4. Assume that the demand function for a commodity is given by 2. and that the supply function is given by 2, =1+0.05P where P is the price, Q, is the quantity demanded and Q, is the quantity supplied. Suppose the government levies a tax of t Ghana Cedis per unit sold so that the producer receives (p-t) Ghana Cedis if the consumer pays p Ghana Cedis per unit. If the market is in equilibrium and the tax is increased, how will the price, quantity and tax revenue change once equilibrium has been attained?
1. Consider a market where the supply is given by QS = P and the demand is given by QD=20-P. (a) Suppose the government wants to raise 18¥ by imposing per unit tax on this market. What tax rate will raise the required revenue and also mini- mize the dead weight loss? (b) What is the resulting equilibrium and the dead weight loss? What is the incidence of taxation? (c) Can you think of a method for raising 18Y from this market that will (1) incur no dead weight loss and (2) be preferable to the per unit tax for both the producers and the consumers.

Find the (own-price) elasticity of supply at the price of 5 TL/unit. b. If the government imposed a price ceiling of 3 TL/unit, what would the equilib- rium price and the equilibrium quantity be? What would the consumers' surplus, producers' surplus, and dead-weight loss be under this policy? c. If the government imposed a tax at the rate of 3 TL/unit on the consumer what would the equilibrium price that the consumers face be? What would the equilib- rium price that the producers face be? What is the quantity traded at equilibrium? What is the consumers' surplus, producers' surplus and the dead-weight loss under this policy? d. Is there a government policy that, under this policy the quantity traded, at equilib- rium, would be 7 units/day? If there is such a policy, be specific about the policy stating all the…
