In order to reduce farm output, raise farm prices, and thus raise farm incomes (revenues), the government pays farmers to set aside a portion of their land from production. Using a graph, explain in terms of the elasticity of demand for farm products why farmers may be better-off when harvests are low even if we ignore the money they receive from the set-aside program.
Economists in Champaign have been studying the local market for pizza. The market is described in the graph below: What is the price elasticity of demand(in absolute value) when the price changes from $7 to $5?(Round your answer to include 2 decimal places.)
Price of Gasoline P3 P₂ P₁ 0 9₂ 9₂ 52 D S₁ Price Ceiling Quantity of Gasoline Refer to the figure above. With a price ceiling present in this market, what will happen when the supply curve for gasoline shifts from S₁ to S₂? The market price will stay at P₁ due to the price ceiling. A shortage will occur at the price ceiling of P2. The price will increase to P3. A surplus will occur at the new market price of P₂.

In 2020 the UK government introduced a sales tax on all products bought online from overseas. Please note this is not a tariff – it is a tax. The tax will be 2% of the value of the products sold in the UK. This tax is collected from online sellers such as Amazon or ebay. Source: BBC (2019). See link: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-50656106 Consider the market for online products. The initial market equilibrium is at 10 million products sold per year at an average price of $500 each. Then, the UK government imposes a tax on the market, collected from sellers (for example Amazon and ebay). The tax is 2% per item (each item has an average price of $500). Show the effect of this on the market for online products. Show the effect on consumers of online products, on the online sellers and on the government. Does the UK economy gain or lose as a result of the tax? Explain why. Use a diagram to support your answer.
