Say that the government is considering a ban on smoking in restaurants in Tobaccoville. There are 1 million people living there, and each would benefit by 200 from this smoking ban. However, there are two large tobacco companies in Tobaccoville and the ban would cost them $5 million each. What are the proposed policys total costs and benefits? Do you think it will pass?
Rubber for erasers is produced in the market. There are equations for the Supply and Inverse Demand of eraser rubber that model its Supply and Demand graph. These equations are (for supply), P = 20 + Qs, and (for Inverse Demand), P = 80 - Qd. With that said, the government realizes that it is not turning out enough revenue from the market. As a result, it places a per-unit sales tax of $10. (Part I) Draw the market equilibrium with the government intervention (Q**, PD**, and PS**) of the sales tax. Please label the graph for slopes, equilibrium points, sales tax, etc. (Part II) What is the market equilibrium without the intervention of the government? (Part III) The government once again realizes that the previous tax was not sufficient, and the government is still not making enough money. So, it increases the sales from $10 to $20. Consequently, what is the new market equilibrium point (Q**, PD**, and PS**) with this new intervention? It is not necessary to label this point on the…
Consider a market where supply and demand are given by Qxs = −16 + Px and Qxd = 92 − 2Px . Suppose the government imposes a price floor of $40 and agrees to purchase and discard any and all units consumers do not buy at the floor price of $40 per unit. a. Determine the cost to the government of buying firms’ unsold units. b. Compute the lost social welfare (deadweight loss) that stems from the $40 price floor
Question The supply of candy is given by Qs = 20,000P where Qs is bags of candy supplied per year and P is the price per bag. The demand for candy is given by Qd = 150,000 – 30,000P a. Assuming that candy is sold in a competitive market, what is the equilibrium price and quantity? b. To discourage the consumption of candy, the government levies a tax on consumers in the amount of $1 per bag. What is the new equilibrium quantity? c. What is the impact of the tax on welfare in this market?
In the market for millet, the demand curve qd-50-3p and the supply curve is q=2p. the government decides to raise revenue by taxing consumers c5/3 for every tonne of millet purchased. the price(p) is measured in ghana cedi per tonne; and, quantity(q) is in tonnes. use this information to answer questions a to c a). how much tax revenue is this policy going to generate for government? b) what proportion of the tax is paid by producers? c). what proportion of the tax is paid by consumers?
Economists have stated that an economy has plunged to a market failure with an uptick in natural gas prices and production which has led to underperformance in other areas of the economy. 1. Identify the type of market failure being discussed in the article and discuss why market failure occurs in this scenario. 2. Suggest a relevant government policy that would yield an efficient outcome and carefully explain the process through which the implementation of the government policy will lead to the optimal outcome. 3. How will the imposition of the chosen government policy impact consumer? surplus, producer surplus and total surplus in this scenario?
21-24. The market for concert tickets to see the pop singer Pink has the following supply and demand curves: Supply: P = 20 + 0.0015Q Demand: P = 500 – 0.0025Q Initially, the market is in equilibrium at P = $200, Q = 120,000. Questions 21 to 24 concern this market. 21. The government places a $35 per unit tax on the buyers of concert tickets. At the new equilibrium, the price paid by buyers (including the tax paid and to the nearest cent) will be: A) $200 B) $201.67 C) $205 D) $235 E) $205.83 F) $221.88 G) $186.88 H) $165 I) $278.13 J) None of the above 22. Now suppose that the government alters its policy so that the $35 per unit tax is now placed on the sellers of concert tickets instead of on the buyers. Economic theory tells us the following: A) the buyers’ share and the sellers’ share are reversed by the change in policy B) the buyers’ share and the sellers’ share are not affected by the change in policy C) the shares are affected by the change in policy, but exactly how depends…
Consumer or Producer Surplus: Specify which government interventions cause a consumer or producer surplus. Explain how they impact consumer or produce surplus.
the market demand for rose is QD = 2400–60P and the market supply for rose is QS= –600 +40P. Government imposes a $5 tax per unit of rose sold by the producer. c) Calculate the deadweight loss of a $5 tax per unit levied on producers of roses.d) How does your answers to parts (a) and (c) change if the tax was levied on consumers of rose?
Suppose the equilibrium for the market of staplers has a price of $ 45 , at which 204.4 staplers are sold. The Government believes staplers are undervalued and imposes a price floor of $ 49.6 under which only 145.8 staplers are transacted, generating a deadweight loss of $ 119.1 . What size tax would mimic the effect that the price floor has on consumers?

Given the following information Qd= 240 – 5p Qs= P Where Qd is the quantity demanded, Qs is the quantity supplied and P is the price. What is the producer surplus before the tax? 3. Given the following information Qd= 240 – 5p Qs= P Where Qd is the quantity demanded, Qs is the quantity supplied and P is the price.What is the equilibrium price before the tax? 4. Given the following information Qd= 240 – 5p Qs= P Where Qd is the quantity demanded, Qs is the quantity supplied and P is the price. What is the equilibrium quantity before the tax? 5. Given the following information Qd = 240 – 5p Qs= P Where Qd is the quantity demanded, Qs is the quantity supplied and P is the price.Suppose that the government decides to impose a tax of $12 per unit on sellers in this market. What would be the demand and…
Consider a market where supply and demand are given by QXS = −16 + PX and QXd = 83 − 2PX. Suppose the government imposes a price floor of $36, and agrees to purchase and discard any and all units consumers do not buy at the floor price of $36 per unit. Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to the nearest penny (two decimal places). a. Determine the cost to the government of buying firms’ unsold units.$ b. Compute the lost social welfare (deadweight loss) that stems from the $36 price floor.$
