Determine the equilibrium price and quantity of computer keyboards. Based on this, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer surplus at the equilibrium price. Then, use the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing producer surplus at the equilibrium price.

Suppose a $4 per-unit tax is imposed on the sellers of this good. What price will buyers pay for the good after the tax is imposed? b. Suppose a $4 per-unit tax is imposed on the sellers of this good. How much is the burden of this tax on the buyers in this market?
1. Determinants of the price elasticity of demand Consider some determinants of the price elasticity of demand: • The availability of close substitutes • Whether the good is a necessity or a luxury • How broadly you define the market • The time horizon being considered A good without any close substitutes is likely to have relatively _____ demand, since consumers cannot easily switch to a substitute good if the price of the good rises.
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.
2. Taxes and welfare Consider the market for electric scooters. The following graph shows the demand and supply for electric scooters before the government imposes any taxes. First, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity of electric scooters in the absence of a tax. Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer surplus (CS) at the equilibrium price. Next, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing total producer surplus (PS) at the equilibrium price.
