Imagine there is a market with the following demand curve and supply curve respectively: p = 16 – Qd p = 2+ Qs The government imposes a $2 subsidy per unit on consumers. What will be the new equilibrium quantity and the pric (PB) once the subsidy has been introduced? The equilibrium quantity is 6 and the price paid by buyers is $10. The equilibrium quantity is 8 and the price paid by buyers is $8 The equilibrium quantity is 8 and the price paid by buyers is $10 The equilibrium quantity is 6 and the price paid by buyers is $7.

Consider the market for commercial fans. The following graph shows the demand and supply for commercial fans before the government imposes any taxes. First, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity of commercial fans in the absence of a tax. Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer surplus (CS) at the equilibrium price. Next, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing total producer surplus (PS) at the equilibrium price. Suppose the government imposes an excise tax on commercial fans. The black line on the following graph shows the tax wedge created by a tax of $50 per fan. First, use the tan quadrilateral (dash symbols) to shade the area representing tax revenue. Next, use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer surplus after the tax. Then, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing total producer…
The difference between a tax and a subsidy is when the government places a tax on the producers of a good, it _____ the equilibrium price and _____ the equilibrium quantity, but when the government grants a subsidy to the producers of the good, it _____ the equilibrium price and _____ the equilibrium quantity. Group of answer choices increases; increases; decreases; decreases decreases; decreases; increases; increases increases; decreases; decreases; increases decreases; increases; increases; decreases increases; does not change; does not change; increases
A subsidy is the opposite of a tax. With a $0.50 tax on the buyers of ice-cream cones, the government collects $0.50 for each cone purchased; with a $0.50 subsidy for the buyers of ice-cream cones, the government pays buyers $0.50 for each cone purchased. Show the effect of a $0.50 per cone subsidy on the demand curve for ice-cream cones, the effective price paid by consumers, the effective price received by sellers, and the quantity of cones sold. Do consumers gain or lose from this policy? Do producers gain or lose? Does the government gain or lose? A subsidy is the opposite of a tax.

Consider a free market with demand equal to QQ = 900 − 10PP and supply equal to QQ = 20PP. Now the government imposes a $15 per unit subsidy on the production of the good. What is the consumersurplus now? The producer surplus? Why is there a deadweight loss associated with the subsidy, and whatis the size of this loss?

The demand and supply of coffee are shown here, with an equilibrium price of $4 per pound and an equilibrium quantity of 4,000 pounds per week. Suppose the government imposes a $3 tax per pound of coffee, collected FROM THE BUYER. Draw a new curve (demand or supply), accurately positioned, that reflects the impact of this tax. Please draw the new curve. THANK YOU .
The U.S. government provides subsidies for a variety of agricultural products. Suppose the demand for and supply of corn is as indicated in the accompanying graph. (is on the picture) a. In the absence of government involvement in the market, the equilibrium price is _______________ per bushel, and the equilibrium quantity is ________billion bushels. (completed) b. Suppose the government provides a $2 per unit subsidy for suppliers of corn. In the graph, shift one or both curves to show the effect of the subsidy. (graph) c. As a result of the subsidy, consumers will pay___________ per bushel, and sellers will receive ________ per bushel. (completed)
The market for jelly has a supply and demand given by the following: QD=200–10p QS=20p–100 (a) What is the consumer surplus and producer surplus? (b) Suppose to aid families, the government instates a price ceiling of 9. What is the resulting CS and PS. What is the deadweight loss? (c) Unhappy with the resulting shortages of jelly, the government removes the price ceiling and replaces it with a subsidy to consumers. What subsidy would be required to lower the price consumers pay to 9? (d) What is the resulting CS, PS from the subsidy? (e) How much does the subsidy cost the government? What is the DWL?
The market supply and demand for solar panels are given respectively by QS = 80P – 5,000 and QD = 65,000 – 20P, where P is price per solar panel and Q measures the quantity of solar panels. Suppose the government provides a £100 subsidy per solar panel. A. Calculate the price and equilibrium quantity before the government subsidy. B. Calculate the post-subsidy equilibrium quantity, the prices consumers pay and the price producers receive C. How much does the subsidy program cost the government? (3%)
The government is considering levying a tax of $120 per unit on suppliers of either leather jackets or smartphones. The supply curve for each of these two goods is identical, as you can see on each of the following graphs. The demand for leather jackets is shown by DLDL (on the first graph), and the demand for smartphones is shown by DSDS (on the second graph). Suppose the government taxes leather jackets. The following graph shows the annual supply and demand for this good. It also shows the supply curve (S+TaxS+Tax) shifted up by the amount of the proposed tax ($120 per jacket). On the following graph, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area that represents tax revenue for leather jackets. Then use the black triangle (plus symbols) to shade the area that represents the deadweight loss associated with the tax. Instead, suppose the government taxes smartphones. The following graph shows the annual supply and demand for this good, as well as the supply curve…

The market for cookies is represented by the following supply and demand conditions: QD =1,000 – 200P and QS = 400P – 200, where P is the £ price per box of cookies and Q measures boxes per day. Draw the relevant graphs and solve for the equilibrium price and quantity and then use supply and demand curves to illustrate your answer. Suppose the government places a quota on cookies of 500 boxes per day. Solve for the equilibrium price and quantity and then use supply and demand curves to illustrate your answer. Calculate consumer surplus before and after the quota. Calculate producer surplus before and after the quota. Calculate the deadweight loss (excess burden) from the quota.
