Suppose that before tax was imposed 400 million gallons of gasoline was supplied at $3.00 per gallon. a. What happens when government imposes a tax of 60 cents per gallon on sellers? b. How would such a tax affect the market for gasoline i.e. what is the new equilibrium? c. On whom does the incidence of the tax fall more heavily?

If the state government would like to increase tax revenue, please give three examples of products/commodities that the government should impose tax on so that they can collect the highest amount of tax revenue. Please explain your reasons clearly.

Suppose the market for cigarette is competitive. An economist estimates the price elasticity of demand and supply for cigarette are -0.6 and 0.8 respectively. a. Suppose the government imposes a per-unit tax on the cigarette sellers. Who, buyers or sellers, would share a heavier tax burden? Explain your answers without calculation.  b. Suppose the government imposes a per-unit tax of $40 on the cigarette sellers. By how much would buyers and sellers of cigarettes share the tax burden respectively? Show your calculation.  c. Suppose many small sellers, such as newsstands, complain the heavy tax burden borne by them. Would it be better to these small sellers if the government decides to impose a $20 per-unit tax on both the buyers and the sellers of cigarette? Explain.

ols 4. The Laffer curve Government-imposed taxes cause reductions in the activity that is being taxed, which has important implications for revenue collections. To understand the effect of such a tax, consider the monthly market for champagne, which is shown on the following graph. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph, Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly.

1. The demand for the product S is Q = 500 – 8P and its supply is Q = 200 + 4P. The good is currently untaxed, but the government needs to raise tax by taxing per unit of the good. a. Calculate excess burden for the product S. b. Calculates marginal excess burden for the product S? %3D The exact amount of the tax is not specified.

If a constant​ $1 per unit tax is imposed on​ producers, A. producers can always pass the tax burden to consumers by raising the price by a dollar. B. producers will pay more than​ $0.5 tax for each unit of the good sold if supply is less elastic than demand. C. producers will pay less than​ $0.5 tax for each unit of the good sold if demand is more elastic than supply. D. producers must absorb the tax themselves and cannot raise the price.

Attached is a graph diagram depicting the market for soft drinks. If an excise tax equal to $1 per liter is levied on soft drink sellers, please answer the following questions: a. The new equilibrium quantity of soft drinks bought and sold would be ___________ million liters. b. The new equilibrium price paid by buyers of soft drinks would be $__________ per liter. c. The new equilibrium price received by sellers (after-tax) would be $__________ per liter.
