Consider a market for an imported good.There are no domestic producers. The marketsupply function is assumed to be upwardsloping and the market demand function isassumed to be downward sloping. There is nomarket failure in the beginning. Thegovernment is considering imposing a tariff ora quota to increase tax revenue. Bear in mindthat producer surplus is not considered aspart of social welfare since they are allforeigners. a. 8% With the help of a diagram,identify the effects on consumer surplus,producer surplus and social welfare with theimposition of tariff.b. 8% With the help of adiagram, identify the effects on consumersurplus, producer surplus and social welfarewith the imposition of quota, whereas thequota equals the market quantity in part a. c.4% As an advisor to the government, whichoption will you recommend?

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?
Suppose demand and supply are given by? = 500-2P and ? =-100+3Pa) Which function is the demand function and why?b) Compute the equilibrium price and quantity in this market?c) Compute the consumer surplus and producer surplus.d) Suppose a GHC 1 exercise tax is imposed on the good. Determine the new equilibrium price and quantity.e) Compute the tax revenue to the government. f) Compute the deadweight loss resulting from the tax.
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 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.
The equation of demand is Q=10000-5p, supply is Q=-2000+10p Q represents the quantity of houses on the market and P the rental price. The equilibriumrental price equals 800 euros per month. if the government increase the supply of rental houses, by building 3,000 extra houses,What are the effects of each measure for both house owners and people renting ahouse? And what are the consequences for the government? Analyse the measuresgraphically and mathematically.
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?
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 is an increase in the demand for the good. The new demand equation is Qd = 190 – 2P. The government is trying to decide between two options: Maintain the number of quotas and let the market adjust, orMaintain the price support and increase the number of quotas. Suppose now that the government decides to increase the number of quotas available to 72 units, but it keeps the price support at the current level of $72. Calculate: i) the consumer Surplusii) the producer surplusiii) deadweight loss HINT: Sketch the supply and demand equations. Which of the two options would be preferred by the producers? Which of the two options would be preferred by society as a whole?
