The Laffer curveGovernment-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 gin, which is shown on the following graph.Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions.

USE TABLE #1: The calculation you used to find the producer surplus for the efficient market for electric automobiles is 1/2 x ($ ____________ - $__________ ) x ( _____ - ________ ). (Remember to use a comma, if a comma is needed and to include the decimal point and two numbers to the right of the decimal point).
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.
In the market for candy, researchers have estimated the following demand and supply curves. Demand: P= 8 - Q/100 Supply: P= (3Q)/700 If the government imposes an excise tax of $0.50 per unit. What is tax revenue out of this tax? (Remember that the tax does not change the demand and supply curves).
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)..

You are an economist in the Internal Revenue System and just heard of a plan to increase the sales tax on a certain widget by $.06. Last year customers purchased about 10 million widgets. The demand curve in the last year was such that a $.01 increasein price decreases sales by 100,000. A study showed that a $.01 increase in price resulted in producers willing to provide 50,000 more widgets to the market. Congress stated that this$.06 tax will increase government revenues by $600,000 and raise the price of each widget by $.06. Is this correct? If so, explain why this is the case and, if not, what is the increase in prices and revenues?
Suppose a local government votes to impose an excise tax of $0.90 per bottle on the sales of bottled water. (Assume that all bottles are identical and residents cannot shop elsewhere.) Before the tax the equilibrium price and quantity are $1.20 and 2100 bottles per day. After the tax is imposed, market equilibrium adjusts to a price of $2.00 and quantity of 1400 bottles per day. How much revenue from the tax does the local government collect each day?

Suppose the government imposes an excise tax on mountain bikes. The black line on the following graph shows the tax wedge created by a tax of $40 per bike. First, use the tan quadrilateral (dash symbols) to shade the area representing tax revenue. Next, use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer surplus after the tax. Then, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing total producer surplus after the tax, Finally, use the black point (plus symbol) to shade the area representing deadweight loss.

analysis of the video poker market in Rye shows demand by the patrons is Qd=200-2P and the supply is Qs=2P now suppose that the city of Rye passes a law that requires all video poker arcades to contribute m cents to a city charitable fund for each game played on there machines, this is essentially a excise tax. In a diagram show the effect of the new law on the market ( Do not try to give a algebraic solution, just show what happens graphically and describe. Please illustrate how the tax of m shifts the specific curves. In the approach of modeling taxes and subsidies. The direction of the shift carries a specific meaning in economics. graphically indicate the incidence of taxation on consumers as well as arcade owners. Explain what incidence of taxation is and what the graph tells you the jncidence of this case.
