Suppose a local government votes to impose an excise tax of $0.90 per bottle on the sales of bottled water. (Assume that all bottles are identical and residents cannot shop elsewhere.) Before the tax the equilibrium price and quantity are $1.20 and 2100 bottles per day. After the tax is imposed, market equilibrium adjusts to a price of $2.00 and quantity of 1400 bottles per day. How much revenue from the tax does the local government collect each day?

Milan Italy is trying to control the price of face masks, and it isn't going well. On April 26 2020, Domenico Arcuri, special commissioner for the coronavirus emergency, announced that surgical face masks must be sold at a fixed price of 50 European cents plus tax. A good mask used to cost as little as 10 European cents, but prices surged after Covid-19. The Civil Protection Department, Italy's national body that deals with emergencies, promptly discouraged entrepreneurs from importing masks, right as more masks were needed. No one was allowed to import masks and sell them to the highest bidder. Now, there is a government set price and a shortage of masks and many pharmacists have stopped selling masks. Far from learning its lesson, the Italian government has suggested it will repeat its price-fixing mistakes by setting the price of N95 masks. The results won't be any better.
Assume that the monthly demand for Gala apple in the US is given by q=1200-300p and quantity is in million pounds. The monthly supply of Gala is q= -200+400p for p>$0.5. Now assume that the government has imposed a quantity tax equal to $0.14 on each pound of apple. What is the new equilibrium consumer price, producer price and quantity?

Fresh broccoli is really good for you, and the Surgeon General of the United States wants people to eat more of it. “People would eat more broccoli if it didn’t cost so much,” the Surgeon General says. So the Surgeon General proposes placing a price ceiling on fresh broccoli of $1 per pound, which is well below the market price of about $2 per pound. Will the price ceiling on broccoli achieve the Surgeon General’s goal of increasing the amount of broccoli consumed? Explain why or why not. (A properly drawn and labeled graph likely will improve your answer, but a graph is not necessary for full credit on this question.

Suppose a tax of $0.25 is placed on the market depicted below. What is the consumer surplus after the tax is imposed?
Question 3 According to the following Figure, please answer a-f 12 D According to this graph, how much is the consumer surplus when price is set at equilibrium (P = $8)? (use the area of triangle: Base x Height x ½) According to this graph, how much is the producer surplus when price is equal to its equilibrium level (P=$8)? (use the area of triangle: Base x Height x ½) In the graph, how much is deadweight loss at a price of P =$8 (equilibrium)? Now, according to this graph, how much is the consumer surplus when price is set below the equilibrium level at P=$5? (Use the area of a triangle and the area of a rectangle, length x length) According to this graph, how much is the producer surplus when price is equal at P= $5? (use the area of triangle: Base x Height x ½) In the graph, how much is deadweight loss at a price of $5? (use the area of a triangle) In all cases please show your calculations so I know how to arrive at those numbers! hp
