b. Assuming that there is no charge for entry, what is the total number of vehicles entering downtown? (Give your answers in tens of thousands of vehicles) Quantity of vehicles D C. Suppose that government, in an effort to reduce the number of vehicles by 50 percent, decides to impose a traffic fee (the same fe for both commuters and shoppers) for entry into the downtown area. What will be the amount of the fee, and how many of each group will enter downtown? Fee: $ Number of commuter vehicles: Number of shoppers'vehicles: d. Assume that government, alternatively, decides to have a two-fee system but still wishes to reduce the traffic by 50 percent of the no-fee entry level. If it decides to charge shoppers $2. how much will it have to charge commuters? Fee to commuters: $

ols 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 champagne, 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.

Read the following excerpt: 'In the UK, fuel duty is levied per unit of fuel purchased and is included in the price paid for petrol, diesel and other fuels used in vehicles or for heating. The rate depends on the type of fuel: the headline rate on standard petrol and diesel has been reduced from 57.95 pence to 52.95 pence per litre.' Suppose that, in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the UK government is considering raising fuel duty on standard petrol and diesel. Suppose that the government intends to earmark the additional fuel tax revenue, not for subsidising less carbon-intensive energy production (e.g., wind energy) but for supporting higher education (e.g., reduction in university fees). Are there additional theoretical implications in terms of efficiency in resource allocation, due to the intended use of the revenue? Explain.

QUESTION 46 46. Given that the U.S. government mandates the use of ethanol as a partial substitute for gasoline (10% by volume), and that ethanol manufactured in the U.S. is made from corn, what will happen if the government eliminates the price support for corn? a) Demand for ethanol will increase. b) Demand for ethanol will decrease. c) Supply of ethanol will increase. d) Supply of ethanol will decrease. e) Both (a) and (c)
2. Hope, Arkansas (home of both ex-President Bill Clinton and former Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee), has a subway system, for which a one-way fare is $1.50. There is pressure on Governor Huckabee to reduce the fare by one-third, to $1.00. The Governor is dismayed, thinking that this will mean Hope is losing one-third of its revenue from sales of subway tickets. The Governor's economic advisor reminds him that he is focusing only on the price effect and ignoring the quantity effect. Explain why the Governor's estimate of a one-third loss of revenue is likely to be an overestimate using elasticity of demand.

Please answer the following, a diagram and one paragraph should help support your answer. With consideration for elasticity (especially PED), what would be one industry in which the government instituting a subsidy would make sense and why? EXAMPLE: It would make sense for the government to subsidize the fashion industry because it is generally elastic in terms of PED, and it would benefit both producers and consumers due to etc.
