In a market where the supply curve is perfectly inelastic how does an excise tax affect the price paid by consumers and the quantity bought and sold?
Continuos income streams(total value, present value,future value) Consumers surplus and producers surplus A national study of U.S. colleges results in a demand equation q=20000-2p where q is the enrollment at a public college or university and p is the average annual tuition (plus fees) it charges. Officials at ESU have developed a policy to guide the number of students it will accept at a tuition level of p dollars. It is summarized in the equation q=7,500=0.5p. find the quilibruim tuition price p. find the consumers surplus for price p. find the producers surplus for pruce p. Find the total social gain.
analysis of the video poker market in Rye shows demand by the patrons is Qd=200-2P and the supply is Qs=2P now suppose that the city of Rye passes a law that requires all video poker arcades to contribute m cents to a city charitable fund for each game played on there machines, this is essentially a excise tax. In a diagram show the effect of the new law on the market ( Do not try to give a algebraic solution, just show what happens graphically and describe. Please illustrate how the tax of m shifts the specific curves. In the approach of modeling taxes and subsidies. The direction of the shift carries a specific meaning in economics. graphically indicate the incidence of taxation on consumers as well as arcade owners. Explain what incidence of taxation is and what the graph tells you the jncidence of this case.
Country Z produces and consumes only two products: milk and bread. The price elasticity of demand ofbread is Ed = −0.1 = 0.1 and the price elasticity of demand of wheat is Ed = −2 = 2The government of country Z needs a significant amount of fund to tackle the current coronavirussituation. To obtain the fund, they have decided to impose a $ 5 tax on either the sellers of rice or thesellers of wheat. Currently, both the equilibrium prices of wheat and rice are $20 per unit respectively.The equilibrium quantities of wheat and rice are 10,000 units (per day) respectively.As the economic advisor of country Z, what would you advise the government of country Z. Whichproduct should they tax to obtain the fund to tackle the coronavirus situation? Discuss in detail using theModel of Demand and Supply (your answer should include two well labeled graphs).
Continue your analysis of the video poker market in Cedar Rapids: demand by patrons for the games (in thousands per week) is Qd = 180 - 4P and the supply is Qs = 2P - 30 where P is the price in cents charged to play a game. Now suppose that the city of Cedar Rapids passes a new law which requires that all video poker arcades contribute m cents to a city charitable fund for each game played on their machines. This is, essentially, an excise tax. In a new diagram, show the effect of the new law on the market and explain this effect. (Do not try to give an algebraic solution; just show what happens graphically and provide a description. Please be sure to illustrate how the tax of m cents shifts a specific curve, consistent with the approach we’ve taken in this course in modeling taxes and subsidies. Clearly indicate the distance by which the curve has shifted. Recall that the direction of the shift carries a specific meaning in economics for depicting taxation/subsidies.) Graphically…
Sally Henin has a price elasticity of demand for gasoline of -0.8. Her income elasticity for gasoline is 0.5. Sally's current income is $40,000 per year. Sally currently spends $800 per year on gasoline. The price of gasoline is currently $1.00 per gallon. A contemplated excise tax on gasoline will cause the price of gasoline to rise to $1.40. What impact will the tax have on Sally's consumption of gasoline? Since the purpose of the tax is only to discourage gasoline consumption, Congress is considering a $200 income tax rebate to lessen the burden of the gasoline tax. What impact will the rebates have on Sally's consumption of gasoline? Assume that both the tax and rebate are implemented. Will Sally be worse off or better off?
Consider a public policy aimed at smoking. 1. The government commissioned a research firm, Super Consulting, to conduct a study on the market demand for cigarettes in Malaysia. The firm reported that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 0.4. If a pack of cigarettes costs $2 and the government wants to reduce smoking by 20 percent, by how much should it increase the price? 2. If the government permanently increases the price of cigarettes, will the policy have a larger effect on smoking after 1 year from now or 5 years from now? Explain 3.Super Consulting also found that teenagers have higher price elasticity than adults. Why might this be true? Explain 4. Outline and discuss the appropriate economic policies that can be implemented to reduce smoking.
Use the concept of Price Elasticity of Demand to explain why the public policy recommendation of raising taxes on cigarettes causes State revenues to rise while also effectively deterring smoking among young people. Be sure to consider availability of substitutes and the effect of the percentage spent of each buyer’s budget when formulating a response. Who bears the brunt of the tax – the consumer or the producer? Are there any potential negative side effects of increasing taxes on cigarettes?

The Australian government have suggested that they might need to increase GST to help fund the COVID-19 rescue package. GST is a tax on goods and services usually paid at the point of sale. Consider the market for bread. Suppose a loaf costs $4.15 and includes a 15-cent tax per loaf. 2. What determines how the tax burden is shared between buyers and sellers?
2. When airfares between Santa Rosa and Los Angeles averages $69, the quantity consumed is 42,500 tickets. One day, an airline tax is levied equal to $10.00 and output falls to 37,000 tickets. Assume that air travelers end up paying 75% of the tax. Total expenditures or sales of air travel will be____. Total revenues generated by airlines will be _____ Total tax revenue generated by the government will be ____ Total taxes paid by air travelers will be ____ Total taxes paid by airlines will be ____ Calculate the price elasticity of demand and & interpret coefficient. Use the general formula, not the mid point formula Calculate the price elasticity of supply and interpret coefficient. Use the general formula, not the mid point formula. How do total sales in the airline market before and after the tax support your answer in (n) and/or (o)?
