In a closed economy, the demand and the supply function for a given commodity are QD =150-2p and QS = - 50+2p, respectively. Suppose that the government provides a subsidy equal to16 Euros per unit of quantity supplied. Determine the price the producers receive, the price the consumers pay, the total sales, and the cost to the taxpayers in the industry equilibrium with the subsidy.

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; Find and interpret the market equilibrium point after-tax if the consumer is taxed at a rate of 0,75 TL per product.

The supply and demand functions for maize farmers are given as Qs = - 32 + 10P and Qd = 40 – 2P respectively where Qs is quantity supplied in bags, Qd is quantity demanded in bags and P is the price per bag in Ghana Cedis. (a) Determine the equilibrium price and quantity of maize. (b) As a result of the introduction of a new technology in maize farming, the supply function for maize changes to become Qs = - 20 + 10P. Demand remains unchanged. i. Determine the new equilibrium price and quantity. ii. Derive the supply and demand table for maize before and after the introduction of the new technology for price ranges 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. (c) Suppose government intervenes in the maize market and fixes a minimum price of GHC8 per bag after the introduction of the new technology. i. What happens in the maize market? ii. Give two (2) measures that the government can take to deal with the situation created by the minimum price in (c) i. above
Suppose the government establishes a per-unit tax on new car sales. The tax funds will be directed to a new pollution abatement program. Consumers in this market watch the price of cars carefully, since a car purchase represents a significant percentage of consumers’ incomes. On the supply side of the market, the car manufacturers use highly specialized equipment and production processes to produce cars, and find it relatively difficult and costly to quickly move into the production of alternative consumer products. Based on this information above, determine which side of the market (demand or supply) is more price elastic. Make a sketch of the demand and supply in this market, in which the relative slopes reflect the relative elasticities you have noted. On your graph, show the impact of the tax on this market, with your graph showing clearly who will bear the greater percentage of a car tax burden, consumers or producers. (Assume that the sellers make the tax payments to the…
Consider a small, open economy inhabited by a large number of individuals who live for an infinite number of periods and who can perfectly forecast the future. In this economy there is only one good, tradable at no cost, such that its domestic price is determined by the Law of One Price, P(t) 5 S(t)F, where PðtÞ is the domestic price of the good and PF is the foreign price of the good, which we will assume is equal to 1. Time is continuous and the economy is endowed with a constant and exogenous flow of the consumption good. There is perfect mobility of capital in the sense that agents can lend or borrow at the international interest rate of i > 0, which we assume as constant. The real money supply is defined as where M(t) is the nominal money supply. This economy finances an exogenous fiscal deficit, a. Show that the rate of growth of the real stock of money is equal to the difference between the rate of growth of money supply and inflation. b. Assume that the…
Suppose that the price of rice is Tk.65 per kg and 75,000 kg of rice is consumed in equilibrium. A percentage tax on rice is imposed which creates an excess burden of Tk.153,563. If the compensated price-elasticity of demand for rice is 0.7, what is the tax rate?
In an economy, a manufacturing company produces 1,000 units of a product at a total cost of $10,000. If the government imposes a tariff of $2 per unit on imported raw materials used in production, and the company is also subject to a corporate tax rate of 15%, calculate the new total cost of production after considering the cost of tariff and taxation. Assume no other costs are affected.
Read the following scenario. Corn is a very valuable product for which the U.S. government routinely offers subsidies. With no price support, the equilibrium price for corn is $300 per ton and the equilibrium quantity is 500 million tons per year. Suppose that the government agrees to pay farmers $350 for every ton of corn they produce and can't sell in the market. According to the farmer's market supply curve, 600 million tons per year is supplied at the price of $350 a ton, so production should increase to this amount. However, domestic users of corn cut back their purchases. Only 450 million tons a year is demanded at the price of $350 a ton, and purchases decrease to this amount. Farmers continue to produce 500 million tons of corn per year, so because they produce a greater quantity of corn than domestic buyers are willing to purchase, something must be done with the surplus. To make the price support work, the government decides to buy the surplus. Step 2 Use the scenario to…
Continuing your analysis of the competitive US manufacturing industry from Question 1, with demand of Qd = 300 – 4P and supply of Qs = 2P – 60, suppose a technological innovation causes the supply curve to increase, shifting the curve down by $30 for every given quantity Q.  Determine the new supply equation. (Hint: What approach have you used to model taxes and subsidies in previous assignments?) Solve for equilibrium price P2 and quantity Q2.  Depict the original supply S1, the new supply S2, and the original demand D1 on the usual P, Q diagram. Label all intercepts (including two intercepts for the demand curve and one intercept for the supply curve). Clearly indicate and label the new market equilibrium. Graphically indicate the areas of Consumer Surplus (CS2) and Producer Surplus (PS2) that resulted from the new market equilibrium.  Compute the values of Consumer Surplus (CS2) and Producer Surplus (PS2) associated with the new market equilibrium, clearly indicating the units…
In a competitive market in which P = 100 − 2Q is the inverse demand for fuel and P = 10 + Q is the inverse supply of fuel. Calculations are preferred, but you may use a graph for partial Without a tax, what is the market-clearing price and output, P and Q? What is the consumer surplus and producer surplus (with no tax) If a tax on fuel is set at $15, how much fuel will be purchased? You can assume that the buyers pay the tax (but it doesn’t matter). What is the deadweight loss of the tax? Thanks!
