Q97 Before the imposition of a tax, the equilibrium price and quantity are $15 and 100, respectively. After the imposition of a unit tax of $3, the market equilibrium adjusts to a price of $18 and quantity of 100. Based on this information, ... a. Price elasticity of supply is 0 and therefore the entire tax incidence falls on the consumer. b. Price elasticity of supply is 1 and therefore the entire tax incidence falls on the seller. c. Price elasticity of demand is 1 and therefore the tax incidence falls entirely on the seller. d. Price elasticity of demand is 0 and therefore the entire tax incidence falls on the consumer. e. The tax incidence is shared equally by the seller and the consumer.

Question 2: Imposing a single-stage tax Assume that there are 1000 importers and manufacturers, 2,000 wholesalers, and 10,000 retailers. Each manufacturer (importer) has sales of $30,000,000 which is sold equally across wholesalers, and wholesalers put a 20% markup on the price before selling to retailers Then the goods are resold equally to 10,000 retailers and the retailers impose a 25% markup on it. Suppose the government needs to raise 4.5 billion with a single- stage sales tax, a. What would be the rate of tax the government needs to impose on the sales of importers and manufacturers to achieve the revenue target. b. What would be the rate of tax the government needs to impose on the sales of wholesalers to achieve the revenue target?

Consider a market where supply and demand curves are given by Q = 4P and Q = 12 - 2P. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity in this market. Now consider a government that collects a unit tax of 0.2 liras for every unit of good sold in the market from the producers. What is the new supply curve? What is the new market equilibrium quantity? What is the price that consumers pay? What is the price producers get? What is the tax incidence on consumers? producers?

Q)Economics If the tax elasticity of supply is 0.16, by how much will the quantity supplied increase when the marginal tax rate decreases from 40 to 36 percent?
