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□□
The figure shows the pizza market. A) If the price of a slice of 4-point pizza is $3, what is the consumer surplus of the 50th slice? B) If the price of a slice of pizza is $3, what is the producer surplus for the 50th slice of pizza? C) What is the efficient quantity? What is the equilibrium quantity? What is the loss when the equilibrium quantity is produced?
The real world is dynamics. If so, why do agricultural economics continue to rely so heavily on comparative static?
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?
39) A student wrote: "A production quota is inefficient because it results in overproduction. At the quota quantity, marginal social cost is equal to the market price and marginal social benefit is less than the market price, so marginal social cost exceeds marginal social benefit." If you were the instructor, how would you correct this statement? 40) When the government passes a law making a particular good illegal, does it matter for the black market price and quantity if the penalties for breaking the law are imposed on the buyers or on the sellers? 41) In 1920 a constitutional amendment was passed that outlawed the production, sale, purchase, and consumption of alcoholic beverages. "Prohibition" encouraged bootlegging and black markets for whiskey, wine, and beer. The amendment was eventually repealed in 1933. In 1920, what alternative economic policy was available to the government as a means of reducing alcohol consumption nationwide?
QUESTION 3 3A. Construct a market for cotton imported into the U.S. with an equilibrium price of $1/bale and a quantity exchanged of 100 million bales. 3B. Illustrate the effect on the market for cotton imported into the if the U.S. if the federal government imposes an import quota at 50 million bales.
The UK recently voted to leave the EU, often referred to as Brexit. Suppose the domestic market for food in the UK is described by: D (P) = 40 – 2P S(P) = 3P – 15 Equilibrium price is 11 and equilibrium quantity is 18 in the domestic market. Suppose (for simplicity) that the UK only trades with the EU and the EU price for food is Pworld = 8. Modelling the UK in the EU as having free trade, the UK is a food importer. a. Draw a supply demand graph with free trade, labelling the imports/exports, consumer surplus and producer surplus.
Consider the market for chocolate candy bars. Assume that it has “standard” supply and demand curves. Draw a diagram showing the market in equilibrium. Would we say that this is “efficient”? What does this mean in the context of the market model? justify. We would then like you to illustrate consumer surplus, producer surplus, tax revenue and deadweight loss in a market subject to a quantity tax diagrammatically. A similar exercise is illustrated in the Learning Materials. All you have to do is to construct an analogous case. Finally, it has been revealed that the government wants to implement the tax for public health reasons. That is, the government is not really interested in the tax revenue itself, but in reducing the consumption of candy bars to reduce obesity. Please provide answers to the following questions: Would this objective be better achieved for a market with elastic or inelastic demand? Why? Would your answer change if it transpired that the government only cared about…
Suppose the market for steel is expressed as follows: Domestic demand: p = 40 - 0.2q, or q = 200 - 5p Domestic supply: p = 0.2q, or q = 5p Domestic supply (foreign): p = 0.1q, or q = 10p a) What is the equilibrium price and quantity if there is free trade, with no restriction on imports? b) What is the equilibrium price and quantity if the government imposes a binding import quota of 20 units? Depict parts a and b on a single graph. c) How are US steel firms affected by the quota? US automakers? Explain briefly.
Fantaa is the only soft drinks manufacturer in Country V. Weekly, Fantaa is able to produce 6.34 million cans of soft drinks. Residents in Country V loves Fantaa's soft drinks and consume all 6.34 million cans of soft drinks. The market-clearing price is $0.89 per can. Answer the following questions: a. When the domestic supply and demand for soft drinks in Country V are equal, the market is? E suppliers, U for Unable to make a conclusion or P for totally impossible and only theoretical. Type E for in Equilibrium, M for needing More b. Health experts in Country V found that it is extremely unhealthy to consume a large number of soft drinks. They decided to lobby and pressure the government to implement a price floor of $1.33 per can of soft drink. If the price floor is implemented, it is expected that the quantity demanded for Fantaa's soft drinks will drop to 4.95 million cans. It is given that the opportunity cost of producing the last can of soft drink at 4.95 million cans is $0.55…
Consider a city with the following characteristics: i. Price elasticity of city’s output (export good) is -3.0. ii. The elasticity of labor supply with respect to environmental quality is 0.10. iii. If output changes by x% labor demand changes by x%. Suppose that the city adopts a new environmental policy that increases the city’s environmental quality by 10% and increases the price of the city’s export good by 2%. a. By what percentage will the demand for labor change (shift)? b. By what percentage will the supply for labor change (shift)? c. Under what conditions (what values of the relevant elasticities) will the equilibrium number of workers increase? Illustrate your answer with a graph.
