Suppose that the local government of Santa Fe decides to institute a tax on seltzer producers. Before the tax, 15 million packs of seltzer were sold every month at a price of $11 per pack. After the tax, 9 million packs of seltzer are sold every month; consumers pay $14 per pack, and producers receive $7 per pack (after paying the tax). The amount of the tax on a pack of seltzer is $ burden that falls on producers is $ O True per pack. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been the same as if the tax had been levied on consumers. O False per pack. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $ per pack, and the

Concerned about the political fallout from rising gas prices, suppose that the U.S. government imposes a price ceiling of $3.00 a gallon on gasoline. Explain how the market for gasoline would react to this price ceiling if a global shortage of oil sent the equilibrium price of gasoline to $3.50 a gallon. Would the U.S. gasoline market be efficient?
You are an economist in the Internal Revenue System and just heard of a plan to increase the sales tax on a certain widget by $.06. Last year customers purchased about 10 million widgets. The demand curve in the last year was such that a $.01 increasein price decreases sales by 100,000. A study showed that a $.01 increase in price resulted in producers willing to provide 50,000 more widgets to the market. Congress stated that this$.06 tax will increase government revenues by $600,000 and raise the price of each widget by $.06. Is this correct? If so, explain why this is the case and, if not, what is the increase in prices and revenues?

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 2100 bottles per day. After the tax is imposed, market equilibrium adjusts to a price of $2.00 and quantity of 1400 bottles per day. How much revenue from the tax does the local government collect each day?
