(a) Show the market for housing in equilibrium on a diagram, where demand is less elastic than supply, andlabel the respective consumer and producer surpluses. Discuss whether this market is Pareto efficient. (b) Assume that the State Government imposes a per-unit tax on the sellers of houses. A new diagram,shows the imposition of this tax on the market for housing. Does the imposition of this tax cause a Paretoimprovement to the market, explain? (c) Is the tax imposed in part (b) effective for the collection of Government revenue? Justify your answer withreference to your diagram in part (b).

a. Assume that the elasticity of demand for Fanta is -0.5 while the elasticity of supply is 0.7. Assuming further that a tax of K10 is applied on each bottle of Fanta sold, how much of this will be borne by producers. b. Assume that the price of good X is K10 while that of good Y is K20. A consumer has allocated consumption between the two goods in such a way that the marginal utility of X is 15 utils and that of Y is 25 utils. Is this an optimal consumption bundle? If not, what should the consumer do to reach the optimum?
i neeed help with this one i keep getting it wrong. it is a macroeconmics question
Many governments subsidise electric vehicles. Draw two sup- ply and demand diagrams (one for electric vehicles and one for petrol- powered vehicles) to show the impact of an electric vehicle subsidy. As- sume that an increase in electric vehicles sales reduces petrol powered vehicles by the same amount. On these diagrams show: (a) The quantity of both types of vehicles before the subsidy. (b) The quantity of both types of vehicles after the subsidy. (c) The deadweight losses in both markets before and after the subsidy. 4. is a fuel excise or an electric vehicle subsidy a better policy response to address externalities associated with driving? Your answer should draw on the answers above and could also include: Which policy is simpler to administer. How the two policies impact use of other forms of transport (like public transport or riding a bike). Which policy is fairer.
