- Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine consumers a tax. Before the tax, 15 million bottles of wine were sold every month at a price of $7 per bottle. After the tax, 9 million bottles of wine are sold every month; consumers pay $10 per bottle (including the tax), and producers receive $4 per bottle. The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $_______ per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $________per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $_______per bottle.arrow_forwardFigure: Commodity Tax Price $2.25 1.75 1.50 0 100 200 325 400 D₂ D₁ Quantity If a $0.75 tax is imposed on sellers of candy bars, the new equilibrium is: O 325 candy bars at $2.25 each. 325 candy bars at $1.50 each. 325 candy bars at $1.75 each. 400 candy bars at $2.25 each.arrow_forwardA few hundred U.S. sugar makers lobby the U.S. government each year to make sure that the government taxes imported sugar at a high rate. They do so because the policy drives up the domestic price of sugar and increases their profits. It is estimated that the policy benefits U.S. sugar producers by about. $1 billion per year while costing U.S. consumers upwards of $2 billion per year. Which of the following concepts apply to the U.S. sugar tax? a. Political corruption. b. Rent-seeking behavior. c. The collective-action problem. d. The special-interest effect.arrow_forward
- Question 5: Combined state and federal taxes on gasoline average around 50 cents per gallon, and these taxes are statutorily levied on gasoline sellers. Because the demand for gasoline is relatively inelastic compared to the supply of gasoline: buyers likely do not bear much of the actual burden because it is statutorily levied on sellers who must submit the tax payments. sellers likely bear most of the actual burden of the tax through lower gasoline prices. O the net price received by sellers after they pay taxes likely falls by almost the full amount of the tax. O buyers likely bear most of the actual burden of the tax through higher gasoline prices.arrow_forward6. What is a "brain drain" as it relates to international migra- tion?

- Suppose that a country has 20 million households. Ten million are poor households that each have labor market earnings of $20,000 per year and 10 million are rich households that each have labor market earnings of $80,000 per year. If the government enacted a marginal tax of 10 percent on all labor market earnings above $20,000 and transferred this money to households earning $20,000 or less, would the incomes of the poor rise by $8,000 per year? O A. No. Workers in rich and poor households would work less because of the marginal tax. O B. Yes. 10% of $80,000 is $8,000; therefore, $8,000 from each rich household would be transferred to each poor household. O C. There is not enough information to determine household behavior in this case. O D. No. Only workers in rich households would work less because of the marginal tax.arrow_forwardSuppose demand and supply of gasoline are given by the following linear functions: Qd = 100 - 20P Qs = 50 + 10P where Q is the quantity in millions of litres and P is the price per litre.
