The government is in need of tax revenue and has narrowed down the choice of markets to tax to two: cigarettes or t-shirts. The markets are summarised below.   Cigarettes   Demand: P = 100 – 4Q   Supply: P = Q   T-shirts   Demand: P = 35 – ½Q   Supply: P = 5 + ½Q   Graph the two markets and calculate the equilibrium price and quantity.   If the government implemented a $5 tax on each market, how much tax revenue could each market generate?   If you were an economic advisor, which market would you suggest taxing and why?

The following graph shows the weekly market for craft beer in some hypothetical economy. Suppose the government levies a tax of $40.60 per case. The tax places a wedge between the price buyers pay and the price sellers receive. PRICE (Dolars per case) 200 180 160 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 + Buyers Sellers Demand Before Tax After Tax Tax Wedge Supply 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 QUANTITY (Cases of craft beer) Complete the following table by filling in the quantity sold, the price buyers pay, and the price sellers receive before and after the tax. Quantity Price Buyers Pay (Cases of craft beer) (Dollars per case) Price Sellers Receive (Dollars per case) Using your answers from the previous table, calculate the tax burden that falls on buyers and on sellers, respectively, and calculate the price elasticity of demand and supply over the relevant ranges using the midpoint method. Enter your results in the following table. Tax Burden (Dollars per case) Elasticity The tax burden…

Price MC, =S Ds D Quantity Figure 10 Demand and supply curves Towards the right of Figure 10 are two circular red markers with a line between them that you can use to draw a MCp – subsidy curve on Figure 10. You can move the markers with the mouse by clicking on them and dragging. Alternatively, you can tab to each marker and then use the keyboard arrow keys. A report from Cycling England has suggested that a £70m investment in cycling each year could save the government £520m per year. The savings result from the positive benefits of increased cycling - lower carbon dioxide emissions and lower NHS costs as we become healthier. These positive consumption externalities are shown in the diagram below by the demand curve Ds. This is the level of demand society would prefer at each price once the externalities are recognised. The government decides to subsidise the production of bikes to encourage consumption of cycling. Move the markers to drag the line to the correct place on the diagram…

The following graph depicts a market where a tax has been imposed. 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. Which areas represent the revenue collected from this tax?     A + B + F     B + C     F + G     E     A + E

@bulldogs.a.... 37,279 Q CENGAGE MINDTAP PRICE (Dollars per scooter) Homework (Ch 08) Consider the market for electric scooters. The following graph shows the demand and supply for electric scooters before the government imposes any taxes. 100 90 80 First, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity of electric scooters in the absence of a tax. Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer surplus (CS) at the equilibrium price. Next, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing total producer surplus (PS) at the equilibrium price.

The ticket price for a play at a Broadway theater is $160, and the theater is full every night. The theater owner, in consultation with a local non-profit arts group, wants to make attending the play more affordable, to open up the theater experience to patrons with more limited budgets. The owner decides to lower the ticket price to $50. Sketch a supply-anddemand graph that represents the market for these play tickets under this price-ceiling policy. Briefly explain why this market is not in equilibrium when the price ceiling is in effect. On your graph, clearly identify the size of the shortage or surplus this market will experience.

Economists in Champaign have been studying the local market for pizza. The market is described in the graph below:     What is the price elasticity of demand(in absolute value) when the price changes from $7 to $5?(Round your answer to include 2 decimal places.)

Suppose the government forces the price to be below the equilibrium.  Is this called a price floor or a price ceiling? Explain why the government might do this and the likely economic impact of the price floor or ceiling.   Then, explain how market forces will attempt to move the market price to equilibrium.
