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. 1. At equilibrium point, how much is the producers surplus? 2. How much would the producer receive when tax is imposed? 3. If the government imposed Php 0.75 tax, how much would be the tax burden of the buyer?

When the price is 10 TL for each pack of cookies, the supply is 250 thousand and the demand is 120 thousand boxes. When the price is 9,5 TL for each pack of cookies, the supply is 200 thousand and the demand is 240 thousand boxes. Since the price-demand and supply-demand equations are linear; Calculate the producer and consumer annuity and find and interpret the market equilibrium point after-tax if the consumer is taxed at a rate of 0,75 TL per product.
Consider a market for an imported good. There are no domestic producers. The market supply function is assumed to be upward sloping and the market demand function is assumed to be downward sloping. There is no market failure in the beginning. The government is considering imposing a tariff or a quota to increase tax revenue. Bear in mind that producer surplus is not considered as part of social welfare since they are all foreigners. a. 8% With the help of a diagram, identify the effects on consumer surplus, producer surplus and social welfare with the imposition of tariff.b. 8% With the help of a diagram, identify the effects on consumer surplus, producer surplus and social welfare with the imposition of quota, whereas the quota equals the market quantity in part a. c. 4% As an advisor to the government, which option will you recommend? Briefly explain in the lights of efficiency????
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. $______
Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge beer consumers a tax. Before the tax, 20 million cases of beer were sold every month at a price of $4 per case. After the tax, 14 million cases of beer are sold every month; consumers pay $5 per case (including the tax), and producers receive $1 per case. The amount of the tax on a case of beer is_______per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is_______per case, and the burden that falls on producers is_____per case.
Consider the following market supply and demand information for cigarettes: Price ($) Demand for Cigarettes (in million packs per week) $2 12 3 10 4 8 5 6 6 4 7 2 and the supply is 8,000,000 cigarette packs per week. Now suppose that the government mandates a $1 excise tax per pack on the buyers of cigarettes. Who bears the economic incidence (tax burden) of the excise tax?…
6. Which of the following best describes the effects of a per unit purchased tax on producers when the demand curve and the supply curve are both neither perfectly elastic nor perfectly inelastic? a) Price to consumers increases; price received by producers increases; quantity bought and sold increases b) Price to consumers increases; price received by producers decreases; quantity bought and sold increases c) Price to consumers decreases; price received by producers increases; quantity bought and sold increases d) Price to consumers increases; price received by producers decreases; quantity bought and sold decreases 7. Which of the following best describes the effects of a per unit purchased subsidy to producers when the demand curve and the supply curve are both neither perfectly elastic nor perfectly inelastic? a) Price to consumers increases; price received by producers increases; quantity bought and sold increases b) Price to consumers increases; price received by producers…
Domestic Demand Function: p= 100-4Q Domestic Supply Function: p= 40+2.5Q There is an international trade price equal to $15 (pw=15). Although, TheGovernment institutes an import tariff of $9 per unit. Suppose that instead of an import tariff, the government wanted to put an import quota that would make the same change in Producer Surplus as the $9 tarrif A) What is the size of this import Quota that makes this same change in Producer Surplus as the $9 Tariff? B) What is the Deadweight Loss under this Import Quota?
Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine consumers a tax. Before the tax, 15 million bottles of wine were sold every month at a price of $7 per bottle. After the tax, 9 million bottles of wine are sold every month; consumers pay $10 per bottle (including the tax), and producers receive $4 per bottle. The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $_______ per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $________per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $_______per bottle.
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.
Suppose an additional "special" tax of $0.10 per litre is imposed on the sale of gasoline in one province. Prior to the tax the price was $1.30 per litre and 10 million litres of gasoline are sold per day. After imposition of the tax, the new equilibrium price and quantity are $1.38 per litre and 9.6 million litres per day. What is the direct burden of this "special" tax?
Assume supply of a rice: QS = 1800 + 240P, 1981 Demand for rice: QD = 3550 - 266P.What is the market clearing price? Assume now that government wants to support a priceof $3.60/kg and thus buys the additional amount from the market. Find the change inconsumer surplus, cost to the government and gain of the producer. Instead of pricesupport if government gives a supply restriction of 1500 kg what would happen?
