6. The government decides to place a $6 unit tax on a product. The following elasticities are known: E, = - 1; E,= 2. By how much does the price paid by the demanders increase because of this tax?
(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? 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? Please do not use chat gpt and answer the best way it can be.

Rising Bangladesh exports hold lessons for India: Eco Survey NEW DELHI: The Economic Survey 2021 on Friday suggested that India can take some "lessons" from Bangladesh, a strong exporting nation, and focus on specialising in products in which it is competitive. It said that Bangladesh seems poised to emerge as a dominant exporter as its outbound shipments posted an impressive compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6 per cent during 2011-2019, compared to 0.9 per cent for India and 0.4 per cent for the world.Bangladesh's share in world exports has increased from 0.1 per cent in 2011 to 0.3 per cent in 2019.The top five export commodities (from labour intensive sectors such as textiles, apparels and footwear) account for more than 90 per cent of the total exports of Bangladesh since 2015, it said.In case of India, on the other hand, export performance is more broad-based as the top five export commodities jointly constitute around 40 per cent of total exports and these goods are…

(Hint: To find the equilibrium quantity after the tax, adjust the "Quantity" field until the Tax equals the value of the per-unit tax.) Using the data you generate, plot a Laffer curve by using the green points (triangle symbol) to plot total tax revenue at each of those tax levels. 0 Demand Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected.

Doyle and Samphantharak (2008) find that when a 5% gas tax is implemented, prices consumers pay for gas increase by about 4%. What role does demand elasticity play in determining the size of this price change? That is, under what demand elasticity cases would the price change be closer to 5%, or closer to 0%? Illustrate and explain using supply-and-demand graph(s)..
