Question 22 If the goal is to have the smallest deadweight loss, then a $1 tax should be imposed upon: a a market with highly elastic demand and highly elastic supply. b a market with highly inelastic demand and highly inelastic supply. c a market with highly elastic demand and unit elastic supply. d a market with unit elastic demand and unit elastic supply.
The equilibrium price in a market is $60. A tax is placed on this market that results in buyers paying $65 and sellers only getting to keep $40 of that. Which of the following is definitely true based on this information? Buyers and sellers have the same elasticity. The statutory burden of the tax is on the sellers The size of the tax is $15. Sellers have a more elastic response to this tax. The size of the tax is $20. Buyers have a more elastic response to this tax. If 25 units of this good were sold before the tax was imposed and 20 units were sold after the tax was imposed, how much tax revenue does the government collect? Tax revenue: $ If the purpose of this tax was to correct an externality, what kind of externality might it have been, and what was the per unit size of the externality? positive consumption externality; $15 negative production externality; $20 positive consumption externality; $25 negative consumption externality; $25
In the market for candy, researchers have estimated the following demand and supply curves. Demand: P= 8 - Q/100 Supply: P= (3Q)/700 If the government imposes an excise tax of $0.50 per unit. What is tax revenue out of this tax? (Remember that the tax does not change the demand and supply curves).
Suppose an economist estimates the price elasticity of demand for sugary drinks is -4.2, while its price elasticity of supply is 1.2. If the government decides to impose a per-unit tax of $9 per can of sugary drinks sold, how would the market price of sugary drinks be affected? Show your calculation
Consider the market for BP gasoline. If the market has a very elastic supply and a very inelastic demand, how would the burden of a tax on BP gasoline be shared between producers and consumers? Draw a graph to support your answer.
Doyle and Samphantharak (2008) find that when a 5% gas tax is implemented, prices consumers pay for gas increase by about 4%. What role does demand elasticity play in determining the size of this price change? That is, under what demand elasticity cases would the price change be closer to 5%, or closer to 0%? Illustrate and explain using supply-and-demand graph(s)..
7. Effect of a tax on buyers and sellers The following graph shows the weekly market for craft beer in some hypothetical economy. Suppose the government levies a tax of $11.60 per case. The tax places a wedge between the price buyers pay and the price sellers receive. PRICE (Dollars per case) 50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 0 Tax Wedge Demand 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 QUANTITY (Cases of craft beer) Supply 400 450 500 ?
Please answer the following, a diagram and one paragraph should help support your answer. With consideration for elasticity (especially PED), what would be one industry in which the government instituting a subsidy would make sense and why? EXAMPLE: It would make sense for the government to subsidize the fashion industry because it is generally elastic in terms of PED, and it would benefit both producers and consumers due to etc.
The elasticity of demand for chocolate chip cookies is 0.6 and the elasticity of supply for these cookies is 1.9. If a tax is imposed on purchases of chocolate chip cookies, then the consumers would pay more of the tax. consumers would pay the entire tax because their demand is less elastic than the producers' supply. tax would be equally shared by the consumers and the producers. producers would pay more of the tax.
Suppose the government applies a specific tax to a good where the demand elasticity, E, is -1.4, and the supply elasticity, n, is 1.2. This good would not be an ideal good for the government to tax since demand is: A. inelastic and would raise much revenue B. elastic and would raise much revenue C. inelastic and would not raise much revenue D. elastic and would not raise much revenue what is the tax incidence on consumers? $?

Correctly illustrate the market (supply and demand curve). Make sure to correctly shade the area of the tax. a) Washington state has a salmon market which sells salmon at a price of P. At that price, Q lbs. of salmon will be consumed in one week. Elasticity of supply: relatively elastic Elasticity of demand: relatively inelastic In addition, suppose Washington state were to levy an excise tax collected by producers.
