- (a) Define price ceiling and price floor and give an example of each. Which leads to a shortage? Which leads to a surplus? Why? (b) Suppose the government removes a tax on buyers of a good and levies a tax of the same size on sellers of the good. How does this change in tax policy affect the price that buyers pay sellers for this good, the amount buyers are out of pocket (including any tax payments they make), the amount sellers receive (net of any tax payments they make), and the quantity of the good sold?Suppose the government puts a tax on a market with inelastic supply and elastic demand, then----O. it is impossible to determine how the burden of the tax will be shared.O. sellers will bear most of the burden of the tax.O. the burden of the tax will be shared equally between buyers and sellers.O. buyers will bear most of the burden of the tax. Explain pleaseSuppose that the government has decided to place a $2 per litre tax on soft drinks. In this market, assuming that demand and supply curve have roughly the same responsiveness at their point of intersection, how is the incidence of the tax burden split between consumers and producers? Assuming next that the demand curve is less elastic. How does the tax incidence change?
- 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.Suppose that before tax was imposed 400 million gallons of gasoline was supplied at $3.00 per gallon.a. What happens when government imposes a tax of 60 cents per gallon on sellers? b. How would such a tax affect the market for gasoline i.e. what is the new equilibrium? c. On whom does the incidence of the tax fall more heavily? d. How much government revenue will be generated by the excise tax? e. What happens when government imposes a tax of 60 cents per gallon on buyers? f. How would such a tax affect the market for gasoline i.e. what is the new equilibrium?Suppose that a market is described by the following supply and demand equations:Qs=2PQD=300-Pa.Solve for the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity.b.Solve that a tax of T is placed on buyers,so the new denad equation is QD=300-(P+T).Solve for the new equilibrium.What happens to the price receive by sellers,the price paid by buyers.and the quantity sold?c.Tax revenue is TxQ.Use your answer from part(b)to solve for tax revenue as a function of T.Graph this relationship for T between 0 and 300.d.The dead weight loss of a tax is the area of a triangle between supply and demand curves.Recalling that the area of the triangle is 1/2xbasexheight,solve for the dead weight loss as afunction of T.Graph this relationship for T between 0 and 300.e.The government now levies a tax of $200per unit on this good.Is this a good policy?Why or why not?Can you propose a better policy?
- 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 the government removes a tax on buyers ofa good and levies a tax of the same size on sellers ofthe good. How does this change in tax policy affectthe price that buyers pay sellers for this good, theamount buyers are out of pocket (including any taxpayments they make), the amount sellers receive (netof any tax payments they make), and the quantity ofthe good sold?In a particular market, the supply is elastic and demand is inelastic. If a tax is imposed on the sellers, what will happen to the equilibrium price and output? Who will bear a greater burden of the tax and why? Explain and illustrate. Graphically show the tax burdens, the change in producers surplus and consumers surplus as well as the deadweight loss due to the tax.
- 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…For this question, the demand is P = 145 - 3Q & supply is P = 35 + 2Q. To enable more citizens to buy more gasoline, the Government decides to give gasoline producers a subsidy of $5 per unit- Using the supply and demande quations from #2. What price will consumer's pay and how much gasoline will they buy (note the answersm ay be fractions or in decimal points)? How much will the Government spend on the subsidy? What will be the change in producer surplus?Suppose the market for cigarette is competitive. An economist estimates the price elasticity of demand and supply for cigarette are -0.6 and 0.8 respectively. a. Suppose the government imposes a per-unit tax on the cigarette sellers. Who, buyers or sellers, would share a heavier tax burden? Explain your answers without calculation. b. Suppose the government imposes a per-unit tax of $40 on the cigarette sellers. By how much would buyers and sellers of cigarettes share the tax burden respectively? Show your calculation. c. Suppose many small sellers, such as newsstands, complain the heavy tax burden borne by them. Would it be better to these small sellers if the government decides to impose a $20 per-unit tax on both the buyers and the sellers of cigarette? Explain.
