Consider the demand curve as in tutorial 12 (question 1), qd = 240 - 3p, where q is the quantity demanded and p is the price. The supply curve is given by qs = p - 6. If a specific (or per-unit) tax of $20 is imposed on sellers, how much tax revenue does the government raise in this market? [Round to one decimal place in both your calculations and in your final answer; Note: both the supply curve and the tax are different from the tutorial question.]

Suppose that the demand curve for wheat is and the supply curve is Producer surplus Q = 400-40p The government provides producers with a specific subsidy of s= $2 per unit. How do the equilibrium price and quantity change? The equilibrium price decreases by $1 and the equilibrium quantity increases by $40 units. (Enter numeric responses using real numbers rounded to two decimal places.) What effect does this tax (subsidy) have on consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue, welfare, and deadweight loss? Consumer surplus increases by $ 220. by $ Qs = 40p.
Given the following information QD = 240 - 5P QS = p where QD is the quantity demand, QS is the quantity supplied and P is the price. Suppose that the government decides to impose a tax $12 per unit on sellers in this market. Determine: a) Demand and supply equation after tax b) Buyer's price after tax c) Seller's price after tax d) Quantity after tax e) Consumer surplus after tax f) Producer surplus after tax g) Tax revenue h) Deadweight loss of the tax i) Total surplus after tax
Consider the supply and demand functions graphed below. Price 100 75 70 60 10 56 Supply Demand 20 Quantity Suppose a demand-side tax is imposed. As a result of the tax, the new equilibrium quantity is 5. What is the price paid by consumers? $60 What is the price received by producers? $ How much is the tax that was imposed? How much tax revenue is collected? Which side of the market pays more of the tax? This side of the market pays more of the tax because SA A 4 4) (
Doyle and Samphantharak (2008) find that when a 5% gas tax is implemented, prices consumers pay for gas increase by about 4%. What role does demand elasticity play in determining the size of this price change? That is, under what demand elasticity cases would the price change be closer to 5%, or closer to 0%? Illustrate and explain using supply-and-demand graph(s)..
Suppose that a market is described by the following supply and demand equations: Supply Q = 3P; Demand Q = 400 - P. Suppose that a tax of $200 is placed on buyers. The deadweight loss of this tax is $15000 $30000 $200 $40000
Suppose that the equilibrium quantity in the market for gadgets has been 85,000 per month. Then a tax of $6 per gadget is imposed on gadgets. As a result, the price paid by buyers increases by $4 and the after-tax price received (and kept) by sellers falls by $2. Given this tax imposition, the government is able to raise $481,740 per month in tax revenue. We can conclude that the imposition of the tax (x) has caused a deadweight loss by an amount more than $13,750 but less than $14,500 per month. (y) has reduced the equilibrium quantity of gadgets by more than 4,450 but less than 4,675 gadgets per month. (z) has reduced consumer surplus by more than $328,750 per month and has reduced producer surplus by more than $164,775 per month.

Suppose that a market is described by the following supply and demand equations: Q³ = 2P QD=300-P A tax of T is place on buyers, so the new demand equation is QD = 300 - (P+T). The deadweight loss of a tax is the area of the triangle between the supply and demand curves. Recalling that the area of a triangle is 1/2"base height, which of the following functions of T is the deadweight loss? T²/3 2T/3 2*(300-T)/3 (300-T)/3
Refer to Figure 2. Suppose the government imposes a tax of $0.60 per soft drink purchased. When it comes to the economic incidence, who is bearing the tax burden, buyers, or sellers? Explain using actual numbers .......... 1) Suppose the government introduces a ceiling on the fees that lawyers are permitted to charge. This fee ceiling A) is always inefficient. B) results in an inefficient use of resources when the ceiling is above the equilibrium fee. C) results in an efficient use of resources when the ceiling is above the equilibrium fee. D) results in an efficient use of resources when the ceiling is below the equilibrium fee. E) is always efficient. 2) An effective rent ceiling A) increases producer surplus. B) results in a producer surplus of zero. C) sometimes increases producer surplus and sometimes decreases producer surplus. D) decreases producer surplus. E) decreases the supply of housing.
given the following information Qd=240 -5p and Qs= P Where Qd is the quantity demanded and Qs is the quantity supplied and P is the price. suppose the government decided to impose a tax of $12 per unit on the sellers in the market. Determine Demand and supply equation. Recheck consumer surplus calculation. Calculate Tax revenue, deadweight loss and total surplus after tax

Suppose the demand for a product is given by P = 50 –Q. Also, the supply is given by P = 10 + 3Q. If a $12 per-unit excise tax is levied on the buyers of a good, after the tax, the total amount of tax paid by the producers is: None of these $84 $18 $63 $21
