the subsidy argued that the government was unable to clearly articulate how this would
benefit Nigerians, stating, “They made economic arguments that were abstract at best and
nonsensical at worst." See if you can do a better job at explaining the rationale for removing
such a subsidy. How are people better off without the subsidy?

Graph the market below. b) Suppose the government comes in and adds a tax on each box of cigarettes sold and makes consumers pay for this tax (when they buy the good). The new demand curve with tax is Q = 5000 – 20(P + 10). Graph the situation below.

Scarcity creates shortages in the long run. Scarcity is unavoidable but shortages are not. Shortages are the basic cause of scarcity. Scarcity is relative while shortages are absolute. Scarcity and shortage cannot exist simultaneously. QUESTION 38 If the quantity of gasoline supplied currently exceeds the quantity demanded, O gasoline is no longer a scarce good. Othere is a surplus of gasoline. the price of gasoline would tend to remain unchanged. all of the above are true. none of the above is true.arrow_forward
