When supply-side economists propose cuts in tax rates, most mainstream economists are likely to take the position that they will be: Group of answer choices Effective because the supply-side effects will outweigh the demand-side effects Effective because the demand-side effects will outweigh the supply-side effects Ineffective because the demand-side effects will outweigh the supply-side effects Ineffective because the demand-side and supply-side effects will offset each other

Explain why each of the following statements is True, False, or Uncertain according to economic principles. Use diagrams where appropriate. It is the explanation that is important. A1-1. Theoretically, taxes on the sales of sugary soft drinks are perfect; they reduce consumption dramatically and raise a lot of revenue. [Hint: Assume a per-unit tax and a horizontal supply curve for soft drinks.] A1-2. If the demand function for chicken is given by Qc = 100 – .25Pc + 10Pt + 100M, where Qc is the quantity of chicken demanded, Pc is the price of chicken, Pt is price of turkey, and M is the average income of consumers, then we can conclude that chicken has a downward sloping demand curve, is a substitute for turkey, and is a normal good. Please answer both and write neatly please
How a tax burden is divided between consumers and producers is called tax incidence. Consumers bear most of the tax burden when: Group of answer choices Demand is more elastic than supply The firm decides to pass none of the tax on to the consumer via a higher price. Supply is more elastic than demand. Cross elasticity of demand is .35
Problem 6-9 Demand change effects on government revenue The market for Titanium has supply given by P = Q and demand given by P = 12 - Q. The government introduces a tax of €3/g. Yet, the market experiences growth in the demand for titanium because of new-found medical uses. The new demand curve is P= 13 - Q. Find the change in government tax revenue due to the increased demand for titanium. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) € million
“The Prime Minister claims that funding the increase in NHS and social care spending by national insurance [paying higher NICs] is preferable, because firms pay part of the cost. This is a fiction. In the long run the burden of payroll taxes, even those paid by companies, falls on workers, whose wages fall as their employers’ tax bills rise.” The Economist 11-09-202. Is “The Economist” right in its counter-claim? (Hint: use a market equilibrium model of demand and supply for labour)
When supply and demand are equally elastic: producers carry the majority of the tax burden. consumers carry the majority of the tax burden. producers and consumers carry an equal amount of the tax burden. consumers carry all of the tax burden.
How can tax incidences have a positive and negative impact on the economy?
Identify the effect of increase in tax rates on either demand or supply curve and the equilibruim interst rates.
i. The elasticity of demand for beer in country A is 1.8 and the elasticity of demand for beer in country B is 1.7. Suppose that the supply of beer is the same in both countries and that both countries impose the same level of tax on beer. Does the consumer in country A share more burden of tax? Suppose the demand curve for sugar is Q = 60-3P and the supply curve is Q=2P. Suppose the government announces a per-unit tax of 1 on the price of sugar. What is the deadweight loss from the tax? Why do you think a policymaker and a consumer might interpret this deadweight loss differently?
