- Please written by computer source Suppose that the demand curve for a product is given by Q = 100 −10p and the supply curve is Q = 10p. Assume that income effects (elasticities) are small so consumer surplus is a good measure of consumer welfare. (a) What is the equilibrium price and quantity with no distortions? (b) The government imposes a tax of $2.00 per unit sold. What is the new equilibrium quantity? Sketch the market equilibrium in a graph. (c) Given the tax what is the change in consumer surplus? What is the change in producer surplus? What is the change in government revenue? What is the net Dead Weight Loss from the tax? (d) Say the government proposes to use the revenue from the tax to pay for snacks in our last ECON 312A lecture. The total social benefits from the snacks would be $82.00. Will the tax increase overall welfare if the revenue is used to buy the snacks? What is the dollar value of the net gain or loss to society?arrow_forwardThe value of a price-distorting subsidy for a three-bedroom apartment is $100 per month. This means that the person choosing to live in an apartment of that size would have to pay an extra $100 per month at the market rent. Then it follows that: A.that person would be just as well off if she received a cash subsidy of less than $100 per month. B.that person would be better off if she received a cash subsidy of $100 per month. C.that person would be better off if she received a cash subsidy of $100 per month, or that person would be just as well off if she received a cash subsidy of less than $100 per month D.that person would be worse off if she received a cash subsidy of $100 per month.arrow_forwardIf Charmin discovered a new, cheaper, production method for toilet paper would this, ceteris paribus, be reflected as a change in demand or a change in supply in the market for Charmin toilet paper - a normal good? Explain. Be sure to clearly identify a textbook variable or determinant that is causing this change. Would this change be an increase or decrease? Explain. Would this change result in a surplus or in a shortage in the market for Charmin toilet paper? Explain. Given this surplus or shortage, how will a new equilibrium be established? What do you predict will happen to the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity exchanged in the market for Charmin toilet paper? Explain.arrow_forward

The supply curve for this product is given by Qs=4P-8. Answer the following questions and provide a graph illustration. a) Determine the equilibrium price? b) Calculate the elasticity of demand and supply at the equilibrium price. c) Determine the consumer surplus and producer surplus at the equilibrium price? d) Suppose that the government imposes a floor price of A$15 and promises to buy any surplus (e.g., Q³- QD) on the market. Determine the new consumer surplus, the new producer surplus, and the government expenditure of this policy e) Instead of using the floor price, now the government imposes a A$3 tax on each kg sold, determine the market price after having this tax policy. f) Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus and tax revenue. g) Using the concepts of demand and supply elasticity, predict which party, the…arrow_forwardThe following relations describe monthly demand and supply for a computer support service to small businesses: Qd=3000-10P Qs=-1000+10P whrer Q is the number of businesses that need services and P is the monthly fee, in dollars. a. at what average monthly fee would demand equal zero? b. at what average monthly fee would supply equal zero? c. plot the supply and demand curves. d. what is the equilibrium price/output level? e. Suppose demand increases and leads to a new demand curve: Qd = 3500 - 10P f. Suppose new suppliers enter the market due to the increase in demand so the new suply curve is Q=-500+10P.
