Accordingtothetextbook,whichofthefollowingstatementsis(are)correct? (x) When a taxpayer attempts to legally reduce her tax liability, she is engaging in “tax evasion” and when an individual fraudulently avoids paying taxing, she is engaging in “tax avoidance”. (y) One tax system is considered more efficient than another if it raises the same amount of tax revenue at a lower cost to taxpayers. (z) Part of the administrative burden of a tax is associated with the headache of filling out tax forms imposed on taxpayers who comply with the tax. (x), (y) and (z) (x) and (y) only (x) and (z) only (y) and (z) only (x) only
Using demand curve approach, explain how a commodity tax incurs excess burden
Using a hypothetical demand and supply equations explain what would happen ifgovernment imposes an indirect tax (assume a value) on the product. Find the newequilibrium, change in consumer and producer surplus and amount of governmentrevenue and DWL. Under what conditions consumers will bear of the tax burden? Underwhat conditions producers will bear of the tax burden?
Suppose the demand for football tickets is QD=360-10P and the market supply is QS=20P. a) What price would firms receive after the tax is imposed & What share of the tax is borne by the consumers? b) What share of the tax is borne by the sellers? & What can you say about relative elasticities of demand and supply based on your answers in tax is borne by the consumers and tax is borne by the sellers? c) Calculate tax revenue collected by the government from this tax.
The initial equilibrium is e, where the linear supply curve intersects the linear demand curve. Show the welfare effects of imposing a specific tax τ. Now suppose the demand curve becomes flatter, but still goes through pointe, so that it is more elastic at e than originally. Discuss how the tax affects the equilibrium, CS, PS, welfare, and DWL differently than with the original demand curve.
If the goverment wants to raise tax revenue and shift most of the tax burden to the consumers, it wouldimpose a tax on a good with a:a) flat (elastic) demand curve and a steep (inelastic) supply curve. b) steep (inelastic) demand curve and a flat (elastic) supply curve. c) steep (inelastic) demand curve and steep (inelastic) supply curve. d) flat (elastic) demand curve and a flat (elastic) supply curve.
Consider a market with the following demand and supply curves: Q (p) = 20 – 2P Q (p) = - 10 + 3P (b)Suppose the government imposed a sales tax of $0.80 per unit of output sold, find the price paid by the consumer, the price received by the supplier, the equilibrium quantity transacted, and the total tax revenue received by the government. (c)What do you think is the purpose for such tax policy? In your explanation, include a brief discussion of the importance of price elasticity of demand in the choice of commodities to be taxed in order to achieve specific policy goal(s).
By using only one graph, show and explain who bears the burden and excess burden of an excise tax(specific tax) in a market assuming that supply and demand curve have the same elasticity by usingpartial equilibrium analysis thanks
Which of the following statement is true about tax? A. The burden shared by consumers and producers doesn’t change regardless of which party the tax is imposed onB. Market functions less efficiently, while not all suffer from a lossC. Both supply and demand curve have something to do with tax incidenceD. all of the above
Whichofthefollowingstatementsis(are)correct? (x) A payroll tax is a tax on the wages that a firm pays its workers and in the United States the payroll tax is also referred to as a social insurance tax. (y) The payroll tax differs from the individual income tax in the U.S. because the payroll tax is primarily earmarked to pay for Social Security and Medicare. (z) Taxes on specific goods such as cigarettes, gasoline, alcoholic beverages and tires are called excise taxes. (x), (y) and (z) (x) and (y) only (x) and (z) only (y) and (z) only (x) only
B1. 1. For each of the markets and taxes described below, draw a generic graph, fully labelled, that reflects the market’s elasticities of supply and demand use the wedge method to show in a general way the levels of the Pb and Ps that the tax causes (or would cause) on the market explain which side of the market bears (or would bear) most of the burden of the tax and which side “escapes.” (a) The Michigan market for cigarettes, where demand is highly inelastic and supply is highly elastic, and where before tax the equilibrium price is $5.50 per pack. A combined federal and state tax of $3 per pack is imposed. (b) The market for restaurant meals on 8th Street in Holland, where supply is inelastic and demand is elastic, the current equilibrium price is $18, and the City of Holland is considering a $7 tax per meal served. (c) The US market for domestic air travel, where ES and |ED| = 1.5, and average fares in the absence of taxes are $265. A $70 federal tax is imposed. (d) For…
