A tax on gasoline is proposed in order to raise money for the pollution-control activities of several public agencies. The tax will be 10¢ per gallon, and last year 10.3 million gallons of gasoline were used by motorists (this is strictly an illustrative number). Does this mean that we can anticipate S1,030,000 in revenues from this tax? Explain and use a graph to answer this question.

7. Effect of a tax on buyers and sellers The following graph shows the weekly market for craft beer in some hypothetical economy. Suppose the government levies a tax of $11.60 per case. The tax places a wedge between the price buyers pay and the price sellers receive. PRICE (Dollars per case) 50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 0 Tax Wedge Demand 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 QUANTITY (Cases of craft beer) Supply 400 450 500 ?

To discourage the energy drinks market, lawmakers, including Senator Miller (D-CA), have called for an aggressive tax on energy drinks. The Miller Bill would place a two dollar tax on energy drink tall cans (that on average cost $2.50) in all American markets. Other members of Congress led by Senator Cruz (R-TX), however, believed that tax to be too high, so the Miller Bill was amended to decrease the size of the tax to just one dollar. 1. Draw a graph with demand curve, supply curve, equilibrium price and quantity, tax price, tax incidence, tax revenue, and deadweight loss. Sen. Cruz claims that this smaller tax still accomplishes the goal of destroying the market for energy drinks, while Sen. Miller vehemently disagrees, stating that energy drinks will still be consumed, but to a lesser extent. Which senator is correct, and how can you tell from the graph? I 1:22 9,
Suppose that you are concerned about teenage smoking in the Philippines. You are interested in what the impact would be if a P10 excise tax was added to each pack of cigarettes sold. You have the following data available: Elasticity of Demand (General Public): -.5 Elasticity of Demand (Teenagers): -.82 Elasticity of Supply: 6.1 Current Market Price of Cigarettes: P50.51 Current Cigarette Sales: 21.8B Use the following model and assume linearity. Qd = a +bP Qs = c +dP Find the parameters of a, b, c and d. Using your estimated model, solve for the equilibrium price and quantity. We already know this, but you should double check to make sure you did part (a) right.
