The demand and supply curves for a price taking firm are as follows: Qd = 10- 0.5 Pd Qs= -2+Ps, when Ps>=2 Qs= 0, when Ps<2 where Qd is the quantity demanded when the price consumers pay is Pd, and Qs is the quantity supplied when the price producers receive is Ps. Answer the questions below: Suppose the government imposes an excise tax of 3 TL per unit. What will the new equilibrium quantity be? What price will buyers pay? What price will sellers receive? Calculate consumer surplus (CS), producer surplus (PS) and deadweight (DWL) loss in this case. (Use a diagram while answering the question, show CS, PS and DWL loss areas in your diagram.

The demand curve in the market of grapefruit is Qd = 120 - 2Pd and the marginal cost of production is constant at $38. If a tax of $17 is imposed, the price received by the producers is $[Answer] less for each unit sold. (In decimal numbers, with two decimal places, please.) Note: don't use any ai bot tool.
1.1. You are given the following demand and supply functions: P = 20 – 2Q + 0.8Z¡ demand P = -1 + 0.5Q - 0.9Z2 supply a. Find the reduced form equations for P and Q. Find competitive equilibrium values for P and Q given Z, = 1 and Z2 = 4. b. Calculate the point elasticity of demand and supply in equilibrium. c. Again letting Zj = 1 and Z, = 4, calculate the point structural elasticities e,(QIZ) and e,(QIZ,) and the point reduced form elasticities e,(QIZ,), e,(QIZ,), e,(PIZ¡), and e,(PIZ,). [Note: €,(Q\Z;) and e,(QIZ,) are, respectively, the elasticities of demand and supply. The s subscript indicates structural elasticity; r indicates reduced form.] d. Again letting Z, = 1 and Z, = 4, use the following two points along the demand curve to estimate an arc elasticity for demand: Qo = 6.2, Po = 8.4, Q1 = 4.2, and P = 12.4.

Please written by computer source Suppose that the demand curve for a product is given by Q = 100 −10p and the supply curve is Q = 10p. Assume that income effects (elasticities) are small so consumer surplus is a good measure of consumer welfare. (a) What is the equilibrium price and quantity with no distortions? (b) The government imposes a tax of $2.00 per unit sold. What is the new equilibrium quantity? Sketch the market equilibrium in a graph. (c) Given the tax what is the change in consumer surplus? What is the change in producer surplus? What is the change in government revenue? What is the net Dead Weight Loss from the tax? (d) Say the government proposes to use the revenue from the tax to pay for snacks in our last ECON 312A lecture. The total social benefits from the snacks would be $82.00. Will the tax increase overall welfare if the revenue is used to buy the snacks? What is the dollar value of the net gain or loss to society?
