What effect does a per-gallon tax on gasoline have on the market for gasoline? Who pays for the increase in tax?
Explain what would be likely to happen if the government placed a price ceiling of $1/gallon on gasoline. Your answer should consist of a complete well-written paragraph using complete sentences as well as a supply and demand diagram.
In 2014, oil facilities in Iraq were attacked and strong economies in the United States and China boosted the demand for oil.
a. Demonstrate graphically how these events led to increases in oil prices in June 2004. What was the effect on the equilibrium quantity of oil bought and sold?
b. As a result of political pressure, OPEC agreed to increase the daily quota by 2 million barrels a day. What was the likely effect on equilibrium oil price and quantity? Demonstrate your answer graphically.

- You will analyze the Market for Gasoline Step 1: Draw a supply-and-demand diagram. Price is on the vertical axis, quantity is on the horizontal axis, demand is downward-sloping, supply is upward- sloping, and be sure to label equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity. Step 2. Change colors! If you have a highlighter or colored pencil (crayon, sharpie, whatever). Step 3. Show the change in demand or supply (only one curve will shift in each scenario). State if the curve decreases or increases. Step 4: Show the new equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity. Step 5: Repeat Steps 1-4 for each scenario. You will have a total of 4 graphs. Scenario A: A hurricane destroys refineries that produce gasoline. Scenario B: Consumers purchase electric vehicles that do not need gasoline. • Scenario C: Technological innovation occurs that reduces the cost of producing gasoline.

Why?arrow_forwardGiven what you have learned about 1) demand (and its determinants) and quantity demanded and 2) supply (and its determinants) and quantity supplied. Peanut crops have been destroyed by fungus. Consumers are substituting almond butter for peanut butter because they perceive it to be a healthier option. The prices of both peanut butter and almond butter are rising. Why? Since peanuts were destroyed by fungus this will lead to a decrease in the supply of peanuts used to make peanut butter. A decrease in supply will lead to an increase in the price of peanut butter. Almond butter is being used as a substitute for peanut butter because it is healthier. This will increase demand which will increase the price. Am I in the right ballpark here as to why both prices increased? A graph will really help me grasp how to solve this. Thank youarrow_forward
