Suppose the Canadian government has decided to place an excise tax of $20 per tire on producers of automobile tires. Excise taxes are also called sales or commodity taxes. Previously, there was no excise tax on automobile tires. As a result of the excise tax, producers of tires, such as Bridgestone and Michelin, are going to alter their tire prices. The graph illustrates the demand and supply curves for automobile tires before the excise tax. Please shift the appropriate curve or curves on the graph to demonstrate the impact of the new tax.

Suppose the supply and demand equation are given as follow: Demand: Qd=112-3*p Supply: Qs=22+1*p What's the equilibrium quantity?
In order to reduce farm output, raise farm prices, and thus raise farm incomes (revenues), the government pays farmers to set aside a portion of their land from production. Using a graph, explain in terms of the elasticity of demand for farm products why farmers may be better-off when harvests are low even if we ignore the money they receive from the set-aside program.
Economists in Champaign have been studying the local market for pizza. The market is described in the graph below: What is the price elasticity of demand(in absolute value) when the price changes from $7 to $5?(Round your answer to include 2 decimal places.)

The textbook discusses several things that determine how price elastic the supply of a good or service is. These are known as the determinants of the price elasticity of supply. Changes in these determinants can cause the elasticity of supply to change. The figure below shows a supply curve that starts out perfectly inelastic at S, and then becomes more elastic as it moves to S,, and then to S3. Which of the determinants of the elasticity of supply could this graph be representing? S. Price Quantity Determinant Represented by the Graph Drag appropriate answer(s) here time and the adjustment process %23 the flexibility of buyers change in income the flexibility of producers Drag appropriate answer(s) here Not a Determinant Represented by the Graph

Briefly describe the concept of demand and supply in economics.
Many professional sports teams increase their ticket prices every year, but they keep selling out their home games. Does this mean that tickets to sporting events are not subject to the law of demand (law of demand states that an increase in price leads to a decrease in quantity demanded)? Please give an explanation.
The linear demand curve is: Q = 100 - 4P The linear supply curve is: QS = -20 + 2P For each of the following questions, you need to show the basic calculation steps. 1) Given the above market demand and supply curves for the bottled wine in a hypothetical economy, please calculate the market equilibrium price and market equilibrium quantity for a bottle of wine. 2) If the government decides to charge an excise tax at the rate of 3 for each bottle of wine, what is the tax burden on consumers? And what is the tax burden on the firms? Show your calculation steps. B) Who shares more of the tax burden, the consumer or the firms? Please explain the reasons behind it.
Refer to Example 2.10, which analyzes the effects of price controls on natural gas. Recall that the free-market wholesale price of natural gas (PG) is $6.40 per mcf (thousand cubic feet), the average price of crude oil (Po) is $50 per barrel, and production and consumption of gas (Q) are 23 Tcf (trillion cubic feet). Suppose the price elasticity of supply of natural gas is 0.20, the cross-price elasticity of supply of natural gas with respect to the price of oil is 0.12, the price elasticity of demand for natural gas is -0.60, and the cross-price elasticity of demand for natural gas with respect to the price of oil is 1.25. If so, then the linear supply curve for natural gas is OA. Q=1.346-1.638PG +0.055PO B. Q=12.056+0.368PG -0.495PO- O C. Q=16.296 +0.495P + 1.638Po O D. Q=10.562 +1.066PG-0.327Po O E.

Illustrate and explain using a diagram how to imposition of an excise tax on petrol at the time of purchase A) affect the equilibrium price and quantity of petrol B) how the cost of this tax is distributed between the buyers and sellers C) illustrate and explain by using a diagram who will pay the cost of this petrol excise tax if demand for petrol is perfectly price inelastic.
Due to the government's program for developing alternative fuels, the demand for ethanol has increased dramatically. Ethanol is made from corn. Corn is also used as a feed for hogs. Simultaneously, many more cases of mad cow disease have been discovered in the United States. Assume that pork and beef are substitutes in consumption, but not in production. As a result of these two changes, what will happen to the price and output of pork? Briefly explain.
