1. Consider a market described by the following equations: Qd = a + BP Q₁ = Q + μP S Where a, ß, q and μ are parameters. Note that must be less than zero and the other parameters are positive. Answer the following questions. Solve for the equilibrium price and quantity. a. b. C. Now suppose a specific tax, t > 0, is imposed on this market that has to be paid to the government by sellers. Show in a clearly labeled supply and demand diagram what happens to the equilibrium effectively price received by sellers, and the price paid by buyers. Be sure to label the price received by sellers and the price paid by buyers in terms of P*(t) and t. Set up the equilibrium condition. Then solve for the price paid by buyers, the price received by sellers, and the after tax equilibrium quantity in terms of the parameters of the model and the tax amount T. d. Using calculus and the equation that you found for P* in part c, find an expression for the tax incidence on the buyers and determine its sign.…

A foreign firm sells smartphones to a home country. The demand for smartphones in the home country is given by the demand curve: Qd = 100 - 2P. The foreign firm ahs marginal cost of production of MC = 2 + Q. A) Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity of smartphones sold in the foreign market. Now, assume the home country opens for trade and has vertical import demand (and MR*) at P^x = $30. Assume the foreign firm will price discriminate. B) Calculate the firms overall output. C) Calculate the quantity and price in the foreign market. D) Calculate the quantity and price in the home market.
Suppose the world price of oil is $15 per barrel. At that price, the United States imports 400 million barrels daily and consumes 600 million barrels daily. The government then imposes a $5 per barrel tax on oil imports. For every dollar increase in oil prices, domestic consumption decreases by 20 million barrels per day, while domestic production increases by 40 million barrels per day. 3. What will be the cost of inefficient production, loss in consumer surplus, and deadweight loss? Use a diagram to help answer the question.
The market for rice in an East Asian country has demand and supply given by QD = 28 – 4P and QS = -12 + 6P, where quantities denote millions of bushels per day. a. If the domestic market is perfectly competitive, find the equilibrium price and quantity of rice. Compute the triangular areas of consumer surplus and producer surplus. b. Now suppose that there are no trade barriers and the world price of rice is $3. Confirm that the country will import rice. Find QD, QS, and the level of imports, QD – QS. Show that the country is better off than in part (a), by again computing consumer surplus and producer surplus. c. The government authority believes strongly in
