Q^d= 9.5 - 2p Q^s= 0.6p Tax. Suppose that the government imposes a tax equal to T = 0.50 which buyers must pay for every donut they purchase. (a) How does this tax change the supply and/or demand curve for donuts? (b) Solve for the new equilibrium price and quantity of donuts. Give the price paid by the buyer and the price received by the seller. (c) Draw a single supply and demand diagram that compares the equilibrium with and without the tax. Be sure to indicate the equilibrium quantity of donuts sold as well as the price paid by buyers and the price received by sellers in each case. On the same diagram, indicate the areas which represent consumer and producer surplus, tax revenue and the deadweight loss arising from this tax. (d) Calculate the amount of producer and consumer surplus at this new equilibrium price and quantity, as well as the amount of tax revenue and the deadweight loss. (e) Is the total surplus higher, lower, or the same as in question one? Give an…

Suppose the government removes a tax on buyers of a good and levies a tax ofthe same size on sellers of the good. How does this change in tax policy affectthe price that buyers pay sellers for this good, the amount buyers are out ofpocket including the tax, the amount sellers receive net of tax, and the quantityof the good sold?

5. Draw supply and demand curve and answer the following questions: (a) Suppose the supply of tobacco is elastic and the demand for tobacco is inelas- tic. If an excise tax is levied on the suppliers of tobacco, will the incidence of the tax fall mostly on consumers or mostly on producers? (b) If the demand is relatively more inelastic than before, will the DWL rise or fall? Will tax revenue from the tobacco tax fall or rise? (You must draw the supply and demand curve) Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.
Suppose that the government imposes a tax on heating oil.Would the deadweight loss of this tax likely be greater in the first year after it is imposed or in the fifth year? Would the tax revenue collected from this tax likely be greater in the first year after it is imposed or in the fifth year? A. The deadweight loss and tax revenue would both be greater in the first year than the fifth. B. The deadweight loss would be greater in the first year than the fifth, but the tax revenue would be greater in the fifth year than the first. C. The deadweight loss would be greater in the fifth year than the first, but the tax revenue would be greater in the first year than the fifth. D. The deadweight loss and tax revenue would both be greater in the fifth year.
Don't use chatgpt and make sure you include the graphs needed (a) Suppose in a competitive market, the market demand curve for salt is infinitelyinelastic. What is the impact of a per-unit tax (i.e. a specific tax) on the priceof salt that consumers pay?(b) Suppose the demand curve for butter is Q = 50 − 3P and the supply curve isQ = 2P. Suppose the government announces a per-unit tax of 1 on the priceof butter. Tax on butter can be seen as a ’fat tax’. What is the overall effectof a fat tax on the consumers? (c) If you were a policymaker and wanted to promote a fat tax in the UK, whatwould you cover in your policy campaign?

Suppose that the government decides to charge cola consumers an excise tax. Before the tax, 12 million cases of cola are sold every month at a price of $3.50 per case. After the tax, 6million cases of cola are sold every month; consumers pay $4.00 per case and producers receive $2.00 per case. a. What is the excise tax on cola?b. On whom does the incidence of the tax fall more heavily?c. How much government revenue will be generated by the excise tax?
Let Q=2P be supply and Q=20-2P be demand. With a tax of 2 the price received by the producer is........ With this question, I know the price received by tge consumer is 6 becuase I just plug the new equilibrium quantity into the demand equation. I reworked all the problems so that P(supply)=1/2Q and P(demand)=10-1/2Q and P(tax)=1/2Q+2. My only question is do I plug the new equilibirum quantity into the supply equaiton with or wihtout the tax? (P=1/2Q or P=1/2Q+2)? I might just be overthinking it, but I just want to double check becuase so I can get a solid understanding of this.
