Many studies on rats and mice have established that charred meat grilled over hot coals causes cancer. Since the government cannot easily regulate home cooking methods, an alternative method has been proposed to discourage the consumption of barbecued meat. The proposal is to place a 100 percent tax at the retail level on charcoal briquets. Suppose the daily demand for charcoal was P= 100-Q/10 and the supply was P= 1 + Q./100 where P is in dollars per bag and Q is the number of 20 lb bags of charcoal sold weekly. a. What is the before and after - tax price of charcoal? b. Graph and show the deadweight loss due to the tax c. Why might this deadweight loss over estimate the loss to society from this tax?
In a market with a price ceiling, the price is: Group of answer choices No answer text provided. actually the equilibrium price because the price ceiling has no effect on the market. set lower than the equilibrium price and represents the government mandated maximum price. set higher than the equilibrium price and represents the government mandated maximum price.
Price per dozen Dozens of doughnuts Dozens of doughnuts demanded supplied $5.00 12,000 24,000 4.25 15,000 21,000 3.50 18,000 18,000 2.75 21,000 15,000 2.00 25,000 10,000 10. Suppose that a tax of $1.50 per dozen is levied by the government on producers. What is the new equilibrium quantity? What is the new equilibrium price?
The U.S. government provides subsidies for a variety of agricultural products. Suppose the demand for and supply of corn is as indicated in the accompanying graph. (is on the picture) a. In the absence of government involvement in the market, the equilibrium price is _______________ per bushel, and the equilibrium quantity is ________billion bushels. (completed) b. Suppose the government provides a $2 per unit subsidy for suppliers of corn. In the graph, shift one or both curves to show the effect of the subsidy. (graph) c. As a result of the subsidy, consumers will pay___________ per bushel, and sellers will receive ________ per bushel. (completed)
In a competitive market, the following supply and demand equations are given: Supply P = 5 + 0.36Q Demand P = 100 - 0.04Q, where P represents price per unit in dollars, and Q represents rate of sales in units per Year. 1. I. Determine the equilibrium price and sales rate. Determine the deadweight loss that would result if the government were to impose a price ceiling of £40 per unit.
The market for a particular consumer good has a demand function given by: q = 24 - p and supply given by p = q + q^2, where q is the quantity and p is the price. Question: If the government decided not to set the price, but instead imposed a tax on production of $1 per unit, effectively increasing the cost to supply by $1 dollar per unit for every level of quantity supplied, what would the new equilibrium quantity be?
Consider the market for commercial fans. The following graph shows the demand and supply for commercial fans before the government imposes any taxes. First, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity of commercial fans in the absence of a tax. Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer surplus (CS) at the equilibrium price. Next, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing total producer surplus (PS) at the equilibrium price. Complete the following table by using the previous graphs to determine the values of consumer and producer surplus before the tax, and consumer surplus, producer surplus, tax revenue, and deadweight loss after the tax. Note: You can determine the areas of different portions of the graph by selecting the relevant area. Before Tax After Tax (Dollars) (Dollars) Before Tax (Dollars)…
