Create two demand and supply diagrams in powerpoint to demonstrate the following: In your first diagram show the negative externality of consuming too much fast food. Carefully label your diagram and identify the deadweight loss. In your second diagram add a tax to this market. Highlight what happens to consumption. In a dot point below your last diagram briefly tell us whether the second diagram has a deadweight loss.

New York has historically imposed several kinds of price control. For instance, rent control began as a wartime emergency measure to protect renters amid a housing shortage but has long endured. Draw and label a demand curve and a supply curve in the market for rental units in New York City. Use the graph to explain why a price ceiling would result in a shortage of rental units. Refer to the graph you drew to answer the previous question. Describe the area in the graph that represents the deadweight loss caused by the ceiling on the price of rental units.
An externality arises when a firm or person engages in an activity that affects the wellbeing of a third party, yet neither pays nor receives any compensation for that effect. If the impact on the third party is beneficial, it is called a externality. The following graph shows the demand and supply curves for a good with this type of externality. The dashed drop lines on the graph reflect the market equilibrium price and quantity for this good. Adjust one or both of the curves to reflect the presence of the externality. If the social cost of producing the good is not equal to the private cost, then you should drag the supply curve to reflect the social costs of producing the good; similarly, if the social value of producing the good is not equal to the private value, then you should drag the demand curve to reflect the social value of consuming the good.

9. Relationship between tax revenues, deadweight loss, and demandelasticity The government is considering levying a tax of $60 per unit on suppliers of either smart watches or yoga mats. The supply curve for each of these two goods is identical, as you can see on each of the following graphs. The demand for smart watches is shown by Dw (on the first graph), and the demand for yoga mats is shown by Dy (on the second graph). Suppose the government taxes smart watches. The following graph shows the annual supply and demand for this good. It also shows the supply curve (S + Tax) shifted up by the amount of the proposed tax ($60 per watch). On the following graph, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area that represents tax revenue for smart watches. Then use the black triangle (plus symbols) to shade the area that represents the deadweight loss associated with the tax. PRICE (Dollars per watch) 120 110 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 Smart Watches Market S+Tax Supply…
All jurisdictions in the United States have laws against drunk driving, with penalties ranging from lost driving privileges to jail time. But in many jurisdictions, establishments can also be held liable for selling alcohol to visibly intoxicated patrons who then cause accidents. In those locales, having drunk drivers on the road is a negative externality that both consumers and producers must internalize.The effect on the supply and demand curves for alcoholic beverages is to shift both curves to the left: as drinkers moderate their intake, demand drops from DInternal to DSocial, and as bars and liquor stores refuse service to drunk patrons, supply drops from SInternal to SSocial. Which point on the graph represents the social optimum in this situation? Mark your answer using the point tool.
The article described shortcomings of using CAFE standards to improve fuel economy and emissions of carbon from automobiles: “Taxing carbon emissions or gasoline directly, as Europe does, would be far more cost-efficient.” The federal gasoline tax is 18.4 cents per gallon. The impact of an increase in the gasoline tax depends on the reaction of consumers to the tax. A research study found that the price elasticity of demand for gasoline is -0.06. Holding everything else constant, assume that an increase in the federal tax on gasoline results in a 5 percent increase in the price of a gallon of gasoline. If the price elasticity of demand for gasoline is -0.06, how much will the quantity demanded for gasoline change? Explain how you derived your answer.
Consumer and Producer Surplus Work It Out: Question 2 of 3 The accompanying diagram shows the demand and supply curves for taxi rides in New York City. Uber's entry into the market reduces the quantity of rides demanded from taxis at every price. On the accompanying graph, shift the demand curve to accurately represent the change in demand. Then, move point E₁ to the new equilibrium point. The unlabeled point is to help you answer the next question and is not movable. Assume that New York City politicians respond by imposing a regulated price of $2.50 per mile. Calculate consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus for the taxi market after Uber has entered the market. Consumer surplus: $ Producer surplus: $ Total surplus: $ million million million Price ($ per mile) 5.0 4.5 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0.0 0 1.83 1.30 Market for Taxi Rides in NYC 120 240.00 400.00 D 240 360 480 600 720 840 960 1,080 1,200 Quantity of taxi rides (millions of miles)

The graph below shows the daily demand for entry into the downtown core of a major city by commuter vehicles and shoppers’ vehicles if they were required to pay a special traffic fee in order to enter.a. Draw the total demand curve. Plot only three points of the curve. 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: c. Suppose that government, in an effort to reduce the number of vehicles by 50 percent, decides to impose a traffic fee (the same fee 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…
Image the social demand function for a commodity takes the following form: Q = 400 – 10p • Please graph the social demand curve (i.e., WTP curve) for this commodity. Label accordingly. What is the WTP for the 10 unit of output? For the 50 unit? How much overall benefit does society get for consuming 50 units? • How does consumer surplus change if prices fall from $16 to $14? Please show all of your work, including the formulas discussed in class.
Over the past few year's consumer tastes and the number of buyers in the market for a game called 'pickle ball' have increased dramatically. Thus, the demand for tickets to pickle ball events has increased. Before this all started the equilibrium price of a ticket to a pickle ball event was negative. This means that: A few years ago, there would have been a surplus of tickets even at a price of zero, now the invisible hand has pushed prices to greater than zero. A) A few years ago, the quantity of tickets demanded was less than quantity supplied. B) Pickle ball event tickets resembled the market for recyclable cardboard a few years ago C) Greater demand for pickle ball tournament tickets will lead to a greater demand - and higher pay - for professional pickle ball players. D) All of the above. E) B and D only
