Consider a market with an equilibrium quantity of 100 and an equilibrium price of $40. Suppose the government imposes a $20 tax per unit on consumers, after which the quantity sold in the market reduces to70. What is the deadweight loss of the tax and government revenue from tax?A deadweight loss of $300 and a government tax revenue of $1400.A deadweight loss of $600 and a government tax revenue of $1400.A deadweight loss of $300 and government tax revenue of $600.A deadweight loss of $600 and a government tax revenue of $600.

In the market, equilibrium occurs at the intersection point of market demand and market supply…

Suppose demand is D and supply is S0 so that equilibrium price is $10. If an excise tax of $6 is imposed on this product, what happens to the equilibrium price paid by consumers? The price received by producers? The number of units sold?Equilibrium price paid by consumers: $ Price received by producers: $ Number of units sold:

Question 25 Suppose that the demand for insulin is perfectly inelastic with respect to price. If a tax of $3 per vial of insulin sold, then price would: fall, but by less than $3, and there would be some reduction in the quantity bought and sold. rise by the full $3, and there could definitely be a reduction in the quantity bought and sold. rise, but by less than $3, and there would be some reduction in the quantity bought and sold. rise by the full $3, but there would be no reduction in the quantity bought and sold. rise, but by less than $3, and there would be no reduction in the quantity bought and sold.
A subsidy is the opposite of a tax. With a $0.50 tax on the buyers of ice-cream cones, the government collects $0.50 for each cone purchased; with a $0.50 subsidy for the buyers of ice-cream cones, the government pays buyers $0.50 for each cone purchased. Show the effect of a $0.50 per cone subsidy on the demand curve for ice-cream cones, the effective price paid by consumers, the effective price received by sellers, and the quantity of cones sold. Do consumers gain or lose from this policy? Do producers gain or lose? Does the government gain or lose? A subsidy is the opposite of a tax.

For Questions 45-47 Suppose the current equilibrium price of a gadget is $4 and the equilibrium quantity is 100. Then the government imposes an excise tax of $2 per unit on the production of gadgets. Subsequent to the tax and the resulting supply shift, the equilibrium quantity falls to 90. The elasticity of demand coefficient associated with the movement between the two equilibrium points is .5. dollars. 45. The post- tax price is equal to 46. The Incidence Ratio is equal to 47. Who bears the greater economic burden of the tax?
The market demand for a product is Q = 290 - 7P, and the market supply is Q = -90 + 12P (where Q is quantity and P is price). The elasticity of demand: -.90 The elasticity of supply: 1.20 Suppose the government imposes a $1.20 tax per unit. 1. Use the values for price elasticity of demand and supply to calculate the tax burden on consumers relative to suppliers (or producers). 2. What is the actual tax burden on suppliers? 3. What is the actual tax burden on consumers? 4. Calculate the deadweight loss of the tax, using only the price elasticity of demand and supply, the per-unit tax, and equilibrium price and quantity.
