Market demand and supply for cases of beer are given by Q = 875 – 5P and Q, = 20P. The equilibrium price is P= $35 per case and the equilibrium quantity is Q = 700 cases. Suppose the government decides it wants to use the beer market to raise some tax revenue. It levies a tax of $8 per case on beer consumers. Complete parts a through e below. ..... a) What is the equation of the demand curve with the tax included? Let P; be the amount producers will receive. Qq =+ OP: (Simplify your answers.) b) What is the new, after-tax equilibrium? The after-tax equilibrium price is $ and the quantity is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) c) What price do consumers now pay? $ (Round to the nearest cent as needed.) d) Who has the larger burden of the tax? Consumers pay $ more than before the tax. Firms receive $ less than before the tax. Therefore, bear the larger burden. (Round to the nearest cent as needed.) e) What is the deadweight loss due to the tax? $ (Round to the nearest cent as…

Consider the market for pork illustrated in the graph. Suppose initial demand (D¹) is Q=280-20p and supply (S¹) is Q=85 +40p and that a $2.75 tax is charged to consumers, shifting the demand curve to D². Using the original and after-tax pork demand functions and the supply function, derive the initial equilibrium price and quantity and the after-tax equilibrium price and quantity. (Enter all responses using real numbers rounded to two decimal places) The equilibrium price is initially $ per kg. (...) p, $ per kg P₁ P2 0₂. e₁ D² D¹ Q₂ Q₁ Q, Million kg of pork per year
Demand Function - Qd = 64 - p and Supply Function- Qs= 4p. (A) Suppose the federal govt. taxes $1.50 on sellers. How is the tax burden distributed on buyers and sellers? Calculate Deadweight loss as well. B) If a general tax rate of $t per unit is to be paid by sellers then find value of t that maximizes govt. tax revenue. C) If govt choses t to maximise the sum of consumers surplus, producers surplus and tax revenue, calculate optimum choice. D) If a producers' lobby can influence the government to set a price floor Px which maximises producers surplus rather than social surplus. What price floor will the lobby recommend? Calculate the DWL, assuming sellers only produce an amount equal to qty. demanded at controlled price.

Suppose that the government has a goal to reduce the demand for cigarettes in support of a health program. Given this, the government decided to impose a per-unit tax of 40 centavos per pack that is levied on the sellers or placed on the sale of cigarettes by the government. This causes a shift of the market supply of cigarettes from S to S' as shown. Price ($ per pack) 1.50 1.40 1.30 1.15 D₁ D₂ Quantity (Millions of pack) 3 4 5 Answer the following questions regarding this case. se.l 1. Is demand and supply for cigarettes elastic, unitary elastic or inelastic? (2 points) Explain your answer. (3 points) 2. Determine burden of the tax that falls on consumers and on producers. (4 points) Who bears most of the burden of the tax? (2 points) 1.25
The inverse demand function is p = 10q, where q is the number of units sold. The inverse supply function is defined by p = 2 + q. A tax of $2 is imposed on suppliers for each unit that they sell. After the tax is imposed, the equilibrium quantity with taxes is. 0 1 07 O 3 04 09

At the beginning of the year 2021, three friends, Ebo, Michael and Joseph decided to set up a company that produces a special kind of fruit juice called BB fruit juice in a city called St. Botch. As fresh graduate from the University of Professional Studies, Accra, you were employed as the firm's general manager in charge of the day to day running of the company. In order to make informed decisions about the firm's product, you employed an economist, who estimated the demand curve of the firm's product by using information from 30 supermarket as follows: Q$ = 99.5 – 2.5P, + 1.25P, – 0.21 + 0.15N + 0.04A Where Qg is the quantity demanded of BB fruit juice in bottles, P, is the per pottle price of BB fruit juice, P, is the per pottle price of Blue Sky, I is the per capita income of the people of St. Botch, N is the number of consumers and A is amount of money the company spends on advertising. In addition, the economist also estimated the supply function for the product as: Qi = -78 +…
): Let the demand and supply of video game consoles be given by: Qd = 250 0.5P and QS = -50+P If the government contemplates instating a national program called FamBond, and you as the economic adviser to the government, are mandated to evaluate the social impact of two alternatives to the program: i. Imposing an excise tax on video consoles of OMR150 per unit, or ii. Enforcing a price floor of OMR300 in the market for video game consoles. a. Which policy alternative would you recommend the government should adopt? (Hint: build your answer on the alternatives' net impact on the social surplus). b. What is the marginal cost of public funds for policy alternative i above?
The demand and supply functions for three goods are given as follows: Dx=100-3Px+Py+3Pz Dy=80 +Px-2Py-2Pz Dz=120+3Px-Py-4Pz Sx=-10+Px Sy=-20=3Py Sz=-3+2Pz Q1: Determine the equilibrium prices and quantities of all three goods. · The government decides to: a. Impose a 25% tax on X b. Impose a 5Rs unit Tax on Y c. Gives a 10% subsidy on good Z · Analyze the impact of each of these three policies separately on equilibrium prices and Quantities. · Also calculate changes in consumer and producer surpluses and the amount of revenue earned by the government. Q2: Repeat this exercise when polices (a, b),(b,c) & (a, b,c) are jointly implemented. Which policy choice is best? Why? Q:3 Provide theoretical justification (using diagrams) of all results obtained.
