- The government decides that the sugar price support program is getting too expensive. It abandons the support price program and instead assigns a marketing quota to each sugar producer. This quota gives the holder the right to sell sugar on the market and can be transferred to other producers. Altogether the quotas allocate to sugar growers add up to 9 million cwt. Please grab this problem, indicating clearly the market price and quantity. Not sure if this is necessary for the question but given is demand for sugar: Q= 20 - P Supply for sugar: Q = 2 + P quantities are in million hundredweight (cwt) and price is dollars per cwt. picture is of previous question that goes along to help answer with this one.

(b) The government is considering introducing a per unit subsidy of t on each electric car that is purchased. Suppose that the statutory incidence of this subsidy will be on buyers. Using the equilibrium conditions, D(Pn - t) = S(Pn) = Q* (i.e. that demand equals supply in equilibrium), derive an equation in terms of es and ed that describes what fraction of the subsidy is borne by buyers/consumers. (c) Suppose that the unit tax is set at t = 0.1 per unit. What is the excess burden of this tax per dollar of revenue raised?
