Price (dollars per gallon of ice cream) 20 18 16 14 12 10 8 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 Quantity (thousands of gallons of ice cream) The above figure shows the market for gourmet ice cream. In effort to reduce obesity, government places a $2 tax per gallon on suppliers in this market, shifting the supply curve from So to S1. The tax incidence is A) split equally between consumers and producers, each paying $1 per gallon. B) such that consumers pay $2 per gallon and producers pay $1 per gallon. C) split equally between consumers and producers, each paying $2 per gallon.
Daily demand for gasoline at a Gas Station is described by Q = 980 - 300p, where Q are gallons of gasoline sold and p is the price in dollars. Gas Station's supply is Q = -2,980 + 3,000p. Suppose the state government places a tax of 18 cents on every gallon of gasoline sold. (a) What are the before-tax and after-tax equilibrium quantities of gasoline Q? (b) What are the changes in consumer's and producer's surplus due to tax? (c) What is the deadweight loss resulting from this tax?
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. Determine: Consumer surplus after tax

Consider a country which taxes two goods, diamonds and bread. Each good has a supply elasticity of 1. The demand elasticity for diamonds is ηdd = −4; the demand elasticity for bread is ηbd = −0.25. In the market equilibrium, bread costs pb = $1 and a quantity of 100 is sold; diamonds cost $1000 and 10 are sold. Suppose a tax of τb = $0.50 is imposed on bread, and a tax of τd = $200 is imposed on diamonds. (a) What portion of the tax on bread is borne by consumers? What portion of the tax on diamonds is borne by consumers? (b) What is the deadweight loss from the tax on bread? What is the deadweight loss from the tax on diamonds? (c) Are these taxes optimal according to the Ramsey rule? If not, which tax should be increased and which should be decreased? (d) Are there any equity considerations which would argue against your answer for part (c)
