Suppose that the demand for digital pianos is price inelastic and the supply of digital pianos is price elastic. By what amount will a tax of $1.00 per piano levied on buyers of pianos increase the equilibrium price paid by buyers of digital pianos? by $1.00 by less than $0.50 by more than $0.50 but less than $1.00 by more than $1.00
owing graph represents the demand and supply for pinckneys (an imaginary product). The black point (plus symbol) indicates the pre-tax ium. Suppose the government has just decided to impose a tax on this market; the grey points (star symbol) Indicate the after-tax scenario. Demand Supply 6.50 - B. 5.00 3.50 - E QUANTITY (Pinckneys) Complete the following table, given the information presented on the graph. Result Value Equilibrium quantity before tax Per-unit tax Price consumers pay after tax In the following table, indicate which areas on the previous graph correspond to each concept. Check all that apply. Concept B F Consumer surplus after the tax is imposed Producer surplus after the tax is imposed Deadweight loss after the tax is imposed PRICE (Dolars per pinckney)
Suppose an economist estimates the price elasticity of demand for sugary drinks is -4.2, while its price elasticity of supply is 1.2. If the government decides to impose a per-unit tax of $9 per can of sugary drinks sold, how would the market price of sugary drinks be affected? Show your calculation

Suppose a local government votes to impose an excise tax of $1.00 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 1900 bottles per day. After the tax is imposed, market equilibrium adjusts to a price of $1.80 and quantity of 1400 bottles per day. a. Draw the supply and demand diagram before and after the excise tax is imposed. 1.) Using the line drawing tool, plot the original and new supply curves and label the lines properly. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, indicate the original and new equilibrium points and label these points properly. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.

Following the tax, consumers pay a price of and the new equilibrium quantity is while sellers end up with Out of the $0.50 tax, consumers pay The disproportionate burdens of the tax reflect the fact that of the market. The deadweight loss associated with the tax is on each bottle sold, while sellers pay are the less price sensitive side
Doyle and Samphantharak (2008) find that when a 5% gas tax is implemented, prices consumers pay for gas increase by about 4%. What role does demand elasticity play in determining the size of this price change? That is, under what demand elasticity cases would the price change be closer to 5%, or closer to 0%? Illustrate and explain using supply-and-demand graph(s)..

9. Effect of a tax on buyers and sellers The following graph shows the daily market for shoes when the tax on sellers is set at $0 per pair. Suppose the government institutes a tax of $23.20 per pair, to be paid by the seller. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly. Hint: To see the impact of the tax, first enter the value of the tax in the Tax on Sellers field. Adjust the value in the price field to move the green line to the after-tax equilibrium so that quantity demanded equals quantity supplied.

Government-imposed taxes cause reductions in the activity that is being taxed, which has important implications for revenue collections. To understand the effect of such a tax, consider the monthly market for champagne, which is shown on the following graph. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly.

The following graph shows the daily market for wine. Suppose the government institutes a tax of $11.60 per bottle. This places a wedge between the price buyers pay and the price sellers receive.
