- Suppose the government removes a tax on buyers of a good and levies a tax ofthe same size on sellers of the good. How does this change in tax policy affectthe price that buyers pay sellers for this good, the amount buyers are out ofpocket including the tax, the amount sellers receive net of tax, and the quantityof the good sold?Consider 2 goods with prices p1 = 4 and p2 = 6, and a consumer with income m = 200. The government imposes a sales tax on good 1. Suppose the sales tax is (a) a quantity tax t = 2 (dollars per unit). (b) an ad valorem tax of 30 per cent (t = 0.3). Compute and graph the consumer’s budget line without a tax, and for the taxes in (a) and (b), respectively.Suppose the government removes a tax on buyers ofa good and levies a tax of the same size on sellers ofthe good. How does this change in tax policy affectthe price that buyers pay sellers for this good, theamount buyers are out of pocket (including any taxpayments they make), the amount sellers receive (netof any tax payments they make), and the quantity ofthe good sold?
- Econimic The indifferent curve of consumers have the usual shape with diminishing marginal rate of substitution between the two goods. Suppose the government must raise tax revenue of R and can do this either imposing a per unit tax of t on good A or by imposing a lumpsum tax T on each consumer. Which policy would consumers preferL Explain your reasoning in detail using appropriate diagram. Explain the justification behind your result.Suppose Jolene buys apples weekly. If the price of apples were to drop, Jolene would experience in . a decrease an increase a decrease an increase a decrease total revenue consumer surplus her budget constraint marginal utility willingness to pay Suppose the government levies a tax of $0.50 per pack on the buyers of cigarettes. Suppose also that the price elastic- ity of demand for cigarettes is 1.2 and the price elasticity of supply is 0.7. Because this tax is levied on the sale of a specifi c good, it is an excise tax. a progressive tax. a regressive tax. a proportional tax. a lump-sum tax. After this tax is levied, total surplus will , and the price received by producers (not including the tax) will . increase decrease increase decrease increase increase by exactly $0.50 fall by exactly $0.50 fall by less than $0.50 fall by less than $0.50 increase by more than $0.50 If economists were to study the tax incidence in this cigarette market, they would…The demand and supply functions for three (03) goods are given as follows: Dx = 100-3Px+Py+3Pz Dy = 80+Px-2Py-Pz Dz = 120+3Px-Py-4Pz Sx = -10+Px Sy = -20+3Py Sz = -30+2Pz determineThe equilibrium prices and quantities of all three goods are?

- The Laffer curve illustrates that, in somecircumstances, the government can reduce a tax ona good and increase thea. price paid by consumers.b. equilibrium quantity.c. deadweight loss.d. government’s tax revenue.A family has the following utility over childcare, c, and food, f,: U(x,y) = c^1/5 f^4/5 . The price of childcare Pc= 2, the price of food Pf= 4 and income I = 20. a) What is the family’s demand for childcare and food? b) Suppose the government gives the family an income subsidy of S = 10. How will the family allocate the subsidy in the consumption of the goods c and f (in other words by how much does the consumption of each of these goods rise)? What is the level of utility attained by the family after the subsidy? c) Suppose now that the government decides to give an in-kind transfer to the family. The in-kind transfer takes the form of 4 hours of childcare and .5 units of food. Assume that the transfer cannot be re-sold. Draw a carefully labeled graph where you show that the pre- and post transfer budget constraint. d) What are the new consumption levels after the in-kind transfer is given? What is the level of utility attained by the family at this consumption level?The analysis of taxation in the single-consumer economy used labor as an untaxed numeraire. Show that the optimal allocation with commodity taxation is unchanged when the consumption good becomes the untaxed nume´raire. Then establish that it does not matter which good is nume´raire and which is taxed.
