Federal excise taxes on gasoline vary widely across the developed world. The United States has the lowest taxes at USD $0.40 per gallon (or Â£0.07 per liter), Canada has taxes of $0.60 per gallon, Japan and much of Europe is $2.00 per gallon, while Britain has the highest tax at $2.83 a gallon or Â£0.5 per liter. If gasoline taxes are intended to reduce the time losses from road congestion in urban environments and gasoline pre-tax costs about Â£0.40 per liter, why might the optimal tax in Canada be 50 percent higher than in the United States? What would be an explanation for why adjacent countries would have such different estimates of the price elasticity of demand for auto driving?16

Assume supply of a rice: QS = 1800 + 240P, 1981 Demand for rice: QD = 3550 - 266P.What is the market clearing price? Assume now that government wants to support a priceof $3.60/kg and thus buys the additional amount from the market. Find the change inconsumer surplus, cost to the government and gain of the producer. Instead of pricesupport if government gives a supply restriction of 1500 kg what would happen?
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?

The cost of natural gas sky rocketed following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In response, governments in Europe considered implementing a price cap on natural gas. Suppose the market rate for natural gas is $1 per kWh (kilowatt hour, a measure of power), and the government proposes a price cap of $0.75 per kWh. Which of the following statements are true? (Select all that apply.) Question 3Answer a. The price cap would make natural gas more expensive. b. Due to the low price of gas, producers are less likely to invest in gas production. c. The government could alleviate the issue through a subsidy instead. d. There will be a shortage of natural gas. e. The government could alleviate the issues by taxing gas producers. f. As a result of the price cap, we would expect to see new natural gas wells being developed. g. There will be an excess supply of natural gas. h. The price cap will have no effect on the market.

The Australian government have suggested that they might need to increase GST to help fund the COVID-19 rescue package. GST is a tax on goods and services usually paid at the point of sale. Consider the market for bread. Suppose a loaf costs $4.15 and includes a 15-cent tax per loaf. 2. What determines how the tax burden is shared between buyers and sellers?
Rubber for erasers is produced in the market. There are equations for the Supply and Inverse Demand of eraser rubber that model its Supply and Demand graph. These equations are (for supply), P = 20 + Qs, and (for Inverse Demand), P = 80 - Qd. With that said, the government realizes that it is not turning out enough revenue from the market. As a result, it places a per-unit sales tax of $10. (Part I) Draw the market equilibrium with the government intervention (Q**, PD**, and PS**) of the sales tax. Please label the graph for slopes, equilibrium points, sales tax, etc. (Part II) What is the market equilibrium without the intervention of the government? (Part III) The government once again realizes that the previous tax was not sufficient, and the government is still not making enough money. So, it increases the sales from $10 to $20. Consequently, what is the new market equilibrium point (Q**, PD**, and PS**) with this new intervention? It is not necessary to label this point on the…
