10. Suppose that a tax of $1.50 per dozen is levied by the government on producers.
What is the new equilibrium quantity? What is the new equilibrium price?
11. Suppose, instead, that a subsidy of $1.50 per dozen is given by the government to
producers. What is the new equilibrium quantity? What is the new equilibrium
price?
12. Suppose now instead that, instead of a subsidy, the government enters the market to
support a price of $4.25 per dozen. How many dozens of doughnuts will the
government need to buy?
