PRICE (Dollars per scooter) First, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity of electric scooters in the absence of a tax. Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer surplus (CS) at the equilibrium price. Next, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing total producer surplus (PS) at the equilibrium price. 300 270 Demand 240 210 180 150 120 90 Supply 60 30 30 0 Before Tax 0 140 280 420 560 700 840 980 1120 1260 1400 QUANTITY (Scooters) Equilibrium A Consumer Surplus Producer Surplus Suppose the government imposes an excise tax on electric scooters. The black line on the following graph shows the tax wedge created by a tax of $120 per scooter. First, use the tan quadrilateral (dash symbols) to shade the area representing tax revenue. Next, use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer surplus after the tax. Then, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing total producer cumplus after the tax. Finally, use the black point (plus symbol) to shade the area representing deadweight loss.

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.
Rent control is common in some cities, particularly in the United States. You will have noticed some of the consequences in movies or TV shows, usually police stories, set in the high-rise areas of New York City, for example. Suppose you have been given the following information about the market for rental housing in Winona: Quantity Demanded Rent (dollars per month) $500 550 600 650 700 750 800 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 2,500 1,500 1,000 a) What is the equilibrium rent? b) What is the equilibrium quantity of rented housing? Quantity Supplied 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 Now suppose that a rent ceiling of $700 is imposed in the housing market for Winona. c) What is the quantity of housing demanded? d) What is the quantity of housing supplied? e) Is there excess demand for or excess supply of housing with the imposition of a rent ceiling? Explain what is happening in the market for rental housing market in Winona.
Q1. PLEASE ANSWER THE SUP PART E AND F Consider an example of the vehicle tires; if the supply and demand are: Qs = - 500 + 8p ; Qd = 500 –2 p Solve: A. Equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity and calculate total revenue? Equilibrium price Qd = Qs 500-2P = -500+8P P = 100 Equilibrium quantity = 500-2(100) = 500-200 = 300 Tot revenue = 100*300 = 30000 B. If there were a price celling equal to 120 SAR per each tire imposed, calculate the price elasticity of demand? Does this consider elastic, inelastic or unit elastic? Also, calculate the total revenue? Now, with price ceiling of 120SAR, Quantity demanded= 500-2(120) = 500-240 = 260 elasticity if demand = Percentage change in quantity/ percentage change in price = 40/300*100/20 = 0.67 Total revenue = 260*120 = 31,200 C. Now consider the vehicle battery; if the supply and demand is: i. Qs = - 100 + 3p ; Qd = 1100 – 9p, calculate the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity. Also,…

The above below represents the perfectly competitive market for pumpkins both before and after the imposition of a tax on suppliers, which is represented by the shift of the supply curve from Supply 1 to Supply 2. Price ($) 8.50 7.25 5.50 B 700 a. $7.25 b. $8.50 A 1,200 Supply 2 Supply 1 Demand Quantity of pumpkins Based on the figure above, what will be the sticker price after the tax is imposed? Note: Since the tax is paid by suppliers, it has to be included in the sticker price paid by the consumer. C. $5.50 d. None of the other options are correct
The government decides that the sugar price support program is getting too expensive. It abandons the support price program and instead assigns a marketing quota to each sugar producer. This quota gives the holder the right to sell sugar on the market and can be transferred to other producers. Altogether the quotas allocate to sugar growers add up to 9 million cwt. Please grab this problem, indicating clearly the market price and quantity. Not sure if this is necessary for the question but given is demand for sugar: Q= 20 - P Supply for sugar: Q = 2 + P quantities are in million hundredweight (cwt) and price is dollars per cwt. picture is of previous question that goes along to help answer with this one. I am needing help with number 3 that is pictured

In a perfectly competitive market for cheese with downward sloping demand and upward sloping supply, the equilibrium price is $12 per kilo. If the government imposes a price ceiling of $10, we can conclude that the government policy will: Select one: a. reduce the number of units sold only if demand is elastic b. decrease producer surplus and decrease total surplus c. reduce the number of units sold only if demand is inelastic d. decrease producer surplus but increase total surplus e. increase producer surplus but decrease total surplus
