Paragraph
4. The three diagrams show the market for blue cod. The demand curve for cod is
the same in each scenario. Scenario A represents market day; all of the fishing is
done for the day, so price does not affect supply: supply is perfectly inelastic.
Scenario B represents the short term, in which fishing boat captains can change a
little what they do in response to a price change, but not much. Scenario C
represents the market a year from now, when captains can decide to move to a
different market, sell or buy boats, hire or fire crews, etc... so in Scenario C,
supply is much more responsive to a price change.

a. In each case, label the graphs and insert an appropriate supply curve, as
described in the above paragraph. Make each supply curve go through the
demand curve at the price indicated.
b. The govemment imposes a tax on blue cod. Assume the buyers pay the tax
directly, so show the effect of the tax by moving the demand curve down
in each scenario by the exact same amount.
c. Show on the graphs
The price paid by buyers (including the tax) [mark it PB]
The price received by sellers (excluding the tax) [mark it PS]
