Many governments subsidise electric vehicles. Draw two sup- ply and demand diagrams (one for electric vehicles and one for petrol- powered vehicles) to show the impact of an electric vehicle subsidy. As- sume that an increase in electric vehicles sales reduces petrol powered vehicles by the same amount. On these diagrams show: (a) The quantity of both types of vehicles before the subsidy. (b) The quantity of both types of vehicles after the subsidy. (c) The deadweight losses in both markets before and after the subsidy. 4. is a fuel excise or an electric vehicle subsidy a better policy response to address externalities associated with driving? Your answer should draw on the answers above and could also include: Which policy is simpler to administer. How the two policies impact use of other forms of transport (like public transport or riding a bike). Which policy is fairer.

•A market has the market supply equation as P = ½Q andthe demand equation as P = 6 ½Q, where P is price indollars and Q is the quantity.•••(a) Solve for the equilibrium price, the equilibrium quantity,the consumer surplus and the producer surplus in themarket. Support your answers with a suitable marketdiagram.•••(b) If there is a price ceiling of $2, compute the consumersurplus, producer surplus and the deadweight loss in themarket. Support your answers with a suitable marketdiagram.

.12) In the effort to reduce alcohol consumption, the government is considering a $1 tax on each gallon of liquor sold. The legal incidence of the tax will be on producers. Suppose the demand for alcohol is described by Q D = 500,000 – 20,000*P where Q D is quantity and P is price per gallon (NOTE: the inverse demand curve would be P = 25 – 0.00005*Q D ). The supply curve is described at Q S = 30,000*P (NOTE: This would make the MC curve MC = (1/30,000)*Q S ). a. Draw the supply and demand curves before the tax is imposed. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity. b. Add the tax to the supply curve. Calculate the new price per gallon consumers pay, the price per gallon producers receive, and the new equilibrium quantity. c. Calculate the amount of revenue the tax generates. How much of the tax is paid by consumers? How much of the tax is paid by producers? d. Calculate the elasticity of demand at the original equilibrium price. Calculate the elasticity of supply at the original…

Calculate the elasticity of supply at the original equilibrium price. e. Calculate the deadweight loss of the tax. f. Suppose that if you were to disaggregate the market demand into young drinkers and old drinkers you would find that the demand for alcohol is more elastic among young drinkers than old drinkers. Which group of drinkers will change their behavior more? Which group of drinkers will bear the bigger burden of the proportion of the tax that…

On a generic supply-demand graph, show the deadweight loss ( DWL) of a price ceiling that is placed below the equilibrium price for a product (  you should assume that there are NO externalities associated with the product).

Suppose the demand and the supply for lumber (harvested wood processed in a sawmill) used for construction in Australia are given byQD =100 – 2PQS = 1/2PAssume also that the market is perfectly competitive. the government introduces a subsidy of s=5 per unit of lumber transacted in the market. Calculate the deadweight loss caused by the subsidy and illustrate it in a graph. Who benefits more from the subsidy, consumers or producers? Why?

6) If Mark sells the profit-maximizing quantity, what would the deadweight loss created by the negative externality be?

Suppose that the demand curve for cigarettes in Euroland is given by QD = 26.9 − 1.71P , and that the supply curve is given by QS = 9.62 + 2.13P. The equilibrium price is €4.50 and the equilbrium quantity is 19.2.The government is thinking about imposing a tax of €0.40 on cigarettes.The price that suppliers will receive after the tax is €4.10€4.32€4.72€4.50

2. Consider a competitive market characterized by the following marketdemand and supply curves.Qd=10000-10P Qs=40P-2000If the government enacts a binding price floor at 500, calculate the resultingconsumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss.Hint: a diagram might help. Show your work.
