Q2. Suppose the government wants to reduce the consumption of alcohol in the market byintroducing a tax per bottle on the supplier's side. The government does not know what thedemand curve looks but knows that prior to the tax, the equilibrium is at point E1, for all theconsumers in the market. Suppose there are two scenarios of alcohol consumers in the market: i) an extremely inelastic demand curve for additive adult drinkersii) a demand curve that is moderately elastic for young drinkers Please show your answer directly to a well labeled figure and explain what would occur underthese two scenarios after adding the tax on the supplier's side, and on which scenario groupthis tax would best work for the government's objective?
Suppose the government of the island has decided to give consumers a more attractive price for tomatoes by imposing a fixed, per unit subsidy. Thus, start with the original demand (Qd = 450 - 100P) and supply (Qs = 50P) and analyze this new intervention, the subsidy. The subsidy works like this: each tomato seller receives a 3-dollar refund for each kilogram of tomatoes sold. Write down the equation for the new "effective supply" curve. Determine the new equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price. What is the price that the consumers will pay for their tomatoes? What is the price that the producers will effectively earn for their tomatoes, inclusive of the subsidy? How much will the government spend on tomato subsidies in this case in total? (Recall the units of measurement: P is the price in dollars per kilogram of tomatoes; and Q is the quantity of tomatoes, expressed in thousands of kilograms.) Graphically depict the new equilibrium complete with (solved) values for the new…
Suppose tuition fees for a university increase from £3,000 to £9,000. Afterthe increase, enrolment drops by 5%.a) Calculate the price elasticity of demand for education at this university.Explain.b) Do tuition revenues at this university increase or decrease following thetuition fee change? How is this related to the price elasticity of demand foreducation at this university? Explain.c) Focusing on welfare (private and social costs and benefits), give the maineconomic argument(s) as to whether the government should subsidizehigher education or not, and if so by how much. Provide sufficient detail for your argument(s).d) In some countries higher education is provided free of charge to allstudents. Does this make such higher education a public good? Explain.e) Explain why setting up a cartel and maintaining collusion may be difficultin general.f) Explain how a maximum tuition fee of £9000 imposed by the government may facilitate collusion between universities.

ase:Most of the world’s governments have struggled to handle the issue of allowing consumption of forbidden goods, such as alcohol, cigarette, tobacco etc. to its population. Various methods of control have been exercised world over, such as, complete ban on these goods, a restricted consumption regime with quota on consumption or quota on selling, price floors keeping the price of these goods high up in order to reduce demand and imposing high taxes to generate same effect. None of thee seem to have worked to control the availability and consumption of such goods by the society. These are called social bads, as they not only are harmful for the person consuming them, there are external effects on others, such as family and friends and the larger society.In Rampur, Alcohol are forbidden, so people trade Alcohol bottles in a black market. The Alcohol demand is QD = 12 − P , and the supply is Qs = 2P(a) Find the equilibrium price and quantity in the black market.(b) The government…

(c) Suppose now the producers are complaining, and the government de- cides to keep the price ceiling policy, but at the same time, the government will give a subsidy of s per unit to the producers. What is value of s that can make the producers as well off as before imposing the price ceiling (that is, producer surplus equals to the value in part (a))?

Suppose the government of the island has decided to make tomatoes more affordable to consumers by imposing a fixed per unit subsidy. Thus, start with the original demand (Qd = 50 – 5P) and supply (Qs = 5P – 25) and analyze this new intervention, the subsidy. The subsidy works like this: tomato sellers receive a $4 refund from the government for each kilogram of tomatoes they sell to consumers. • Write down the equation for the new "effective supply" curve. • Determine the new equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price. • What is the price that the consumers will pay for their tomatoes? • What is the price that the producers will effectively earn for their tomatoes, inclusive of the subsidy? • How much will the government spend on tomato subsidies in this case in total? (Recall the units of measurement: P is the price in dollars per kilogram of tomatoes; and Q is the quantity of tomatoes, expressed in thousands of kilograms.) • Produce a new graph depicting the new, post-subsidy…
