The demand and supply equations for a product are: Q= 300 — 6P and Q.= -40 + 6P. Determine the market equilibrium and draw graphs. Suppose that the government decides to impose a flat tax of 10% on each unit sold. Show that the price that consumers pay would be the same if the government imposed a tax of Rs. 1.70 per unit sold. Draw graphs and Also calculate the total revenue earned by sellers before and after the tax, the tax revenue raised by the government, changes in consumer and producer surplus, and deadweight loss.
The government of a State has been experiencing an increase in number of obesity cases. Research suggests an increase in consumption of a particular fast food item is responsible for high number of obesity cases. As a result, the government of that State is considering an imposition of $1 tax. Monthly demand and supply for this good are QD=21-1P and QS= -1+1P respectively. Draw the demand and Supply curve for fast food before the tax is imposed. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity, consumer and producer surplus, and label them on the graph. Calculate the price elasticity of demand and supply for fast food. If the State government imposes a tax, who will bear the most of the burden of the tax? Suppose that the State government finally imposes a $1 tax on fast food. What will the new equilibrium price and quantity? Include the tax on your graph. Calculate the consumer and producer surplus and label them on the graph. Is there any deadweight loss resulting from the tax on that…

In the market for widgets, the supply curve is the typical upward-sloping straight line, and the demand curve is the typical downward-sloping straight line. The equilibrium quantity in the market for widgets is 200 per month when there is no tax. Then a tax of $5 per widget is imposed. As a result, the government is able to raise $750 per month in tax revenue. We can conclude that the equilibrium quantity of widgets has fallen by 25 per month. 50 per month.

Suppose the demand and supply of firearms in Jail are given as follows: Demand: P = 630 − 349Q Supply: P = 480 + 2Q in which Q is the quantity of firearms in million units and P is the price per each firearm in Jalian dollars. a. The equilibrium price is [ANS1] Jalian dollars and the equilibrium quantity is [ANS2] million units. b. Suppose the government purchases 10 million units of firearms back from the market. After the government enters the market, on the new demand curve, when the price is 555 Jalian dollars, the total quantity demanded is [ANS3] million units of firearms. c. Suppose the government wants to use such buyback program to reduce the quantity of firearms in the community to zero.
