tax t
the consumer tax burden is 1/3 of
the tax t
the consumer tax burden is 1/2 of the
tax t
the consumer tax burden is zero
O the consumer tax burden is 3/4 of
the tax t

The estimated demand function for avocados is Q = 160 – 40p, where p is price of avocados. The estimated supply function for avocados is Q = 50 + 15p. Using algebra, determine how price and quantity change when a €0.55 per lb specific tax is imposed on this market.

Suppose an economist estimates the price elasticity of demand for sugary drinks is -4.2, while its price elasticity of supply is 1.2.

Suppose the demand for a product is given by P = 100 – 2Q. Also, the supply is given by P = 20 + 6Q. If an $8 per-unit excise tax is levied on the buyers of a good, what proportion of the tax will be paid by the buyers?. Group of answer choices 75% 40% 60% None of these 25%
The demand (D) and supply (S) function for a commodity are P=100 - 20 and P = 10 + Q, respectively. (a) Find the equilibrium price and quantity. That is, find the price and quantity where the D and S functions intersect. (b) A new 10% tax is imposed on this commodity. Find the burden of the tax on demanders and the burden on suppliers. Also find the total taxes. [In order to insure that we all do this problem in the same way, let's assume that the tax is imposed on the supply side of the market. In addition, the burden of the tax on demanders is the difference in price demanders pay when the tax is in existence less the price they paid when there was no tax. The burden on suppliers is the difference in price suppliers received when there was no tax and the net price (after remitting tax to the government) they receive when the tax is in existence.]
