Suppose the government imposes a $20-per-bottle tax on suppliers. At this tax amount, the equilibrium quantity of gin is ( ] bottles, and the government collects in tax revenue. Now calculate the government's tax revenue if it sets a tax of $0, $20, $40, $50, $60, $80, or $100 per bottle. (Hint: To find the equilibrium quant after the tax, adjust the "Quantity" field until the Tax equals the value of the per-unit tax.) Using the data you generate, plot a Laffer curve by using the green points (triangle symbol) to plot total tax revenue at each of those tax levels. Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically.

The following graph represents the demand and supply for blinkies (an imaginary product). The black point (plus symbol) indicates the pre-tax equilibrium. Suppose the government has just decided to impose a tax on this market; the grey points (star symbol) indicate the after-tax scenario.

In the market for candy, researchers have estimated the following demand and supply curves. Demand: P= 8 - Q/100 Supply: P= (3Q)/700 If the government imposes an excise tax of $0.50 per unit. What is tax revenue out of this tax? (Remember that the tax does not change the demand and supply curves).

1.Given the following information Qd= 240 – 5p Qs= P Where Qd is the quantity demanded, Qs is the quantity supplied and P is the price. Suppose that the government decides to impose a tax of $12 per unit on sellers in this market. What is the buyer’s price after tax?
Given the following information QD = 240-5p QS = P Where QD is the quantity demanded, Qs is the quantity supplied and P is the price. Suppose that the government decides to impose a tax of $12 per unit on sellers in the market. Determine Demand an Supply equation after the tax
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)..

Consider a country which taxes two goods, diamonds and bread. Each good has a supply elasticity of 1. The demand elasticity for diamonds is ηdd = −4; the demand elasticity for bread is ηbd = −0.25. In the market equilibrium, bread costs pb = $1 and a quantity of 100 is sold; diamonds cost $1000 and 10 are sold. Suppose a tax of τb = $0.50 is imposed on bread, and a tax of τd = $200 is imposed on diamonds. (a) What portion of the tax on bread is borne by consumers? What portion of the tax on diamonds is borne by consumers? (b) What is the deadweight loss from the tax on bread? What is the deadweight loss from the tax on diamonds? (c) Are these taxes optimal according to the Ramsey rule? If not, which tax should be increased and which should be decreased? (d) Are there any equity considerations which would argue against your answer for part (c)
Question 4 Consider the following supply and demand functions in a market: p=12-2Q p=2Q Suppose the government imposes a tax rate t*=4 on demand. Compute the total legal tax burden (incidence) on producers (after tax t* is imposed). (Enter your answer to one integer. For "8", you would write 8).
Draw a diagram where sellers have to pay a $X tax to the Government on each unit that they sell. Then this tax is decreased to $Y. Draw a demand and supply diagram showing this tax reduction causing an increase in Government taxation revenue. Please provide a written explanation for your diagram and discuss its policy implications. ( maximum word limit: 250 words)
