Given the following information Qp = 240 – 5P Qs = P where Qp is the quantity demanded, Qs is the quantity supplied and P is the price. Suppose that the government decides to impose a tax of $12 per unit on sellers in this market. Determine: Demand and Supply equation after the tax. Supply equation Choose. Demand equation Choose.

Explain why using the midpoint formula for calculating the elasticity of demand gives the same result whether price increases or decreases, but using the initial price and quantity instead of the average does not.
What is the difference between the demand and the quantity demanded of a product, say milk? Explain in words and show the difference on a graph with a demand curve for milk.
When someones kidneys fail, the person needs to have medical treatment with a dialysis machine (unless or until they receive a kidney transplant) or they will die. Sketch a supply and demand diagram, paying attention to the appropriate elasticities, to illustrate that the supply of such dialysis machines will primarily determine the pure.
If supply is elastic, will shifts in demand have a larger effect on equilibrium quantity or on price?
Suppose you learned that the price elasticity of demand for wheat is 0.7 between the current price for wheat and a price 2 higher per bushel. Do you think that farmers collectively would try to reduce the supply of wheat and drive the price up 2 higher per bushel? Explain your answer. Assuming that they would try to reduce supply, what problems might they have in actually doing so?
