Subsidies, unlike taxes, tend to increase the quantities of goods and/or services traded and consumers tend to pay a lower price for the good. From this perspective, the benefits for consumers are evident, while the effects for producers are not so conclusive. In this context, what would be the effect(s) that subsidies have on producers?I. Subsidies positively affect the quantity supplied, but the producer must pay the subsidy.II. Market prices increase.III. Producers increase the quantity offered, but the price they charge is the one that corresponds according to their supply function.Select one:a. II and IIIb. III onlyc. I, II and IIId. I and IIIe.

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.

The government of a State has been experiencing an increase in number of obesity cases. Research suggests an increase in consumption of a particular fast food item is responsible for high number of obesity cases. As a result, the government of that State is considering an imposition of $1 tax. Monthly demand and supply for this good are QD=21-1P and QS= -1+1P respectively. Draw the demand and Supply curve for fast food before the tax is imposed. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity, consumer and producer surplus, and label them on the graph. Calculate the price elasticity of demand and supply for fast food. If the State government imposes a tax, who will bear the most of the burden of the tax? Suppose that the State government finally imposes a $1 tax on fast food. What will the new equilibrium price and quantity? Include the tax on your graph.
