4. The Laffer curve Government-imposed taxes cause reductions in the activity that is being taxed, which has important implications for revenue collections. To understand the effect of such a tax, consider the monthly market for gin, which is shown on the following graph. 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.

Need help with this. Picture 2 empty spots possible answers, You can choose only 1: Consider the graph. Suppose that the price of a sedan increased from $15,000 to $20,000. This would cause amovement along_______________(CHOOSE BETWEEN THESE: Movement along or shift of) the demand curve. A decrease in average income causes a leftward___________ (CHOOSE BETWEEN THESE: Movement along or shift of) the demand curve; therefore, you may conclude that sedans are___________(CHOOSE BETWEEN THESE: a normal or an inferior) good. (Hint: Try substituting different values for Average Income in the graph input tool and observing what happens.) Suppose that the price of a subway ride falls from $3.00 to $2.50. Because driving a car and taking the subway are____________(CHOOSE BETWEEN: substitute goods or complementary goods) , a decrease in the price of a subway ride shifts the demand curve for sedans to the______________(CHOOSE BETWEEN THESE: right or left) .

5. Consider an economy with two goods, A and B. Suppose the price of good A is p and let the price of good B be 1. There is a large number of identical consumers. The indifference curves of consumers have the usual shape with diminishing marginal rate of substitution between the two goods. Suppose the government must raise a tax revenue of R, and can do this either by imposing a per-unit tax of t on good A, or by imposing a lump-sum tax T on each consumer. Which policy would the consumers prefer? Explain your reasoning carefully, using any appropriate diagram, and explain the intuition behind your result.
FRONT PAGE State Lotteries: A Tax on the Uneducated and the Poor Americans now spend over $85 billion a year on lottery tickets. That's more than we spend on sporting events, books, video games, movies, and music combined. That spending works out to about $650 a household. Poor people are proportionally the biggest buyers of lottery tickets. Households with less than $25,000 of income spend $1,100 a year on lottery tickets. By contrast, households with more than $50,000 of income buy only $300 of lottery tickets each year. Education also affects lottery spending: 2.7 percent of high school dropouts are compulsive lottery players, while only 1.1 percent of college grads play compulsively. Because lottery games are a sucker's game to start with-payouts average less than 60 percent of sales-lotteries are effectively a regressive tax on the uneducated and the es poor. Source: Research on lottery sales. According to Front Page Economics, what percentage of income is spent on lottery tickets…
Only typed answer Use the demand and supply curves below to answer the following question: Demand: P= 20-Q Supply: P=10+Q Suppose now the government places a 2 dollar tax on consumers.

CHAPTER 6 Household Behavior and Consumer Choice 127 E 8. Decide whether you agree or disagree with each of the following statements and explain your reason: a. If the income effect of a wage change dominates the substitu- tion effect for a given household and the household works longer hours following a wage change, wages must have risen. b. In product markets, when a price falls, the substitution effect leads to more consumption; but for normal goods, the income effect leads to less consumption. 9. Suppose the price of X is $5 and the price of Y is $10 and a hypo- thetical household has $500 to spend per month on goods X and Y. a. Sketch the household budget constraint. b. Assume that the household splits its income equally between X and Y. Show where the household ends up on the budget constraint. c. Suppose the household income doubles to $1,000. Sketch the new budget constraint facing the household. d. Suppose after the change the household spends $200 on Y and $800 on X. Does…
3. Based on each scenario in this question, indicate whether the following statements is true or false, and briefly explain your reasoning. You may also want to use a graph in your explanation if you think it's necessary. a) Mike makes $500 per week and spends all her income on books and tea. Books cost $25 each, and Mike buys 16 each week. Tea costs $5 per cup, and Mike buys 20 cups. When Mike's income falls to $450 per week, he cuts his consumption of books by 3 books and purchases 5 more cups of tea. Based on Mike's consumption behaviors, books are an inferior good and Tea is a normal good. b) Lucy consumes food and clothing. For incomes near her current income, her income expansion path is negatively sloped. Assume that food is measured along the horizontal axis and clothing is measured along the vertical axis. Therefore, at current income levels, both food and clothing must be inferior good. c) For any normal goods, the income and substitution effects work in the same direction.…
1. Gorgeousleny with an income of P150 would like to buy two goods. Let us say juice and bread. Price of juice is P12 and price of bread is P6. If gorgeousleny will buy the ist 5 juices she is entitled to a 50% off. Draw the graph. After a week gorgeousleny went back to the store and will still buy her two favorite goods with the same income of P150 and price of bread and juice is constant. but this time the promo of 50% off is applied after the ist 5 juices. Draw the graph. . a. ) Measure the qty. of bread on the vertical axis and the qty. of juice on the horizontal axis. Label both graph with its corresponding points, pt. A for bread and point B for juice. the combination of bread and juice label it as point C. b.) For both graph, What is the slope from point C to point B?; What is the slope from from point A to point C?
