185.Suppose the government wanted to impose a tax and wanted the entire burden of the tax to fall on the sellers. What would have to be true of a market for this to be posible? (A) The sellers would have to have a perfectly inelastic supply curve, and the buyers would have to have a perfectly inelastic demand curve. (B) The buyers would have to have a perfectly elastic demand curve, and the sellers must not have a perfectly elastic supply curve. (C) The sellers would have to have a perfectly inelastic supply curve, and buyers must not have a perfectly inelastic demand curve. (D) The buyers would have to have a perfectly inelastic demand curve, and the sellers would need not to have perfectly elastic supply curve. (E) Noithor huver nor seller should have nerfectly elastic or perfectly inelastic curves.

1. The Reinheitsgebot is a set of laws established in the 1500s that regulate the production and sale of beer in Germany. Among its provisions, the edict set maximum prices that brewers could charge at various times of the year: During Oktoberfest, the price for one [Bavarian Liter] is not to exceed one Pfennig (Penny, Munich value). Suppose that the demand for beer is given by $QD = 6000-1600P, and the supply of beer is given by QS = -1000+2000P. a) If a 1-Pfennig price ceiling is imposed, does the price ceiling make society better off? Does it make beer producers better off? Does it make beer drinkers better off?
indicate whether you think the statement is true or false andexplain why. 9. Natural gas and coal are two fuels used for electricity generation and their cross-price elasticity is positive.10. A tax on gasoline will have a smaller deadweight loss if the demand for gas is inelasticthan if it is elastic.11. If the solar panel industry is competitive, the marginal firm makes zero profits in the longrun.12. The supply of goods depends on the vertical aggregation of individual demands.13. Applying dynamic efficiency to non-depletable renewable energy is not necessary becauseits quantity will not in the future.14. Given a competitive oil market and zero extraction cost, dynamic efficiency entails that thecurrent oil price equals the present discounted value of the future price.

1. Supposed that UMA Condominiums are an ordinary good and demand for Condominiums is inelastic. What is the effect on Nagenyos Consumer Surplus if there is a decrease in price of Condominiums? Explain. 2. Based from your answer in the questions pertaining to the supply of Condominiums in response to the demand of Nagenyos, enumerate at least two (2) possible effects of the determinants of demand ( (a) price, (b) income, (c) price of related goods like apartments and residential houses, and (d) consumer taste and expectation) and determinants of supply ( (a) flexibility of inputs, (b) mobility of inputs, (c) ability to produce substitute and (d) time ).
Tax Incidence and Efficiency The market demand for a product is Q-270-6P, and the market supply is Q,= -130 + 10P, where Q, and Q, are quantity demanded and supplied, respectively, and P is price. Questions: a. What is equilibrium price and quantity in this market? Equatrium Price: Equilibrium Quantity b. Enter a formula to calculate price elasticity of demand using the equilibrium price and quantity as the base values. c. Enter a similar formula to calculate price elasticity of supply.
Question 3 The current price of a good is $25, and 100 units are demanded at that price. The price elasticity of demand for the good is-2. When the price of the good drops by 4 percent to $24, consumer surplus will increase or decrease? By how much?
QUESTION 46 46. Given that the U.S. government mandates the use of ethanol as a partial substitute for gasoline (10% by volume), and that ethanol manufactured in the U.S. is made from corn, what will happen if the government eliminates the price support for corn? a) Demand for ethanol will increase. b) Demand for ethanol will decrease. c) Supply of ethanol will increase. d) Supply of ethanol will decrease. e) Both (a) and (c)
a. Assume that the elasticity of demand for Fanta is -0.5 while the elasticity of supply is 0.7. Assuming further that a tax of K10 is applied on each bottle of Fanta sold, how much of this will be borne by producers. b. Assume that the price of good X is K10 while that of good Y is K20. A consumer has allocated consumption between the two goods in such a way that the marginal utility of X is 15 utils and that of Y is 25 utils. Is this an optimal consumption bundle? If not, what should the consumer do to reach the optimum?
Don't use chatgpt and make sure you include the graphs needed (a) Suppose in a competitive market, the market demand curve for salt is infinitelyinelastic. What is the impact of a per-unit tax (i.e. a specific tax) on the priceof salt that consumers pay?(b) Suppose the demand curve for butter is Q = 50 − 3P and the supply curve isQ = 2P. Suppose the government announces a per-unit tax of 1 on the priceof butter. Tax on butter can be seen as a ’fat tax’. What is the overall effectof a fat tax on the consumers? (c) If you were a policymaker and wanted to promote a fat tax in the UK, whatwould you cover in your policy campaign?
