Question
Suppose you are given the following information:
Qs =100+3P Qd =400–2P
where Qs is the quantity supplied, Qd is the quantity demanded and P is price.
a. From this information compute
b.Now suppose that a tax is placed on buyers so that Qd=400–(2P+T)where T is taxes. If T = 15, solve for the new equilibrium price and quantity. (Note: You are solving for the equilibrium price for sellers and buyers).

- Question 11 of 26 > O Macmillan Learning The graphs show the market for bags of potato chips, which is currently at an equilibrium price of $1.33 per bag and an equilibrium quantity of 5.33 million bags. Suppose that, in an attempt to lower blood pressure and reduce healthcare costs, the government imposes a $1.00 excise (or commodity) tax on potato chips. Suppose the government levies this tax on manufacturers for each bag of potato chips they produce. Please shift the appropriate curve or curves to illustrate this. Price ($ per bag) 5.0 4.5 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.0 What is the price paid per bag by consumers (Pc) with this new tax?

Pe was the equilibrium price before the tax was imposed, and Qe was the equilibrium quantity. After the tax, PC is the price that consumers pay, and PS is the price that producers receive. QT units are sold after the tax is imposed. NOTE: The areas B and C are rectangles that are divided by the supply curve ST. Include both sections of those rectangles when choosing your answers.

To enable more citizens to buy more gasoline, the Government decides to give gasoline producers a subsidy of $5 per unit- Using the supply and demande quations from #2. What price will consumer's pay and how much gasoline will they buy (note the answersm ay be fractions or in decimal points)? How much will the Government spend on the subsidy? What will be the change in producer surplus?arrow_forwardThe linear demand curve is: Q = 100 - 4P The linear supply curve is: QS = -20 + 2P For each of the following questions, you need to show the basic calculation steps. 1) Given the above market demand and supply curves for the bottled wine in a hypothetical economy, please calculate the market equilibrium price and market equilibrium quantity for a bottle of wine. 2) If the government decides to charge an excise tax at the rate of 3 for each bottle of wine, what is the tax burden on consumers? And what is the tax burden on the firms? Show your calculation steps. B) Who shares more of the tax burden, the consumer or the firms? Please explain the reasons behind it.arrow_forward

In a diagram show the effect of the new law on the market ( Do not try to give a algebraic solution, just show what happens graphically and describe. Please illustrate how the tax of m shifts the specific curves. In the approach of modeling taxes and subsidies.
