will be . Therefore, a price floor of $60 will result in . Instead of a price control, the government levies a tax on producers of $10. As a result, the new supply curve is: QSQS = = 4(P−10)4P−10 With this tax, the market price will be , the quantity supplied will be , and the quantity demanded will be . The passage of such tax will result in .
In a competitive market the equilibrium price, P, and quantity, Q, are found by setting QS = QD = Q in the supply and demand equations: P=aQS +b(a>0,b>0) P=−cQD +d(c>0,d>0) A) If the government levies an excise tax, t, per unit, show that: Q=d-b-t/a+c B)Deduce that the government’s tax revenue, T = tQ, is maximised by takingt=d-b/2
Suppose the demand for burgers is given by Qd=286-20p and the supply is Qs=88+40p. If the government omposes a per unit tax of 1.05 what is the new Equilibrium price and tax revenue
A market is described by the following supply and demand curves: QS = 3P QD = 400−P The equilibrium price is $ and the equilibrium quantity is . Suppose the government imposes a price ceiling of $120. This price ceiling is , and the market price will be $ . The quantity supplied will be , and the quantity demanded will be . Therefore, a price ceiling of $120 will result in . Suppose the government imposes a price floor of $120. This price floor is , and the market price will be $ . The quantity supplied will be and the quantity demanded will be . Therefore, a price floor of $120 will result in . Instead of a price control, the government levies a tax on producers of $40. As a result, the new supply curve is:
Suppose that the market demand for coffee is Pd = 15 – Qd and the market supply is Ps = Qs – 5. What is the equilibrium price and quantity for coffee? Suppose that the government imposes a tax of $1 per unit to reduce coffee consumption and raise government revenues. What will be the new equilibrium quantity? What price will the buyer pay? What price will the seller receive?
Demand is Q=60-2p, Supply is Q=3p. Government imposes a per value tax of τ on producers (so, producers have to pay τ percent of the price they receive as a tax). Find such τ that maximizes the tax revenue of the government.
Assume the following linear demand and supply functions of a good respectively, Q=20-P and Q=-2+P, where Q is the quantity and P is the price. Assume that there is a two-dollar unit tax on buyers a. What is the market price and quantity of the good after the consumption tax? Calculate the consumer and producer surplus after the tax. ? b. What is the deadweight loss because of the tax ?
Given the following information QD = 240-5p QS = P Where QD is the quantity demanded, Qs is the quantity supplied and P is the price. Suppose that the government decides to impose a tax of $12 per unit on sellers in the market. Determine Demand an Supply equation after the tax
Given the following information QD = 240-5p QS = P Where QD is the quantity demanded, Qs is the quantity supplied and P is the price. Suppose that the government decides to impose a tax of $12 per unit on sellers in the market. Determine: Quantity after tax
Consider a market where supply and demand are given by QS =P-20 and QD =130-2P, respectively. Suppose the government imposes a price ceiling of £44. Calculate the deadweight loss as a result of this price ceiling.
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
