In 2020 the UK government introduced a sales tax on all products bought online from overseas. Please note this is not a tariff – it is a tax. The tax will be 2% of the value of the products sold in the UK. This tax is collected from online sellers such as Amazon or ebay. Source: BBC (2019). See link: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-50656106   Consider the market for online products. The initial market equilibrium is at 10 million products sold per year at an average price of $500 each. Then, the UK government imposes a tax on the market, collected from sellers (for example Amazon and ebay). The tax is 2% per item (each item has an average price of $500).   Show the effect of this on the market for online products. Show the effect on consumers of online products, on the online sellers and on the government. Does the UK economy gain or lose as a result of the tax? Explain why. Use a diagram to support your answer.

The following diagram represents the market for paperback books. Which area represents producer surplus? Price per book 30 (dollars) с B O A A X 15 15 None of the above. 30 Thousands of books per week

Graphically, producer surplus is the area from the market price ($120) down to the supply curve and over to the equilibrium quantity of 120.

In a perfectly competitive market for cheese with downward sloping demand and upward sloping supply, the equilibrium price is $12 per kilo. If the government imposes a price ceiling of $10, we can conclude that the government policy will: Select one: a. reduce the number of units sold only if demand is elastic b. decrease producer surplus and decrease total surplus c. reduce the number of units sold only if demand is inelastic d. decrease producer surplus but increase total surplus e. increase producer surplus but decrease total surplus

Please explain

Use the graph below to answer the following questions: a) what is the level of producer surplus if the market clearing price is $6?  b) calculate the change in producer surplus if price increases from $6 to $8.  c) what is the elasticity of supply in the $6-$8 price range?

For years the government has subsidized higher education through grants; consider the demand and supply for college credit hours at a local private liberal arts collegeQD = 6,000 – 300PQS = 700P – 500 where P is the price, in hundreds of dollars, and Q is the number of credit hours per semester. Suppose the government subsidizes credit hours at a rate of $120 per hour. Calculate changes in consumer surplus. What is the size of the deadweight loss?
