- What is the nature of the deadweight loss accompanying taxes? Why is it often referred to as an excess burden?Many studies on rats and mice have established that charred meat grilled over hot coals causes cancer. Since the government cannot easily regulate home cooking methods, an alternative method has been proposed to discourage the consumption of barbecued meat. The proposal is to place a 100 percent tax at the retail level on charcoal briquets. Suppose the daily demand for charcoal was P= 100-Q/10 and the supply was P= 1 + Q./100 where P is in dollars per bag and Q is the number of 20 lb bags of charcoal sold weekly. a. What is the before and after - tax price of charcoal? b. Graph and show the deadweight loss due to the tax c. Why might this deadweight loss over estimate the loss to society from this tax?Congress and the president decide that the United States should reduce air pollution by reducing its use of gasoline. They impose a $0.50 tax on each gallon of gasoline sold. Suppose they decided to impose the tax on consumers. In the following graph, shows the effect of a $0.50 tax on each gallon of gasoline sold imposed on consumers by shifting the demand or supply curve. DemandSupply01234563.02.52.01.51.00.50Price of Gasoline (Dollars per gallon)Quantity of Gasoline (Thousands of gallons)Demand Supply True or False: The effect of the tax will be the same regardless of whom the tax is imposed on. True False This tax would be more effective in reducing the quantity of gasoline consumed if the demand for gasoline were elastic. True or False: Consumers of gasoline are helped by this tax. True False Workers in the oil industry are by this tax.
- 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 government is considering levying a tax of $80 per unit on suppliers of either leather jackets or smartphones.

In the absence of taxes, the equilibrium price of a ride is $5 and the equilibrium quantity is 10 million rides. Suppose that regulator levies an excise tax on bus service providers. The amount of excise tax equals $2 per ride. Calculate the amount of dead-weight loss resulting from this tax. $4 million $0.5 million $1 million $2 million

Suppose that regulator levies an excise tax on bus service providers. The amount of excise tax equals $2 per ride. Calculate the tax revenue. $12 million $8 million $16 million $9 millionSuppose an economist estimates the price elasticity of demand for sugary drinks is -4.2, while its price elasticity of supply is 1.2. If the government decides to impose a per-unit tax of $9 per can of sugary drinks sold, how would the market price of sugary drinks be affected? Show your calculationSuppose the market for cigarette is competitive. An economist estimates the price elasticity of demand and supply for cigarette are -0.8 and 0.7 respectively. Suppose the government imposes a per-unit tax of $45 on the cigarette sellers. By how much would buyers share the tax burden respectively? Show your calculation.
- Consider the market for BP gasoline. If the market has a very elastic supply and a very inelastic demand, how would the burden of a tax on BP gasoline be shared between producers and consumers? Draw a graph to support your answer.At the current market equilibrium, the price elasticity of supply for a certain good is much lower than the price elasticity of demand. if the government imposes a $5 specific tax on this good, who will bear more of the burden of the tax?The following graph shows the market for the long-distance bus rides. In the absence of taxes, the equilibrium price of a ride is $5 and the equilibrium quantity is 10 million rides. Suppose that regulator levies an excise tax on bus service providers. The amount of excise tax equals $2 per ride. How many rides will be demanded after the introduction of the excise tax? 7 million 10 million 8 million 9 million
