23. Consider a competitive market for 'new build' homes. The demand and supply functions for this market are given by QD = 900 - 2p 1 Qs = -100+P (a) Find the equilibrium Q and p in this market. Suppose that the government want to increase the number of individuals who own a house. They are planning to subsidise transactions in this market to increase Q by 20%. (b) What is the level of subsidy (x) which is required? (c) What would be the change in producer surplus from the subsidy? Is this larger than the change in consumer surplus? (d) Calculate the deadweight loss from this subsidy. (e) Will the government's subsidy meet its objective?

12) In the effort to reduce alcohol consumption, the government is considering a $1 tax on each gallon of liquor sold. The legal incidence of the tax will be on producers. Suppose the demand for alcohol is described by Q D = 500,000 – 20,000*P where Q D is quantity and P is price per gallon (NOTE: the inverse demand curve would be P = 25 – 0.00005*Q D ). The supply curve is described at Q S = 30,000*P (NOTE: This would make the MC curve MC = (1/30,000)*Q S ). D. Calculate the elasticity of demand at the original equilibrium price. Calculate the elasticity of supply at the original equilibrium price. e. Calculate the deadweight loss of the tax. f. Suppose that if you were to disaggregate the market demand into young drinkers and old drinkers you would find that the demand for alcohol is more elastic among young drinkers than old drinkers. Which group of drinkers will change their behavior more? Which group of drinkers will bear the bigger burden of the proportion of the tax that…

Question 11. Consider the market for flounders (a sort of fish). The demand curve in the northern part of the country is given by QN (P) = 2000-100P while that in the southern part is Qs(P) = 5000-500P. The supply curve for the entire country is Q(P) = 20P.
