Question 14 of 18 Macmillan Learning Suppose the Canadian government has decided to place an excise tax of $20 per tire on producers of automobile tires. Excise taxes are also called sales or commodity taxes. Previously, there was no excise tax on automobile tires. As a result of the excise tax, producers of tires, such as Bridgestone and Michelin, are going to alter their tire prices. The graph illustrates the demand and supply curves for automobile tires before the excise tax. Please shift the appropriate curve or curves on the graph to demonstrate the impact of the new tax.

Consider the market for apples. The following graph shows the weekly demand for apples and the weekly supply of apples. Suppose a spell of unusually good weather occurs, which enables apple producers to generate more apples per acre of land. please help me

Another strategy Alex can increase his economic profit is to set an all-or-nothing price lower than the monopoly price. The all-or-nothing pricing strategy requires a consumer to buy all the apples at a given price. If Alex sets the all-or-nothing price at $6.25, calculate the economic rent andconsumer surplus under all-or-nothing pricing for different quantities. What is the optimal all-or- nothing quantity Alex should sell to maximize economic profit?

Alcohol, tobacco, and gasoline have inelastic demand, so the buyers of these items pay most of the tax on them.” Show and explain this statement with the help of hypothetical demand and supply graph.

The following graph shows the demand for a good. PRICE (Dollars per unit) 210-- 135 105 30 0 4 Z I 14 X 18 QUANTITY (Units) I II 28 W Demand ? For each of the regions listed in the following table, use the midpoint method to identify if the demand for this good is elastic, (approximately) unit elastic, or inelastic.

Suppose the market price of sunflower changed to 5 (P = 5) from the market equilibrium (Question 10). 12. Use the percentage change in quantity and price to calculate the price elasticity of demand from this change 13. What is new consumer surplus and producer surplus? Who gets benefit from this price change? Briefly explain.

The government wants to stop obesity in children, so they decide to tax soda producers for each unit of soda sold. If demand for soda is relatively elastic, and supply is relatively inelastic will suppliers or consumers pay a larger share of the tax? Briefly explain why.

Refer to the figure below to answer questions number 21 and 22. Suppose the graphs represent the demand for use of a local golf course for which there is no significant competition (it has a local monopoly); P denotes the price of a round of golf; Q is the quantity of rounds "sold" each day. The left graph represents the demand during weekdays, and the right graph the weekend demand. $10 $9 $9 $7 MCHATC $4 MCHATC Dwe MR Dwo 350 Q \MRWE O 100120 100 200 200 Q 21.
