The following graph represents the demand and supply for an imaginary good called a pinckney. The black point (plus symbol) indicates the pre-tax equilibrium. Suppose the government has just decided to impose a tax on this market; the grey points (star symbol) indicate the after-tax scenario. Complete the following table, given the information presented on the graph. Result Value Per-unit tax Price producers receive before tax Equilibrium quantity after tax In the following table, indicate which of the previous graph’s areas corresponds to each concept. Check all that apply. Concept A B C D E F Producer surplus after the tax is imposed Tax revenue after the tax is imposed Consumer surplus after the tax is imposed
The figure below shows a market of good X. Suppose that the government levied the tax of 30 on X. Regarding the after-tax equilibrium quantity, does it matter on which side (sellers or buyers) the tax was levied? What is the quantity and the price buyers pay and the price sellers receive in the after-tax equilibrium? Quantity: Price buyers pay: Price sellers receive:
How does a Tax on Production affect a negatively sloped Demand curve or the Supply Curve? The supply curve shifts to the Left The supply curve shifts to the Right There is no shift, only movement along the Supply Curve The demand curve shifts to the left
The following graph represents the demand and supply for an imaginary good called a pinckney. The black point (plus symbol) indicates the pre-tax equilibrium. Suppose the government has just decided to impose a tax on this market; the grey points (star symbol) indicate the after-tax scenario.
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:
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; Calculate the producer and consumer annuity and find and interpret the market equilibrium point after-tax if the consumer is taxed at a rate of 0,75 TL per product.

When a good is taxed: a. both buyers and sellers of the good are made worse off. b. only buyers are made worse off, because they ultimately bear the burden of the tax. c. only sellers are made worse off, because they ultimately bear the burden of the tax. d. neither buyers nor sellers are made worse off, since tax revenue is used to provide goods and services that would otherwise not be provided in a market economy.
Government-imposed taxes cause reductions in the activity that is being taxed, which has important implications for revenue collections. To understand the effect of such a tax, consider the monthly market for gin, which is shown on the following graph. 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. Suppose the government imposes a $20-per-bottle tax on suppliers. At this tax amount, the equilibrium quantity of gin is____ bottles, and the government collects_____ in tax revenue.
The figure below shows a market of good C. Suppose that the government levied a tax on C. If the size of the tax is 10, how much is the after-tax equilibrium quantity? If the after-tax equilibrium quantity is 50, how much is the size of the tax? Quantity if tax = 10: Tax if quantity is 50:
The Piguovian tax tends to decrease the price that buyers pay and increase the price that sellers receive. Therefore, such a tax leads to an efficient market output. choices - the first and second statements are false - the first statement is false, the second is true. - the first statement is true, the second is false - the first and second statements are true.
Consider the following market supply and demand information for cigarettes: Price ($) Demand for Cigarettes (in million packs per week) $2 12 3 10 4 8 5 6 6 4 7 2 and the supply is 8,000,000 cigarette packs per week. Now suppose that the government mandates a $1 excise tax per pack on the buyers of cigarettes. Who bears the economic incidence (tax burden) of the excise tax?…
