Consider a perfectly competitive market with our usual downward sloping demand and upward sloping supply curves. The market has a $2 per-unit tax that consumers pay. This tax is decreased to a $1 per-unit tax. Which of the statement is TRUE about the market equilibrium with the lower $1 tax. O Consumer surplus decreases because market price rises. O Tax revenues increase. O Tax revenues decrease.

O b.supply for this good will tend to be more elastic. O c. price for the good will be constant. O d. the elasticity of supply of the product will equal the elasticity of supply of the inputs.
The Market: SUVS (sports utility vehicles) The Market price: $50,000. The Scenario: A tax of $2,000 is placed on the producers of each new SUV produced because they block visibility for others on the freeway. Assume a standard upward-sloping supply and downward-sloping demand in this market. What price do you expect after this tax of $2.000 is placed on SUV producers in this market? O Between $50,000 and $52.000. O Less than $50,000. $52,000 exactly. $50,000 exactly. O More than $52,000.

Using Supply and Demand to Analyze Markets-End of Chapter Problem Increases in demand generally result in increases in consumer surplus. However, this is not always the case. Of the following scenarios, which one is most likely to result in a decrease in consumer surplus? Supply is relatively elastic, and demand becomes highly inelastic when it increases. Supply and demand are both unit elastic and demand increases. Supply is inelastic, and demand becomes highly elastic when it increases. O Supply is relatively elastic, and demand becomes highly elastic when it increases.
A market's deadweight loss is calculated as: O the economic loss that a firm has when it is not producing its profit-maximizing output. O the price at equilibrium minus the price at actual quantity. the total economic surplus at the efficient quantity minus the total economic surplus at the actual quantity. the loss to consumers when a product malfunctions or fails to meet expectations.
