he following graph shows the annual market for Florida oranges, which are sold in units of 90-pound boxes. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly. In this market, the equilibrium price is per box, and the equilibrium quantity of oranges is million boxes.

6. Who should pay the tax? The following graph shows the labor market for research assistants in the fictional country of Universalia. The equilibrium wage is $10 per hour, and the equilibrium number of research assistants is 250. Suppose the government has decided to institute a $4-per-hour payroll tax on research assistants and is trying to determine whether the tax should be levied on the employer, the workers, or both (such that half the tax is collected from each side). Use the graph input tool to evaluate these three proposals. Entering a number into the Tax Levied on Employers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the demand curve down by the amount you enter, and entering a number into the Tax Levied on Workers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the supply curve up by the amount you enter. To determine the before-tax wage for each tax proposal, adjust the amount in the Wage field until the quantity of labor supplied equals the quantity of…

As an Economics student you have been analysing the price movements of differentproducts. You note the following two price relationships:a. When there is a drought the price of maize rises.b. When the price of potatoes increases, the price of bread also increases (bread is asubstitute for potatoes).Use demand and supply diagrams to explain these two relationships. Please note: Twodiagrams are required, one for maize and one for bread.
