If you were told that the demand and the supply of a good are given by Qd = 25-0.25P and Qs = -10 + P, and that the government imposes a $25 per unit tax on buyers. This will result in reduction in the total economic surplus of and a tax incidence such that will be borne by sellers. Select one: A. $84.5.75$. B. $325, 80%. C. $33.8,20%. D. $62.5. 25%.

(a) Suppose in a competitive market, the market demand curve for salt is infinitelyinelastic. What is the impact of a per-unit tax (i.e. a specific tax) on the priceof salt that consumers pay? Suppose the demand curve for butter is Q = 50 − 3P and the supply curve isQ = 2P. Suppose the government announces a per-unit tax of 1 on the priceof butter. Tax on butter can be seen as a ’fat tax’. What is the overall effectof a fat tax on the consumers? Please do not use chat gpt and answer the best way it can be.

1.Given the following information Qd= 240 – 5p Qs= P Where Qd is the quantity demanded, Qs is the quantity supplied and P is the price. Suppose that the government decides to impose a tax of $12 per unit on sellers in this market. What is the buyer’s price after tax?
Richard and Henry like soda drinks. Henry's demand for soda is: P=10-Q; the demand for Richard is P=5.5-0.5Q. The supply of soda cans is perfectly elastic at P=1. The government imposes a tax on soda cans equal to t=$1 per can. a) Which consumer will suffer the greater loss of consumer surplus in response of the tax? why?b) Would the government prefer all consumers to be like Henry or like Richard if the government wants to maximise tax revenue? Why? Accompany your answer with a diagram to illustrate your argument.
