Assume that the monthly demand for Gala apple in the US is given by q=1200-300p and quantity is in million pounds. The monthly supply of Gala is q= -200+400p for p>$0.5. 1) Now assume that the government has imposed a quantity tax equal to $0.14 on each pound of apple. What is the new equilibrium consumer price, producer price and quantity? 2) Now assume that the government has imposed a quantity tax equal to $0.14 on each pound of apple. Assume that the retail stores are legally obliged to collect this tax. What is the consumers' share of the tax in cents per unit? What about producers?  3) Now assume that the government has imposed a quantity tax equal to $0.14 on each pound of apple. Assume that the retail stores are legally obliged to collect this tax. The new consumer surplus is? What about the new producers surplus?

The following graph represents the demand and supply for pinckneys (an imaginary product). The black point (plus symbol) indicates the pre-tax equilibrium. Suppose the government has Just decided to impose a tax on this market; the grey points (star symbol) indicate the after-tax scenario. Demand Supply 16, 18 21.00 18.00 15.00 QUANTITY (Pinckneys) Complete the following table, given the information presented on the graph. Result Value Per-unit tax $6.00 Equilbrium quantity before tax Price producers recelve before tax $18.00 In the following table, indicate which areas on the previous graph correspond to each concept. Check all that apply. Concept D. Deadweight loss after the tax is imposed Consumer surplus after the tax is imposed Producer surplus before the tax Is imposed PRICE (Dotars per pinckney) 口□□

A small province is planning to levy a hotel room tax of $20 per night on hotel owners to recover some of the costs of government services associated with nonresidents. The average price of a standard hotel room in this province before the implementation of the tax is $150 per night. Market analysts predict that the average price of a hotel room will increase to $155 per night after the tax.   a) Use the supply and demand model to illustrate and explain how the proposed tax on hotel operators will impact the market for hotels. Clearly show in your diagram and explain in words the impact on price and quantity of hotel rooms as well as the revenue raised and any deadweight loss caused by the tax.  b) Discuss how tax incidence is shared between buyers and sellers. What share of this tax is paid for by buyers, and what share is paid for by sellers?  c) What do your findings in part b tell you about the price elasticity of demand for hotel rooms compared to the price elasticity of supply?…

Assume that the monthly demand for Gala apple in the US is given by q=1200-300p and quantity is in million pounds. The monthly supply of Gala is q= -200+400p for p>$0.5. Now assume that the government has imposed a quantity tax equal to $0.14 on each pound of apple. What is the new equilibrium consumer price, producer price and quantity?

Given the following information QD = 240-5P QS= P Where QD is the quantity demanded, Qs is the quantity supplied and P is the price. Suppose the government decides to impose a tax of $12 per unit on sellers in this market. Determine the Buyers price after tax.

The state of Colorado's excise tax on beer is 8 cents per gallon. Suppose that the excess burden created by this tax is $40 million. If the tax is increased from 8 cents to 12 cents per gallon, what will be the new excess burden in this market? (The answer is $90 million)

There is a price ceiling below the equilibrium price. The new equilibrium quantity sold in this market is-

A market is described by the following supply and demand curves: QS = 3P QD = 400−P The equilibrium price is $ and the equilibrium quantity is . Suppose the government imposes a price ceiling of $120. This price ceiling is , and the market price will be $ . The quantity supplied will be , and the quantity demanded will be . Therefore, a price ceiling of $120 will result in . Suppose the government imposes a price floor of $120. This price floor is , and the market price will be $ . The quantity supplied will be and the quantity demanded will be . Therefore, a price floor of $120 will result in . Instead of a price control, the government levies a tax on producers of $40. As a result, the new supply curve is:

Suppose that at equilibrium, the price elasticity of demand for wheat is -1.5 and the price elasticity of supply is 0.5. If the government imposes a price ceiling that is 12% below the equilibrium price, this price constraint will lead to: A) A shortage equal to 24% of the equilibrium quantity B) A surplus equal to 24% of the equilibrium quantity C) A shortage equal to 2.4% of the equilibrium quantity D) A surplus equal to 2.4% of the equilibrium quantity

The linear demand curve is: Q = 100 - 4P The linear supply curve is: QS = -20 + 2P For each of the following questions, you need to show the basic calculation steps. 1) Given the above market demand and supply curves for the bottled wine in a hypothetical economy, please calculate the market equilibrium price and market equilibrium quantity for a bottle of wine. 2) If the government decides to charge an excise tax at the rate of 3 for each bottle of wine, what is the tax burden on consumers? And what is the tax burden on the firms? Show your calculation steps. B) Who shares more of the tax burden, the consumer or the firms? Please explain the reasons behind it.
