QUESTION 6 Suppose a tax of $4 per unit is imposed on a good, and the tax causes the equilibrium quantity of the good to decrease from 2,000 units to 1,800 units. The tax decreases consumer surplus by $5,000 and decreases producer surplus by $3,400. The deadweight loss of the tax is Oa $1,200. Ob. S800. OC $1,600. Od. $2,200.

1. The demand curve for cab rides is p = 5 · y where y represents passenger miles. %3D 1,000' The supply curve is p = 2 for y< 2,500 and it becomes perfectly inelastic at y = 2,500. (i) Find the equilibrium price and quantity. (ii) Find the consumers' surplus and producers' surplus. (iii) Suppose that an excise tax of e = 0.50 per passenger mile is imposed on suppliers. Find the new equilibrium price and quantity. (iv) Finally, suppose that a sales tax of t= 0.50 is imposed on consumers. (The excise tax is still in place.) Find the new equilibrium price and quantity. (v) Explain briefly why the economic burden of the tax and the deadweight loss from imposing the tax are different for the excise tax and the sales tax.
