Consider the supply and demand graph above showing a shift in demand from D1 to D2. Which of the following statements are true? (Select all that apply.) O a. The shift from D1 to D2 represents a tax. O b. The shift from D1 to D2 represents a subsidy. OC A supply-side tax would have had the same effect on the market. O d. Supply is inelastic. O e. Producers will see a larger change in price than consumers. O f. Supply is more elastic than demand. O g. Demand is elastic. Oh The amount of the tax/subsidy is $3 Consumers will see a larger change in price than producers. O, There is not enough information to determine the elasticity of demand.

Suppose an economic boom causes incomes to increase and, at the same time, drives up wages for the sales representatives who work for cell phone companies. Assume that smartphones are a normal good. This will cause the: O price of cell phones and the equilibrium quantity to rise. O price of cell phones to rise, but the change in the equilibrium quantity is unclear and depends on whether the shift in demand is larger or smaller than the shift in supply. O price of cell phones and the equilibrium quantity to fall. O quantity of cell phones to rise, but the change in the equilibrium price is unclear and depends on whether the shift in demand is larger or smaller than the shift in supply.

7. Taxation - An algebraic approach Suppose the supply of a good is given by the equation Q1,200P-1,200, and the demand for the good is given by the equation QD 2,400-400P, where quantity (Q) is measured in millions of units and price (P) is measured in dollars per unit. The government decides to levy an excise tax of $1.00 per unit on the good, to be paid by the seller. Calculate the value of each of the following, before the tax and after the tax, to complete the table that follows: 1. The equilibrium quantity produced 2. The equilibrium price consumers pay for the good 3. The price received by sellers Equilibrium Quantity (Millions of units) Equilibrium Price per Unit Paid by Consumers Price per Unit Received by Sellers Before Tax The government receives After Taxi Given the information you calculated in the preceding table, the tax incidence on consumers is on producers is per unit of the good: per unit of the good, and the tax incidence in tax revenue from levying an excise tax of…
The government is worried about high rates of cigarette smoking and so it's considering implementing a cigarettes tax.

It doesn't matter how the tax is implemented. O b. There are positive externalities associated with smoking. O c. Smoking will decrease only slightly in the short-run. O d. Regardless of how the tax is implemented, consumers will pay the full amount of the tax. O e. The government will collect more revenue if the tax is on the suppliers. O f. Consumers and suppliers will split the burden of the tax. O g. Smoking will decrease more if the tax is the on the suppliers. O h. A tax on cigarettes is one way to make smokers internalize the cost of the externalities associated with smoking. O i. Smoking will decrease more in the long-run than in the short-run. O j. Smoking will…
