This question tests your understanding of Application 1 in this chapter: New Zealand's tax on light spirits. How does a tax on one good affect the demand for substitute goods? The government imposed a special tax on light spirits (those with alcoholic content between 14 and 24%), nearly doubling the price of teens' favorite beverages, from $8 to $14. How did teenagers in New Zealand respond to the special tax on their favorite alcoholic beverage? O Teens significantly reduced drinking because of the tax. O The tax increased the bang per buck of light spirits. O Producers responded by increasing the alcohol content and offered more potent beverages below the prices of the original light beverages to avoid the tax. O As predicted by the equimarginal rule, the tax caused many teens to reduce their consumption of these beverages, often switching to other super light beverages or high alcohol content beverages.

The inverse demand function is p = 10q, where q is the number of units sold. The inverse supply function is defined by p = 2 + q. A tax of $2 is imposed on suppliers for each unit that they sell. After the tax is imposed, the equilibrium quantity with taxes is. 0 1 07 O 3 04 09
Many governments subsidise electric vehicles. Draw two sup- ply and demand diagrams (one for electric vehicles and one for petrol- powered vehicles) to show the impact of an electric vehicle subsidy. As- sume that an increase in electric vehicles sales reduces petrol powered vehicles by the same amount. On these diagrams show: (a) The quantity of both types of vehicles before the subsidy. (b) The quantity of both types of vehicles after the subsidy. (c) The deadweight losses in both markets before and after the subsidy. 4. is a fuel excise or an electric vehicle subsidy a better policy response to address externalities associated with driving? Your answer should draw on the answers above and could also include: Which policy is simpler to administer. How the two policies impact use of other forms of transport (like public transport or riding a bike). Which policy is fairer.

1. Supposed that UMA Condominiums are an ordinary good and demand for Condominiums is inelastic. What is the effect on Nagenyos Consumer Surplus if there is a decrease in price of Condominiums? Explain. 2. Based from your answer in the questions pertaining to the supply of Condominiums in response to the demand of Nagenyos, enumerate at least two (2) possible effects of the determinants of demand ( (a) price, (b) income, (c) price of related goods like apartments and residential houses, and (d) consumer taste and expectation) and determinants of supply ( (a) flexibility of inputs, (b) mobility of inputs, (c) ability to produce substitute and (d) time ).

Consider a market where demand and supply satisfy the following equations QD = 12 – 2 P,e Qs = 2P. a) Find the current equilibrium price and quantity. b) What is the total producer surplus if the market is in equilibrium? - The government is considering a minimum price policy to increase producer surplus.- c) Explain by means of graphs how the introduction of a price floor can increase producer surplus. d) Find the (optimal) price floor that maximizes producer surplus.

(a) Suppose in a competitive market, the market demand curve for salt is infinitelyinelastic. What is the impact of a per-unit tax (i.e. a specific tax) on the priceof salt that consumers pay? Suppose the demand curve for butter is Q = 50 − 3P and the supply curve isQ = 2P. Suppose the government announces a per-unit tax of 1 on the priceof butter. Tax on butter can be seen as a ’fat tax’. What is the overall effectof a fat tax on the consumers? Please do not use chat gpt and answer the best way it can be.

a. Assume that the elasticity of demand for Fanta is -0.5 while the elasticity of supply is 0.7. Assuming further that a tax of K10 is applied on each bottle of Fanta sold, how much of this will be borne by producers. b. Assume that the price of good X is K10 while that of good Y is K20. A consumer has allocated consumption between the two goods in such a way that the marginal utility of X is 15 utils and that of Y is 25 utils. Is this an optimal consumption bundle? If not, what should the consumer do to reach the optimum?
