- Suppose that the government enacts a tax on retail sales of road salt, which homeowners and businesses put on walkways and driveways. Assume that the supply of salt is perfectly elastic, due to the ease with which suppliers can stockpile the product.Before the tax, 900 fifty-pound bags of road salt are sold at an equilibrium price of $7 per bag. After the tax, 775 bags are sold at $8 per bag. How much revenue does the tax generate for the government? What is the amount of the tax? $1. What is the relationship between total revenue and own-price elasticity of demand? 2. Illustrate a situation when the producer of a good will have a greater tax incidence than a consumer.What does elasticity have to do with tax incidence?20 10 -demand - uey with ta How much revenue will the government gain if they put a $6 tax on this product? Do not write the dollar symbol ($) because that confuses the computer. Write just a number. 16
- How would I solve this question?: suppose demand for cigarettes is inelastic and supply of cigarettes is elastic. Who would bear the larger share of the burden of a tax placed on cigarettes? Include supply and demand diagram that depicts situationWhen airfares between Santa Rosa and Los Angeles averages $69, the quantity consumed is 42,500 tickets. One day, an airline tax is levied equal to $10.00 and output falls to 37,000 tickets. Assume that air travelers end up paying 75% of the tax. Total taxes paid by air travelers will be ____ Total taxes paid by airlines will be ____ Calculate the price elasticity of demand and & interpret coefficient. Use the general formula, not the mid point formula Calculate the price elasticity of supply and interpret coefficient. Use the general formula, not the mid point formula. How do total sales in the airline market before and after the tax support your answer in (n) and/or (o)?Now assume the government raises the tax from $1.00 to $1.50. This causes sale to decline from 10,000 units to 5,000 units. a) calculate the price(tax) elasticity of demand. b) is it elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic? c) what happens to total tax revenue?
- The equilibrium price of a good is $30. Supply of this good is more elastic than demand. 5uppase the government introduces a tax on the good. in this case, the price receved by producers is $24, and the price paid by consumers is 1.6 times more.Calculate the tax cost per good for the group bearing most of the tax burden if necessary, round any intermediate calculations and your final answer to two decimal places. $______Calculate, interpret and try to explain where applicable in each question, why the elasticities of demand for the following examples occur: a. The government announced an introduction of excise tax from R1 to R1.50 per bottle of beer. This increase results in an overall price increase from R9 to R10.50 per bottle to consumers. The expected tax revenue from this will be R30,000. Before the tax hike, 28,000 beers were sold. b. What will happen to the total revenue of soft drink companies if the elasticity of demand for soft drinks is higher than 1 and the price of soft drinks decreases? c. The quantity demanded of a popular magazine decreases from 10,000 copies to 6,000 per month after the publisher increased the price of a copy from R25 to R40. Total revenue from sales of a prescribed textbook on economics increased from R50,000 to R60,000 when the price of the book increased from R400 to R600 per book. Explain why.I require help on solving the tax revenue and incidences for both producers and consumers. Supply: P=0.25Q Demand: P=300-0.75Q Instead of a price control, government levies a $20 excite tax on producers. Formulate the new supply curve and solve for the new equilibrium price and quantity. Calculate with a diagram the tax revenue and the tax incidences for both producers and consumers. Discuss how buyers and sellers share the tax burden by applying relevant theories and an appropriate diagram.
- Imagine the government imposes a $30 excise tax on sellers of cell phones by charging $30 for each cell phone sold. If we have normal demand and supply curves, the price of cell phones will: Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. Rise by less than $30. b Rise by more than $30. Rise by exactly $30. d Buyers of cell phones will bear the entire burden of the tax. e Sellers of cell phones will bear the entire burden of the tax.The quantity demanded of salt decreases when the price of pepper increases. This is an example of * own-price elasticity. supply elasticity. income elasticity. O rubber band elasticity. cross-price elasticity. If the government wants to put a per unit tax on a product so that it can raise revenue to support local schools, it would most likely accomplish this goal by doing which of the following? * O placing a tax on a good with an elastic demand. placing a tax on a good that has many substitutes. placing a tax on a good with an inelastic demand. placing a tax on a good with a perfectly elastic demand. O relying of the goodness of mankind and simply ask for donations.3. Relationship between tax revenues, deadweight loss, and demand elasticity The government is considering levying a tax of $120 per unit on suppliers of either pickleball paddles or metro cards. The supply curve for each of these two goods is identical, as you can see on each of the following graphs. The demand for pickleball paddles is shown by Dr (on the first graph), and the demand for metro cards is shown by Dy (on the second graph). Suppose the government taxes pickleball paddles. The following graph shows the annual supply and demand for this good. It also shows the supply curve (S+ Tax) shifted up by the amount of the proposed tax ($120 per paddle). On the following graph, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area that represents tax revenue for pickleball paddles. Then use the black triangle (plus symbols) to shade the area that represents the deadweight loss associated with the tax. PRICE (Dollars per paddle) 240 220 200 160 140 120 80 40 0 0 Pickleball…
