Suppose that the long-run price elasticity of demand for gasoline is 0.55. Assume that the price of gasoline is currently
$4.00 per gallon, the quantity of gasoline is 140 billion gallons per year, and the federal government decides to increase
the excise tax on gasoline by $1.00 per gallon. Suppose that in the long run the price of gasoline increases by $0.70 per
gallon after the $1.00 excise tax is imposed.

- hello, can explain to me how to solve the question step by step? TQ Suppose the cable TV industry is currently unregulated. However, due to complaints from consumers that the price of cable TV is too high, the legislature is considering placing a price ceiling on cable TV below the current equilibrium price. Assuming the government does make this price ceiling law, please construct a diagram that shows the impact of this law on the cable TV market, and please briefly explain the effects on market prices and quantities with supply and demand analysis. Also, if the cable TV company is worried about disgruntling customers, the company may introduce a different type of programming that is cheaper for the company to provide yet is equally appealing to customers.
