Question 12.12 A surplus of a product will arise when price is above equilibrium with the result that quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. above equilibrium with the result that quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded. below equilibrium with the result that quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. below equilibrium with the result that quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded.
The demand for tomatoes is Q = 40-4P and the supply of tomatoes is Q = P +10. Answer the following questions. (a) Suppose that $1 per unit tax is levied on the consumers. Who bears the economic incidence of this tax? (b) Calculate the deadweight loss (c) Suppose that stores will pay $1 per unit tax directly. What will happen to the "sticker price" on tomatoes? How will the size of the consumer tax burden change? (d) Suppose that tax is increased to $2 per unit on the consumers. Calculate the deadweight loss. Compare the size of the deadweight loss with (b).
Consumer surplus is a measure of the difference between: a) The price which a consumer has to pay and the cost of producing the good (in a diagram, the area between the market price, and the supply curve). b) The consumer’s willingness to pay, and the cost of production (the area between the demand curve and the supply curve). c) The value which a consumer places on a unit of the good, and the market price (the area between the demand curve and the market price line). d) The marginal revenue from sales and the marginal cost of sales (the area between the marginal revenue and the marginal cost curves).
The standard measure of consumer surplus is a fair measure of the value of a good to consumers because it gives an equal weight to each individual consumer.” Is this statement true, false, or uncertain?

The equilibrium price of a good is $13$⁢13. Suppose the government introduces a tax on this good. In this case, the price paid by consumers is 1.51.5 times more than the equilibrium price, and the price received by producers is 1.31.3 times less than the equilibrium price. Calculate the amount of tax per good. Enter your answer in the box below and round to two decimal places if necessary.
