On the following graph, use the black curve (plus symbols) to illustrate the deadweight loss in these cases. (Hint: Remember that the area of a triangle is equal to x Base × Height. In the case of a deadweight loss triangle found on the graph input tool, the base is the amount of the tax and the height is the reduction in quantity caused by the tax.) 2400 2160 1920 Deadweight Loss 1680 1440 1200 960 720 480 240 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 TAX (Dollars per bottle) As the tax per bottle increases, deadweight loss DEADWEIGHT LOSS (Dollars)
Consumers of gasoline in (Manhattan) New York are known to have an elastic demand to price of gasoline, whereas those in (Los Angeles) California are inelastic in their demand to gasoline prices. Explain and analyze the effects of a gasoline tax imposed in these two states (of equal dollar-value) by answering the following questions: (a) Graphically represent the above scenario in each state, one graph representing the gasoline market in each state. On each graph clearly show: (i) Both the axes (ii) Supply and Demand schedules (iii) The shift in the relevant schedule as a result of the tax (iv) The area denoting the revenue given to the government by the consumers and the producers (v) The Deadweight loss
To raise funds aimed at providing more support for public schools, a state government has just imposed a unit excise tax equal to $4 for each monthly unit of cell services sold by each company operating in the state. The following diagram depicts the positions of the demand and supply curves for cell services before the unit excise tax was imposed. Use this diagram to determine the position of the new market supply curve now that the tax hike has gone into effect. a. Does imposing the $4-per-month unit excise tax cause the market price of cell services to rise by $4 per month? Why or why not? b. What portion of the $4-per-month unit excise tax is paid by consumers? What portion is paid by providers of cell services?
