- 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.

Consider the demand curve for Sedans in the United States. For simplicity, assume that all sedans are identical and sell for the same price. Also, assume that: The current market price of Sedans is $30,000 Average Household income is $60,000 per year Price of a gallon of gas is $5 per gallon Price of a subway ride is $2.50 Suppose the price of a sedan decreased from $30,000 to $25,000. This would cause a the demand curve. If an increase in average income causes a rightward shift of the demand curve, then you may conclude that sedans are a good. Suppose that the price of a gallon of gas rises from $5 to $6. Because sedans and gasoline are of a gallon of gas shifts the demand curve for sedans to the an increase in the price 2. With respect to each of the following changes, identify whether the demand curve will shift leftward or rightward. a) An increase in income (the good under…arrow_forward12 Jim's Camera shop sells two high-end cameras, the Sky Eagle and Horizon.
