This is a three-part question - EACH PART requires a solution/explanation with visual representation on a GRAPH or TABLE; for the graph and table, examples of what is needed are provided***    1. Assume that the demand for cigarettes is Qd=1600-30P and the supply of cigarettes is Qs=1400+70P.  Now, suppose the government levies a $2 tax for each unit of cigarettes sold. a. ON A GRAPH, identify the tax revenue generated by this tax.  Label each area on the graph with a letter.    b. SHOW IN A TABLE the consumer surplus and the producer surplus before and after the tax.

4. Externalities - Definition and examples An externality arises when a firm or person engages in an activity that affects the well-being of a third party, yet neither pays nor receives any compensation for that effect. If the impact on the third party is beneficial, it is called a externality. The following graph shows the demand and supply curves for a good with this type of externality. The dashed drop lines on the graph reflect the market equilibrium price and quantity for this good. Shift one of the curves to reflect the presence of the externality. If there are external costs of production, then you should shift the supply curve to reflect the social costs of producing the good; similarly, if there are external benefits from production, then you should shift the demand curve to reflect the social benefits from consuming the good. PRICE (Dollars per unit) QUANTITY (Units) Supply Demand O Demand -- Supply ? With this type of externality, in the absence of government intervention,…

Graph B.5. shows the economics offects of a per-unit tax Refer to Graph B 5. to answer (38 following questions Graph B.5 P S P₁ D₂ D₁ Q Q₁ Q₂ Qs (a) is the tax levied on buyers or on sellers? (b) What is the price buyers pay after the tax is imposed? (c) What is the price the sellers receive after the tax is imposed? (d) What area represents government tax revenue after the tax is imposed? Ps ܘ ܘ ܘ ܘ ܘ P₂ B C F 11 J К H L M

The figure below shows a market of good C. Suppose that the government levied a tax on C. Suppose that the consumers’ tax incidence is 15 and the price sellers receive is 8 when the size of the tax is T. Answer the value of T. Hint: Remember the relationship between the tax incidences and the size of tax.
