Suppose the government imposes an excise tax on the production of a good produced in a perfectly competitive market that was in long run equilibrium. Draw side by side market and firm graphs showing the short run impact on the firm and the market.
Explain with diagrams how a perfectly competitive industry will respond at both the industry and firm levels to a fall in wages in both the short run and the long run.
Suppose all firms in a perfectly competitive market structure are in long-runequilibrium. Then demand for the firms’ product increases. Initially, price andeconomic profits rise. Soon afterward, the government decides to tax most (but not all) of the economic profits, arguing that the firms in the industry did not earn the profits. Rather, the profits were simply the result of an increase in demand. What effect, if any, will the tax have on market adjustment?
How would you explain allocative efficiency in a purely competitive market structure? Group of answer choices Firms produce the quantity where the price consumers pay is less than the cost to society to produce it. Firms produce that quantity where the price consumers pay equals the cost to society to produce it. Allocative efficiency is a concept involving only two goods, so it cannot be applied to a perfectly competitive market.. Firms ensure that they produce enough quantity so that everyone who wishes to buy the product can do so.
Consider a perfectly newspaper market with identical firms, each with the usual shaped cost curves. (1) The government imposes a (permanent) $2 per-newspaper subsidy on the market. What is the impact of the subsidy on the newspaper market? Make sure to distinguish between the short-run and the long-run impacts. (2) If demand permanently decreases, what is the impact on the newspaper market? Make sure to distinguish between the short-run and the long-run impacts.
What happens to the amount of consumer surplus and producer surplus when the supply of scarves suddenly declines (shifts left)? Group of answer choices Consumer surplus is unchanged and producer surplus is unchanged. Consumer surplus declines and producer surplus is unchanged. Producer surplus increases and consumer surplus increases. Producer surplus declines and consumer surplus is unchanged. Consumer surplus declines and producer surplus declines.

Effect of tax on economic activity Suppose a per unit tax is imposed on perfectly competitive, profit-maximising firms that operate in an increasing-cost industry. What would happen to the market price, market output, the number of firms in the industry, output and profit of each firm in the short run? Illustrate on a graph. Assume that firms have upward-sloping marginal cost curve.Repeat your analysis for the long run. Compare the new long run equilibrium to the short run equilibrium and to the original long run equilibrium (before tax).
