1. Below is a graph of the market for gram of legal recreational cannabis in MA. What is the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity sold in this market? Write the values here and label them on the graph as P* and Q* Price of Recreational Cannabis ($/Gram) 19.00 17.00 15.00 13.00 11.00 9.00 7.00 5.00 3.00 1.00 0 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Quantity of Recreational Cannabis (10,000s of grams) Supply Demand 9 10 2. In MA, a city or town may impose an additional tax on cannabis sales in its locality. If we assume the tax payments are collected directly from the cannabis retailers, we typically model this as an increase in the cost of production to suppliers, which would be a shift in the supply curve. Draw a new supply curve in the graph above that exactly reflects a $2 tax on each gram sold. Be sure to label the height of the vertical distance between the old and new supply curves 3. With the new supply curve, if the price of cannabis remained at the old equilibrium price (from question 1),…
Consider two types of cars: 1) Performance cars, which emphasize good performance (good mileage, towing capacity, horsepower, etc). 2) Luxury cars, which emphasize good looks Let's say that with the higher gas prices Americans care less about how their cars look and more about how they perform. We'd therefore expect to see in the market for performance cars and in the market for luxury cars. demand fall; demand rise demand rise; quantity demanded fall demand rise; demand fall O demand fall; quantity demanded rise
