Assume that the demand function for a commodity is given by Qd = 3 – 0.1P and that the supply function is given by Qs = 1 + 0.05P, where P is the price, Qd is the quantity demanded and Qs is the quantity supplied. Suppose the government levies a tax of t cedis per unit sold. If the market is in equilibrium and the tax is increased, show how the price, quantity and tax revenue will change once the new equilibrium has been attained.
Suppose that the demand for a good is described by the inverse demand function p = 10 - 3q and the supply of the good is given by the inverse supply function p = 2 + 2 q: Q:Determine the incidence of the tax, who bears what shares of the tax (in percentage)?
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 Demand and Supply equation after the tax. (i) Supply equation (ii) Demand equation
Suppose the market demand for milk is Qd = 40 – 4P Where Qd is millions of gallons demanded and P is price per gallon. Suppose the market supply for milk is Qs = - 40/3 + 20/3P Suppose a tax of $1 per gallon of milk is imposed in this market. What is the new price paid by consumers and What is the quantity of milk sold? *Hint: It does not matter if the tax is collected from purchasers or sellers.

Solve for the new equilibrium quantity and price after the tax is imposed.b. How much will the consumer pay for the good (price)?c. How much will the producer sell for this good (price)?d. What is the amount of total tax revenues?e. Who bears the burden of tax? Why?f. Calculate the elasticity of demand and supply to validate your answer in letter e. Discuss youranswers.
Consider the labor market. Suppose that the supply of labor is = 2 + H/2 and the demand for W=52−2H. Where W is wage and is hours worked. Now suppose that the government levies a $5 per hour payroll tax on buyers of labor (firms). Determine the worker (supplier) and firm (buyer) tax burdens. Determine the deadweight loss associated with this payroll tax.
Suppose legislation is passed stating that a per unit tax of $.50 per gallon of gasoline must be paid by energy suppliers. Assuming demand for gasoline is more inelastic than supply of gasoline, then the economic burden of this tax? a. Will be equally experienced by energy suppliers and consumers. b. Gasoline prices will be disrupted by the tax and this disruption will harm consumers more than energy suppliers. c. Gasoline prices will be disrupted by the tax but this disruption will harm only energy suppliers since they are ordered by law to pay the tax. d. Gasoline prices will be disrupted by the tax and this disruption will harm suppliers more so than consumers.
If a 10 cent tax is imposed on a supply curve with the function Qs = P - 2, the function representing the Qs + Tax line would be Select one: a. Qs+Tax = 2P - 9 b. Qs+Tax = P - 2.10 c. Qs+Tax = 2P - 7 d. Qs+Tax = P - 1.90
Suppose demand is given by ??(?) = 1 – ? and supply ??(?) = ?, with prices in dollars. If buyers pay a 10 cent tax, what is the after tax demand? Do the same computations as the previous exercise and show that the outcomes are the same. Suppose both demand and supply are linear, ??=?−? and ??=?+?p . A quantity tax is a tax that has a constant value for every unit bought or sold. Determine the new equilibrium supply price ?? and demand price ?? when a quantity tax of amount t is applied. The Manning Company has two factories, one that makes roof trusses, and one that makes cabinets. With? workers, the roof factory produces trusses per day. With n workers, the cabinet plant produces 5. The Manning Company has 400 workers to use in the two factories. Graph the production possibilities frontier.
