Assume that the markets for sugar cane, rum and whiskey are initially in equilibrium(i.e., supply equals demand in each case). Assume further that a good harvest impactsthe world’s sugar cane crop. Sugar cane is a principal ingredient in rum, but it is not an ingredient in whiskey. Rum and whiskey are substitutes in consumption. (b) Discuss the effect on the markets for each of the three products if thegovernment implements a price restriction in the sugar cane market with the aim of protecting the farmers. How will this impact the revenues for sugar growers, rum producers, and whiskey producers?

Suppose that a market is described by the following supply and demand equations:Qs=2PQD=300-Pa.Solve for the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity.b.Solve that a tax of T is placed on buyers,so the new denad equation is QD=300-(P+T).Solve for the new equilibrium.What happens to the price receive by sellers,the price paid by buyers.and the quantity sold?c.Tax revenue is TxQ.Use your answer from part(b)to solve for tax revenue as a function of T.Graph this relationship for T between 0 and 300.d.The dead weight loss of a tax is the area of a triangle between supply and demand curves.Recalling that the area of the triangle is 1/2xbasexheight,solve for the dead weight loss as afunction of T.Graph this relationship for T between 0 and 300.e.The government now levies a tax of $200per unit on this good.Is this a good policy?Why or why not?Can you propose a better policy?
Suppose that before tax was imposed 400 million gallons of gasoline was supplied at $3.00 per gallon.a. What happens when government imposes a tax of 60 cents per gallon on sellers? b. How would such a tax affect the market for gasoline i.e. what is the new equilibrium? c. On whom does the incidence of the tax fall more heavily? d. How much government revenue will be generated by the excise tax? e. What happens when government imposes a tax of 60 cents per gallon on buyers? f. How would such a tax affect the market for gasoline i.e. what is the new equilibrium?
Let Q=2P be supply and Q=20-2P be demand. With a tax of 2 the price received by the producer is........ With this question, I know the price received by tge consumer is 6 becuase I just plug the new equilibrium quantity into the demand equation. I reworked all the problems so that P(supply)=1/2Q and P(demand)=10-1/2Q and P(tax)=1/2Q+2. My only question is do I plug the new equilibirum quantity into the supply equaiton with or wihtout the tax? (P=1/2Q or P=1/2Q+2)? I might just be overthinking it, but I just want to double check becuase so I can get a solid understanding of this.
Q^d= 9.5 - 2p Q^s= 0.6p Tax. Suppose that the government imposes a tax equal to T = 0.50 which buyers must pay for every donut they purchase. (a) How does this tax change the supply and/or demand curve for donuts? (b) Solve for the new equilibrium price and quantity of donuts. Give the price paid by the buyer and the price received by the seller. (c) Draw a single supply and demand diagram that compares the equilibrium with and without the tax. Be sure to indicate the equilibrium quantity of donuts sold as well as the price paid by buyers and the price received by sellers in each case. On the same diagram, indicate the areas which represent consumer and producer surplus, tax revenue and the deadweight loss arising from this tax. (d) Calculate the amount of producer and consumer surplus at this new equilibrium price and quantity, as well as the amount of tax revenue and the deadweight loss. (e) Is the total surplus higher, lower, or the same as in question one? Give an…
a) Solve for equilibrium output in terms of the exogenous variables. b) What is the multiplier? Is the multiplier higher whent1is 0 or whent1is positive? Note)t1= 0is the same as the baseline case we covered in class when taxes are exogenous. c) Supposec0increases by $300 m. What is the change in equilibrium Y when c1= 0.5 and t1= 0.2. What about whenc1= 0.5 and t1= 0?
