- Suppose the government of the island has decided to give consumers a more attractive price for tomatoes by imposing a fixed, per unit subsidy. Thus, start with the original demand (Qd = 450 - 100P) and supply (Qs = 50P) and analyze this new intervention, the subsidy. The subsidy works like this: each tomato seller receives a 3-dollar refund for each kilogram of tomatoes sold. Write down the equation for the new "effective supply" curve. Determine the new equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price. What is the price that the consumers will pay for their tomatoes? What is the price that the producers will effectively earn for their tomatoes, inclusive of the subsidy? How much will the government spend on tomato subsidies in this case in total? (Recall the units of measurement: P is the price in dollars per kilogram of tomatoes; and Q is the quantity of tomatoes, expressed in thousands of kilograms.)

- The demand and supply of ethanol are given by QD = 8,000 – 2,000P and QS = 1,000P – 1,000, where P is price per gallon and Q measures gallons per minute. Suppose the government subsidizes ethanol at $0.30 a gallon that the producer pays. What does the subsidy cost the government? After the subsidy, what is the producer surplus? After the subsidy, what is the consumer surplus? After the subsidy, what is the deadweight loss?arrow_forwardWhich of the following would lead to the creation of some consumer surplus? Sam refuses to pay $10 for a haircut because it is only worth $8 to him. Fred buys a car for $4000, the maximum amount that he is willing to pay. Danette pays $30 a month for phone service, but it is worth $70 a month to her. When Florence purchases a candy bar for 50 cents, she uses a $20 bill to pay for it.arrow_forwardConsider the inverse demand curve: p=70-2Q. Assume the market price is $20.00.

- Anderson is willing to pay $12. Kendrick can provide the item for $10, but producing the item imposes a cost of $8 on Talib. If Anderson purchases the item from Kendrick for $11, what is the total surplus from the transaction?

- The market for smart phone applications is characterized by the following demand and supply curves. QD = D(P) = 15 - 3P QS = S(P) = 5 + 10P (a) Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity for this market. (b) The government is considering introducing a per unit subsidy of t on each electric car that is purchased. Suppose that the statutory incidence of this subsidy will be on buyers. Using the equilibrium conditions, D(Pn - t) = S(Pn) = Q* (i.e. that demand equals supply in equilibrium), derive an equation in terms of es and ed that describes what fraction of the subsidy is borne by buyers/consumers. (c) Suppose that the unit tax is set at t = 0.1 per unit. What is the excess burden of this tax per dollar of revenue raised? (d) Suppose that we incorrectly assumed that supply was perfectly elastic and there was no impact of the tax on the equilibrium price received by sellers.
