The supply and demand sets for a product produced by The Firm are S = {(q,p)|q = bp — a}, D = {(q,p)|q = c - dp} where a, b, c, d are positive constants. Suppose that, under new regulations associated with recovering costs associated with the global pandemic, the government wishes to raise as much money as possible by imposing an excise tax on products such as that produced by The Firm. Show that the optimum value of this excise tax is given by bc - ad

Just part B. Please write it out on paper. Typing it back to back is difficult to understand what you mean.

The market demand function for corn is Q¹ = 30 - 2P. The market supply function is Q = 5P-2.5, both measured in billions of bushels per year. Suppose the government imposes a $8.10 tax per bushel. What will be the effects on aggregate surplus, consumer surplus, and producer surplus? What will be the deadweight loss created by the tax? Instructions: Round your quantities to the nearest whole number. Round prices, surpluses and deadweight losses to 2 decimal places. a. What are the initial equilibrium effects? Complete the table below. Initial equilibrium price Initial equilibrium quantity Initial equilibrium consumer surplus Initial equilibrium producer surplus After-tax equilibrium price After-tax equilibrium quantity After-tax equilibrium consumer surplus After-tax equilibrium producer surplus $ Government revenue After-tax equilibrium aggregate surplus Deadweight loss $ Initial equilibrium aggregate surplus b. What are the effects after the government imposes a $8.10 tax per bushel.…

The figure to the right shows the market for one-bedroom apartments in Calgary. If this market is initially unregulated, thousand units will rent for a price of $ per month. Suppose however, the city imposes the controlled price shown in the figure. In this case, in the short run, the market experiences an excess of thousand units. In the long run, if the controlled price remains in place, the market will show a of thousand units. This analysis indicates that as time passes, rent controls will cause housing shortages to Rental Price ($ per month) 905 610 Rental Housing Market Sshort run Slong run Controlled Price 24 50 60 Quantity of Rental Units (Thousands)

In a town behind the local mountains, 3 individuals each buy flowers following theirindividual demands P = 8 − Q and 2 individuals each follow their individual demand P = 3 −Q. For prices between $0 to $3, the town’s aggregate demand for flowers is given by(a) P = 11 − 2Q(b) P = 30 − 5Q(c) P = 30 −Q5(d) P = 6 −Q5(e) None of the above

The market demand for bicycle helmets is given by D(P) = 90−4P and the market supply ischaracterized by S(P) =P−10. In both expressions, P is the price per unit. The government introduces a per unit subsidy of S per helmet, that is paid out to the producer for each sale of helmets. (a) What is the equilibrium price and quantity before the government intervenes in the market? (b) What is the equilibrium price and quantity after the government intervenes in the marketimposing a per subsidy S >0? Hint: You have to find the equilibrium for all relevant levels of S. (c) Calculate changes in consumer surplus, producer surplus and welfare, as a function of subsidy S, due to the introduction of the subsidy. What welfare conclusion(s) do you draw? Illustrate graphically.

In the free-market equilibrium of a perfectly competitive market, the price of the good is 90 dollars and the elasticity of demand and the elasticity of supply values are respectively Ed* = -6.6 and Es* = 4.1 Suppose the government imposes a per-unit tax equal to 10.4 payable by consumers. Calculate the estimate of the price firms charge consumers in the tax equilibrium using the elasticity values provided above. Then enter that price value below.

Suppose that the demand and supply functions for good x are given as follows: Q-120-2P, +1+P, and Q=-30+P, -2r+s-2/ where P, denotes the price of good x, P, denotes the price of a related product y. I denotes income, t denotes tax firms face, s denotes subsidy and f denotes factor prices. Suppose also that exogenous variables are given as follows: Income (I)-450, Price of the related product (P₂)-30, tax (1)-24, subsidy (s)-15 and factor prices (1)-36. What is the cross price elasticity of demand at the equilibrium? -0.27 and thus products x and y are complements. 0.27 and thus products x and y are substitutes. -0.23 and thus products x and y are complements. 0.23 and thus products x and y are substitutes.

(1)Find q, ∂q/∂Y and ∂q/∂p, when the price that the firm sets is $30.00, and the average disposable income in the market is $3,000.00. (2)Find the price-elasticity of demand for the firm's good at the point in part (1).Use your answer to (2) to estimate the percentage change in demand if the firm raises the price for their good to $31.00 (and average income in the market stays fixed).

Consider the market for pork illustrated in the graph. Suppose initial demand (D') is Q = 290 – 20p and supply (S') is Q = 80 + 40p and that a $3.00 tax is charged to consumers, shifting the demand curve to D. Using the original and after-tax pork demand functions and the supply function, derive the initial equilibrium price and quantity and the after-tax equilibrium price and quantity. %24 (Enter all responses using real numbers rounded to two decimal places) The equilibrium price is initially $ per kg.
