Suppose the supply of a good is given by the equation QS=600P−1,200 , and the demand for the good is given by the equation QD=1,600−200P , where quantity (Q) is measured in millions of units and price (P) is measured in dollars per unit. The government decides to levy an excise tax of $2.00 per unit on the good, to be paid by the seller. Calculate the value of each of the following, before the tax and after the tax, to complete the table that follows: 1. The equilibrium quantity produced 2. The equilibrium price consumers pay for the good 3. The price received by sellers Before Tax After Tax Equilibrium Quantity (Millions of units) Equilibrium Price per Unit Paid by Consumers Price per Unit Received by Sellers Given the information you calculated in the preceding table, the tax incidence on consumers is per unit of the good, and the tax incidence on producers is per unit of the good. The government receives in tax revenue from levying an excise tax of $2.00 per unit on this good. True…
based on the attached equation find:(a) Equilbrium price before the tax(b) Equilbrium quanity before tax
Suppose that a market is described by the following supply and demand equations: QS= 2P QD= 300 - P a. Solve for the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity. b. Suppose that a tax of T is placed on buyers, so the new demand equation is QD= 300 - (P + 1) Solve for the new equilibrium. What happens to the price received by sellers, the price paid by buyers, and the quantity sold? c. Tax revenue is Tx Q. 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 deadweight loss of a tax is the area of the triangle between the supply and demand curves. Recalling that the area of a triangle is 1/2 x base x height, solve for deadweight loss as a function of T.Graph this relationship for T between 0 and 300. (Hint Looking sideways, the base of the deadweight loss triangle is T, and the height is the difference between the quantity sold with the tax and the quantity sold without the tax.) e. The government now…
Given the following information Qd = 240 – SP Qs = P Where Qd is the quantity demand, Qs is the quantity supplied and P is the price. Suppose the government decides to impose a tax of $12 per unit on sellers in this market. Determine (i) Quantity after tax
Consider the following market supply and demand information for cigarettes: Price ($) Demand for Cigarettes (in million packs per week) $2 12 3 10 4 8 5 6 6 4 7 2 and the supply is 8,000,000 cigarette packs per week. Now suppose that the government mandates a $1 excise tax per pack on the buyers of cigarettes. Who bears the economic incidence (tax burden) of the excise tax?…
If the government imposes a unit sales tax (i.e., $ tax per unit sold) on a product, which one, “demand or supply” will shift? Increase or decrease? Will the new tax cause “disequilibrium”? Please state clearly about the shift (leftward or rightward) and the equilibrium price and quantity change. No graph is required.
Question 2 Given the following information Qd = 240 – SP Qs = P Where Qd is the quantity demand, Qs is the quantity supplied and P is the price. Suppose the government decides to impose a tax of $12 per unit on sellers in this market. Determine Buyer’s price after the tax.
Suppose you are given the following information: Qs = 100 + 3P Qd = 400 – 2P where Qs is the quantity supplied, Qd is the quantity demanded and P is price. a. From this information compute equilibrium price and quantity. b. Now suppose that a tax is placed on buyers so that Qd = 400 – (2P + T) where T is taxes. If T = 15, solve for the new equilibrium price and quantity. (Note: You are solving for the equilibrium price for sellers and buyers). c. The income elasticity of Abigail’s demand for CDs is 0,75.

Taxes & Subsidies Suppose that, in order to incentivize drivers to switch to electric vehicles, a government imposes a tax to be added to the purchase price of gasoline cars and a subsidy (discount voucher) on the purchase of electric cars. You can assume whatever you think is reasonable about the demand and supply elasticities to prices. Illustrate the likely effects of those policies using graphs. Discuss: What happens to the quantity of gasoline and electric cars in equilibrium? Who bears the burden of the tax, and who enjoys the subsidy in your model (between producers and consumers)? As a policymaker, do you want demand and supply curves to be more or less price elastic for the policy to work?
