Suppose that the local government of Raleigh decides to institute a tax on soda producers. Before the tax, 25 million liters of soda were sold every month at a price of $11 per liter. After the tax, 19 million liters of soda are sold every month; consumers pay $16 per liter, and producers receive $7 per liter (after paying the tax). The amount of the tax on a liter of soda is 3 that falls on producers is per liter. per iter. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is 5 O True O False per liter, and the burden True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been the same as if the tax had been levied on consumers.

Suppose that the Gondwanaland Chairman of Production, who sets the governmental price floor for gosum berries, in an effort to assist the gosum berry producers to have a higher income, set the price floor at $70 per barrel. In that particular year, the amount of gosum berries produced at the $70 price floor was 700 barrels per month. To support the price of gosum berries, the Chairman of Production’s Office had to purchase 400 barrels per month. The accompanying chart and diagram shows supply and demand curves illustrating the market for Gondwanaland gosum berries.

Suppose that a lumber-producing firm had a demand for the ability to burn sawdust given by: Q = 90- P. Where Q is amount of sawdust burned when the firm has to pay price (P) per unit of sawdust burned. Calculate the quantity of sawdust burned if there is a per unit tax of $26 per unit of sawdust burned. (Do not include a $ sign in your response. Round to the nearest 2 decimal places if necessary.) Answer: Check
The following graph shows the weekly market for craft beer in some hypothetical economy. Suppose the government levies a tax of $40.60 per case. The tax places a wedge between the price buyers pay and the price sellers receive. PRICE (Dolars per case) 200 180 160 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 + Buyers Sellers Demand Before Tax After Tax Tax Wedge Supply 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 QUANTITY (Cases of craft beer) Complete the following table by filling in the quantity sold, the price buyers pay, and the price sellers receive before and after the tax. Quantity Price Buyers Pay (Cases of craft beer) (Dollars per case) Price Sellers Receive (Dollars per case) Using your answers from the previous table, calculate the tax burden that falls on buyers and on sellers, respectively, and calculate the price elasticity of demand and supply over the relevant ranges using the midpoint method.
