18. Suppose that corporate income tax in Japan is 30% for large enterprises. And one of them is Nissan Japan. Assume that Nissan Japan places its electric vehicles (EV) factory in California, USA by setting up Nissan America. California charges enterprises with a 10% corporate (flat) income tax rate. Suppose the demand of Nissan EV in Japan is p=220-2Q (p: price in one hundred thousand yen, Q is number of EV per week). Costs of transporting EV cars from California to Japanese customers and taxes and fees related to export-import activities are assumed to be zero. Its production cost in California is constant at 20 per unit. If Nissan American sells EVS produced in California to Nissan Japan at its production cost, what are the combined net profits of all Nissans and total corporate income tax the Nissan Japan has to pay (per week)? (Note: Nissan Japan will use the transfer price as its marginal cost.) ONet profit=5000; Sum of corporate tax=1500 Net profit=3500; Sum of corporate…

Suppose an additional "special" tax of $0.10 per litre is imposed on the sale of gasoline in one province. Prior to the tax the price was $1.30 per litre and 10 million litres of gasoline are sold per day. After imposition of the tax, the new equilibrium price and quantity are $1.38 per litre and 9.6 million litres per day. What is the direct burden of this "special" tax?
The greater the price elasticity of supply and demand, the more the market volume decreases when excise tax is imposed. Therefore, the net economic loss is large, and the one with less price elasticity among consumers and suppliers is relatively pay less tax
