B. Supposed a $ 12 excise tax is imposed on the good. Determine the new equilibrium price and quantity
C. How much tax revenue does the government earn with the $12 tax
Suppose demand and supply are given by: (LO3, LO4)Qx d = 14 − 1/2Px and Qx s = 1/4Px − 1c. How much tax revenue does the government earn with the $12 tax when the new equilibrium quantity is 2 units after tax .
Consider the market for product ABC, when the price is at Php 12, quantity demanded is 6 units and quantity supplied is 3 units. An eight pesos increase in the price would change quantity demanded by 2 units and quantity supplied by 4 units.

The United States currently imports all of its coffee. The annual demand for coffee by U.S. consumers is given by the demand curve Q = 250 – 10P, where Q is quantity (in millions of pounds) and P is the market price per pound of coffee. World producers can harvest and ship coffee to U.S. distributors at a constant marginal (= average) cost of $8 per pound. U.S. distributors can in turn distribute coffee for a constant $2 per pound. The U.S. coffee market is competitive. Congress is considering a tariff on coffee imports of $2 per pound. a. If there is no tariff, how much do consumers pay for a pound of coffee? What is the quantity demanded? b. If the tariff is imposed, how much will consumers pay for a pound of coffee? What is the quantity demanded? c. Calculate the lost consumer surplus. d.

With a positive nominal tariff on the final commodity, more of the commodity is produced domestically than would be under free trade. 3. If imported inputs constitute half the value of the final commodity and are admitted duty free, then the rate of effective protection is equal to the nominal tariff rate on the final commodity. 4.
