Q1. A market is characterized by the demand function is given by Qu= 1,080 – 3P and the supply function Q.= 6P – 360 respectively. (c) The government now establishes a $60 subsidy for buyers every time they purchase a unit of the good. How much tax-payer money will the government spend to support this policy? What is the size of the deadweight loss generated by the subsidy? (d) Firms can now export at an international price of $240 per unit. How many units are exported? How much are the gains from trade?

The demand and supply for corn is given by D=1000-P and S=3P repsectively. 14) To stabilize corn prices, the government introduced a price floor of $260 and a price ceiling of $380. What will the equilibrium production and consumption levels be? By how much will the consumer surplus change? By how much will the producer surplus change? 15) If the government wants to have the consumption of corn to be 700 units, can it achieve its goal by imposing a per-unit tax on producers or by providing a per-unit subsidy for producers? If yes, find the amount of such tax or subsidy. If not, show an alternative tax or subsidy strategy that can achieve the desired consumption level.

If the government establishes a sugar quota of Q to Q. the supply curve combining U.S. production and imports becomes and remains horizontal until the quantity supplied reaches at the world price of
Question 1 - Chapter 9: Section 9.6 The market demand and supply functions for imported beer are: Qd = 48,000 - 406.25P and Qs = 1,781.25P -22,000. To encourage the consumption of domestic beer, Parliament has imposed a quota of 25,000 units of imported beer. Calculate the change in producer surplus from this legislation. (7)
Question 4: Show mathematically the effects on the equilibrium price and quantity of corn from a per unit of tax of t=$2 collected from suppliers, where Qd= 20-2p and Qs= 3p-20. Determine the after tax equilibrium price and quantity. Also, draw a graph to show the new price and quantity (showing also how the tax shifts the supply curve). How much will be the burden of tax on consumer and suppliers? What is the tax revenue? What is the DWL of the tax?
QUESTION 19 The original equilibrium of a market is at price $20 and quantity 20. If a tax of $10 is imposed and producers receive a net price of $18, how much (in dollars) is the tax burden on producers? 2
Suppose that last year the equilibrium price and the quantity of good X were $10 and 5 million pounds. Because of strong demand this year, the equilibrium price and the quantity of good X are $12 and 7 million pounds, respectively. Assuming that the supply curve of good X is linear, what happened to producer surplus in the market? A B Producer surplus increased from $12.5 million to $49 million. Producer surplus increased from $12.5 million to $24.5 million. Producer surplus increased from $3 million to $7 million. Producer surplus increased from $4.2 million to $5.6 million. C D
In a competitive market in which P = 100 − 2Q is the inverse demand for fuel and P = 10 + Q is the inverse supply of fuel. Calculations are preferred, but you may use a graph for partial Without a tax, what is the market-clearing price and output, P and Q? What is the consumer surplus and producer surplus (with no tax) If a tax on fuel is set at $15, how much fuel will be purchased? You can assume that the buyers pay the tax (but it doesn’t matter). What is the deadweight loss of the tax? Thanks!
Suppose Home is a small exporter of wheat. At the world price of 100 US dollars per tonne, Home growers export 20 tons of wheat. Now suppose the Home government decides to support its domestic producers with a specific export subsidy of 40 US dollars per tonne. Use Figure 1 to answer the following questions: (a) Explain why consumer and producer surplus can be used to gauge the change in welfare caused by the export subsidy on individuals and firms? (b) What is the quantity exported by Home under free trade and with the export subsidy? (c) Calculate the effect of the export subsidy on consumer surplus, producer surplus, and government revenue; depict each of these in a graph. What is the overall net effect of the export subsidy on Home welfare?

The market demand for bicycle helmets is given by D(P) = 90−4P and the market supply ischaracterized by S(P) =P−10. In both expressions, P is the price per unit. The government introduces a per unit subsidy of S per helmet, that is paid out to the producer for each sale of helmets. (a) What is the equilibrium price and quantity before the government intervenes in the market? (b) What is the equilibrium price and quantity after the government intervenes in the marketimposing a per subsidy S >0? Hint: You have to find the equilibrium for all relevant levels of S. (c) Calculate changes in consumer surplus, producer surplus and welfare, as a function of subsidy S, due to the introduction of the subsidy. What welfare conclusion(s) do you draw? Illustrate graphically.
