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.

Suppose the price elasticity of demand for smartphones is 0.5 (absolute value), while the price elasticity of supply is 1.9. If the government imposes a per-unit tax of $100 on the sellers of smartphones, how will the price and quantity transacted of smartphones change? Will the sellers or the buyers bear a larger tax burden? Will the market be able to achieve economic efficiency after the tax is imposed? Explain with a diagram.

You are an economist in the Internal Revenue System and just heard of a plan to increase the sales tax on a certain widget by $.06. Last year customers purchased about 10 million widgets. The demand curve in the last year was such that a $.01 increasein price decreases sales by 100,000. A study showed that a $.01 increase in price resulted in producers willing to provide 50,000 more widgets to the market. Congress stated that this$.06 tax will increase government revenues by $600,000 and raise the price of each widget by $.06. Is this correct? If so, explain why this is the case and, if not, what is the increase in prices and revenues?
