changed to 5 (P = 5) from the market equilibrium
(Question 10).
12. Use the percentage change in quantity and
price to calculate the price elasticity of demand
from this change
13. What is new consumer surplus and producer
surplus? Who gets benefit from this price change?

Relationship between tax revenues, deadweight loss, and demand elasticity The government is considering levying a tax of $80 per unit on suppliers of either leather jackets or smartphones. The supply curve for each of these two goods is identical, as you can see on each of the following graphs. The demand for leather jackets is shown by DLDL (on the first graph), and the demand for smartphones is shown by DSDS (on the second graph). Suppose the government taxes leather jackets. The following graph shows the annual supply and demand for this good. It also shows the supply curve (S+TaxS+Tax) shifted up by the amount of the proposed tax ($80 per jacket).

- Suppose the government imposes a $3 excise tax on the sale of sweaters in Alaska by charging suppliers $3 for each sweater sold. Using economic analysis, we would predict that: the price of sweaters will increase but by less than $3 consumers of sweaters will bear the entire amount of the tax the price of sweaters will decrease by $3 the price of sweaters will increase by $3 From the lecture video on elasticity, suppose a surfboard producer was considering lowering the price of surfboards in order to increase total revenues. Under what conditions would this idea work?) Always, because when producers lower price, consumption increases. This is the Law of Demand. When the elasticity of demand is inelastic.
