If you’ve ever travelled to another country, such asGermany, you may have noticed that the price on aproduct is the total amount you actually pay when youcheck out. That is, no sales tax is added to the purchaseprice at the checkout as it is in the United States. That isbecause many countries impose a value added tax (VAT).In a small group, research value added taxes and debate whether or not such taxes benefit consumers. Do mar-keters support or dislike these types of taxes?
Question 2: Suppose NAWEC charges D5 for every kilowatt hour of electricity for the first 1000 used in a month and D7.5 for each extra. Kilowatt hour after that. Draw the budget constraint for George who face this price schedule. Discuss why many Gambian may choose to consume exactly 1,000 kilowatt hour. Question 3 Suppose an individual consumes three items: steak, lettuce, and tomatoes. If we were interested only in examining this person’s steak purchases, we might group lettuce and tomatoes into a single composite good called ‘‘salad.’’ Suppose also that this person always makes salad by combining two units of lettuce with one unit of tomato. How would you define a unit of ‘‘salad’’ to show (along with steak) on a two-good graph? How does the price of salad (PS) relate to the price of lettuce (PL) and the price of tomatoes (PT)? What is this person’s budget constraint for steak and salad? Would a doubling of the price of steak, the price of lettuce, the price of tomatoes, and this…
Consider your decision about how many hours towork.a. Draw your budget constraint assuming thatyou pay no taxes on your income. On the samediagram, draw another budget constraintassuming that you pay a 15 percent income tax.b. Show how the tax might lead you to work morehours, fewer hours, or the same number of hours.Explain.
suppose the demand and supply equation for eggs in market is: Qd= 100-2p; Qs= 10+40p Complete the given table Graphically show the equilibrium Find PED: for 0.5 to 1.5 and 2.5 to 1.0 What happened to the eggs market if Government increases tax on poultry farm business and on the other hand consumer decreases the consumption of eggs because of reeducation in their income level (show and explain graphically) Price 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 Qd Qs
6 Assume you can work as many hoursyou wish at £12 per hour (net of tax). If you do not work you have noincome. You have no ability to borrow or lend, so your consumption,c , is simply equal to your income. d) Now assume that you receive an income of £140 per week from anunknown benefactor. Show the impact on your feasible set and show anew optimal choice in which consumption increases but labour supplydecreases. Using the concept of the marginal rate of substitution, explainwhy this is a likely outcome. Please illustrate on a diagram so I can better understand it please thank you.
Q3. Suppose the market wage is w, Tom's parents give him N dollars per month, and Tom has T hours per month to distribute between leisure and working, assume leisure is a normal good. a) Please graph Tom's income constraint in a figure with the consumption on the vertical axis and leisure on the horizontal axis. Please clearly label all the intercepts and slope in the graph. b) Suppose the market wage increases from w to w1, please draw the new constraint curve in the same graph in a) c) i)Associated with the wage increase in b), there is an overall increase of working hours for Tom. what effects are associated Tom's increasing working hours, please interpret/explain each effect and its direction carefully. ii)Please show the affects you discussed from c) in the same graph of a) on horizonal axis and label clearly.
WHY DID YOU COPY ANSWERS FROM PREVIOUS " QUESTION 2". I JUST SEND YOU TWO QUESTION, NOT a,b,c. THERE IS NO ANSWE FOR MY 2 QUESTIONS. ANSWER THESE TWO QUESTION IMMIDEATELLY. THIS IS FOR MATHEMATICAL ECONOMIC CLASS Question (2): The market for disposable cell phones: Q = 2300 – 16p and Q = 1850 + 14p. Suppose that more consumers prefer the disposable cell phone over the smart phone because the disposable cell phone is more durable than the smart phone. This latest news comes after the fact that firms that manufacture disposable cell phones have the latest technology integrated into their production facilities. What will be the market effect? Going back to question (d), suppose that the price of a disposable cell phone is now set at $11.75. How many disposable cell phones will be demanded by consumers? Whichever curve you’ve determined should be shifted, derive the new function.

Monthly income = salary of 1200 and a gov welfare payment of 800 Y= 2000 Needs to use this income for food and goods quantity of food = qf quantity of goods= qd Price of food = 1 Price of goods = 2 1) Draw budget line, qf on vertical axis and qd on horizontal one 2) The welfare payment is now given in the form of food stamps. 1200 can be spent on food and other goods, food stamps can only be used to purchase food. The prices of food and other goods remain the same. budget line with the food stamps, measuring on the vertical axis and on the horizontal axis. Label all critical points on the budget line. Show you are at least as well off under the cash welfare payment as under the food stamps. Here is how: Depict the budget lines in 1. and 2a. in a single diagram and superimpose indifference curve(s) to show the optimal consumption bundle(s). You will need two such diagrams to illustrate two different cases: optimal consumption bundle is the same under the cash welfare…
