Given the figure below and and information on recycling markets. D shows the market demand for aluminum cans. Sy is the supply curve of aluminum cans using virgin raw materials. Sp is the supply curve of cans made from recycled aluminum cans. What will happen to the recycling ratio if demand increases and tax on virgin materials increases at the same time? 9₂ 91 Quantity of aluminum cans O recycling ratio unchanged O recycling ratio decreases recycling ratio increases O recycling ratio direction is ambiguous

Explain why each of the following statements is True, False, or Uncertain according to economic principles. Use diagrams where appropriate. It is the explanation that is important. A1-1. Theoretically, taxes on the sales of sugary soft drinks are perfect; they reduce consumption dramatically and raise a lot of revenue. [Hint: Assume a per-unit tax and a horizontal supply curve for soft drinks.] A1-2. If the demand function for chicken is given by Qc = 100 – .25Pc + 10Pt + 100M, where Qc is the quantity of chicken demanded, Pc is the price of chicken, Pt is price of turkey, and M is the average income of consumers, then we can conclude that chicken has a downward sloping demand curve, is a substitute for turkey, and is a normal good. Please answer both and write neatly please
Q^d= 9.5 - 2p Q^s= 0.6p Tax. Suppose that the government imposes a tax equal to T = 0.50 which must be paid by buyers for every donut they purchase. (a) How does this tax change the supply and/or demand curve for donuts? (b) Solve for the new equilibrium price and quantity of donuts. Give the price paid by the buyer and the price received by the seller. (c) Draw a single supply and demand diagram that compares the equilibrium with and without the tax. Be sure to indicate the equilibrium quantity of donuts sold as well as the price paid by buyers and the price received by sellers in each case. On the same diagram, indicate the areas which represent consumer and producer surplus, tax revenue and the deadweight loss arising from this tax. (d) Calculate the amount of producer and consumer surplus at this new equilibrium price and quantity, as well as the amount of tax revenue and the deadweight loss. (e) Is total surplus higher than, lower than or the same as in question one? Give an…

The demand and supply functions for three (03) goods are given as follows: Dx = 100-3Px+Py+3Pz Dy = 80+Px-2Py-Pz Dz = 120+3Px-Py-4Pz Sx = -10+Px Sy = -20+3Py Sz = -30+2Pz determineThe equilibrium prices and quantities of all three goods are? The government decides to: Impose a 25% Tax on X? Impose a 5 Rs /unit Tax on Y? Give a 10% subsidy on good z? Analyze the impact of each of these policies separately on equilibrium prices and quantities? Also calculate changes in consumer and producer surpluses, and amount of revenue earned by the government? Repeat this exercise when policies (a, b), (b, c) and (a, b, c) are jointly implemented. Which policy choice is best? Why? Provide theoretical justification (using diagrams) of all results obtained?
Notice that the before-tax equilibrium price was 25. Compared to the price, in the after-tax equilibrium, how much more would consumers need to pay to buy one X? This is the consumers’ tax incidence. Also, in the after-tax equilibrium, how much less would sellers receive from each X they sell? This is the sellers’ tax incidence. (note: this question asks changes in the prices from before-tax equilibrium price 25) Consumers’ tax incidence: Sellers’ tax incidence:
Continuos income streams(total value, present value,future value) Consumers surplus and producers surplus A national study of U.S. colleges results in a demand equation q=20000-2p where q is the enrollment at a public college or university and p is the average annual tuition (plus fees) it charges. Officials at ESU have developed a policy to guide the number of students it will accept at a tuition level of p dollars. It is summarized in the equation q=7,500=0.5p. find the quilibruim tuition price p. find the consumers surplus for price p. find the producers surplus for pruce p. Find the total social gain.

How would such a tax affect the market for gasoline i.e. what is the new equilibrium? c. On whom does the incidence of the tax fall more heavily? d. How much government revenue will be generated by the excise tax? e. What happens when government imposes a tax of 60 cents per gallon on buyers? f. How would such a tax affect the market for gasoline i.e. what is the new equilibrium?
Assume that the markets for sugar cane, rum and whiskey are initially in equilibrium(i.e., supply equals demand in each case). Assume further that a good harvest impactsthe world’s sugar cane crop. Sugar cane is a principal ingredient in rum, but it is not an ingredient in whiskey. Rum and whiskey are substitutes in consumption. (b) Discuss the effect on the markets for each of the three products if thegovernment implements a price restriction in the sugar cane market with the aim of protecting the farmers. How will this impact the revenues for sugar growers, rum producers, and whiskey producers?
The annual demand and supply for liquor in a certain state is given by the following equation: Qd= 500,000 − 20,000P Qs=30,000P where P is the price per gallon and QD is quantity of gallons demanded per year. a. Suppose that a $1-per-gallon tax is levied on the price of liquor received by sellers. Use both graphic and algebraic techniques to show the impact of the tax on market equilibrium. b. Calculate (i) the excess burden of the tax, (ii) the amount of revenues collected, and (iii) the incidence of the tax between buyers and sellers.
