Hi may explain to me how to solve the question step by step? TQ Sally Henin has a price elasticity of demand for gasoline of -0.8. Her income elasticity for gasoline is 0.5. Sally's current income is $40,000 per year. Sally currently spends $800 per year on gasoline. The price of gasoline is currently $1.00 per gallon. a. A contemplated excise tax on gasoline will cause the price of gasoline to rise to $1.40. What impact will the tax have on Sally's consumption of gasoline? b. Since the purpose of the tax is only to discourage gasoline consumption, Congress is considering a $200 income tax rebate to lessen the burden of the gasoline tax. What impact will the rebates have on Sally's consumption of gasoline? 3. Assume that both the tax and rebate are implemented. Will Sally be worse off or better off?
Q Sea Aplia Homework: Elasticity of Demand and Supply The following graph shows the daily market for jeans when the tax on sellers is set at $0 per pair. Suppose the government institutes a tax of $5.80 per pair, to be paid by the seller. (Hint: To see the impact of the tax, enter the value of the tax in the Tax on Sellers field and move the green line to the after-tax equilibrium by adjusting the value in the Quantity field. Then, enter zero in the Tax on Sellers field. You should see a tax wedge between the price buyers pay and the price sellers receive.) Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly. Graph Input Tool 50 Market for Jeans 45 I Quantity (Pairs of jeans) 50 40 Supply Demand Price (Dollars per pair) Supply Price (Dollars per pair) 75.00 17.00 35 30 25 Supply…

According to the study of the Ministry of Health the price elasticity of demand of cigarettes is -0,2. And people purchase about 500 million cigarettes each year. a. If the tax on cigarettes were increased enough to raise the price of cigarettes by 50 percent, what would be the effect on the quantity cigarettes demanded? Show your work explicitly. b. Is raising the tax on cigarettes a more effective way to reduce smoking, if the demand of cigarettes is elastic or if it is inelastic? Briefly explain and justify your answer with diagrams.
