Question
- In a competitive market in which P = 100 − 2Q is the inverse demand for fuel and P = 10 + Q is the inverse supply of fuel. Calculations are preferred, but you may use a graph for partial
- Without a tax, what is the market-clearing
price and output, P and Q? - What is the
consumer surplus and producer surplus (with no tax) - If a tax on fuel is set at $15, how much fuel will be purchased? You can assume that the buyers pay the tax (but it doesn’t matter).
- What is the
deadweight loss of the tax?
