Suppose a local government votes to impose an excise tax of $0.90 per bottle on the sales of bottled water. (Assume that all bottles are identical and residents cannot shop elsewhere.) Before the tax the equilibrium price and quantity are $1.20 and 2000 bottles per day. After the tax is imposed, market equilibrium adjusts to a price of $1.70 and quantity of 1300 bottles per day. a. Draw the supply and demand diagram before and after the excise tax is imposed. 1.) Using the line drawing tool, plot the original and new supply curves and label the lines properly. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, indicate the original and new equilibrium points and label these points properly. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.

Calculate the size of the deadweight loss. (b) On the graph, shade or label the region equal to the tax revenue from the tax. Calculate the size of the tax revenue.

Attached is a graph diagram depicting the market for soft drinks. If an excise tax equal to $1 per liter is levied on soft drink sellers, please answer the following questions: a. The new equilibrium quantity of soft drinks bought and sold would be ___________ million liters. b. The new equilibrium price paid by buyers of soft drinks would be $__________ per liter. c. The new equilibrium price received by sellers (after-tax) would be $__________ per liter.
The demand for tomatoes is Q = 40-4P and the supply of tomatoes is Q = P +10. Answer the following questions. (a) Suppose that $1 per unit tax is levied on the consumers. Who bears the economic incidence of this tax? (b) Calculate the deadweight loss (c) Suppose that stores will pay $1 per unit tax directly. What will happen to the "sticker price" on tomatoes? How will the size of the consumer tax burden change? (d) Suppose that tax is increased to $2 per unit on the consumers. Calculate the deadweight loss. Compare the size of the deadweight loss with (b).

9. Effect of a tax on buyers and sellers The following graph shows the daily market for shoes when the tax on sellers is set at $0 per pair. Suppose the government institutes a tax of $23.20 per pair, to be paid by the seller. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly. Hint: To see the impact of the tax, first enter the value of the tax in the Tax on Sellers field. Adjust the value in the price field to move the green line to the after-tax equilibrium so that quantity demanded equals quantity supplied.

Suppose also that the price elastic- ity of demand for cigarettes is 1.2 and the price elasticity of supply is 0.7. Because this tax is levied on the sale of a speciﬁ c good, it is an excise tax. a progressive tax. a regressive tax. a proportional tax. a lump-sum tax.

Suppose that the government decides to charge cola consumers an excise tax. Before the tax, 12 million cases of cola are sold every month at a price of $3.50 per case. After the tax, 6million cases of cola are sold every month; consumers pay $4.00 per case and producers receive $2.00 per case. a. What is the excise tax on cola?b. On whom does the incidence of the tax fall more heavily?c. How much government revenue will be generated by the excise tax?
