Currently, the market price for a gallon of ice cream is $5. a. Draw a supply-and-demand diagram of the market for ice cream WITHOUT the tax. On your diagram, indicate the price paid by consumers, the price received by producers, and the quantity of ice cream sold. NOTE: YOU DO NOT NEED TO CALCULATE ANY SPECIFIC VALUES. SIMPLY INDICATE THESE ITEMS ON YOUR DIAGRAM (WHERE THEY WOULD BE IN RELATION TO EACH OTHER). b. What is the difference between the price paid by consumers and received by producers? Now, suppose the federal government requires buyers of ice cream to pay a $2 tax on each gallon of ice cream sold. C. Draw a supply-and-demand diagram of the market for ice cream with the tax. On your diagram, indicate the tax per gallon of ice cream, the price paid by consumers, the price received by producers, and the quantity of ice cream sold. NOTE: YOU DO NOT NEED TO CALCULATE ANY SPECIFIC VALUES. SIMPLY INDICATE THESE ITEMS ON YOUR DIAGRAM (WHERE THEY WOULD BE IN RELATION TO EACH OTHER). d. What is the difference between the price paid by consumers and received by producers? What is the highest and lowest possible values for the price paid by buyers? For the price received by sellers? Explain. e.

8. Suppose we want regular cars to be gradually replaced by electric cars. There are several kinds of government interventions that could be used to make this happen, or at least to push the car market to produce and sell more electric cars. Explain how a tax could be used for this purpose, and then explain how a subsidy could be used for this purpose.
