Suppose the supply of a good is given by the equation Q1,200P-1,200, and the demand for the good is given by the equation Q-2,400-400P, where quantity (Q) is measured in millions of units and price (P) is measured in dollars per unit. The government decides to levy an excise tax of $1.00 per unit on the good, to be paid by the seller. Calculate the value of each of the following, before the tax and after the tax, to complete the table that follows: 1. The equilibrium quantity produced 2. The equilibrium price consumers pay for the good 3. The price received by sellers Equilibrium Quantity (Millions of units) Equilibrium Price per Unit Paid by Consumers Price per Unit Received by Sellers Before Tax The government receives After Tax Given the information you calculated in the preceding table, the tax incidence on consumers is on producers is per unit of the good. per unit of the good, and the tax incidence in tax revenue from levying an excise tax of $1.00 per unit on this good.

Consider two markets: the market for waffles and the market for pancakes. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $6.50, and the equilibrium quantity is 35.0. When the price is $9.75, the quantity supplied of waffles is 57.0 and the quantity supplied of pancakes is 101.0. For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for pancakes. Please round to two decimal places. Supply in the market for waffles is
You are the manager of a firm that receives revenues of $40,000 per year from product X and $80,000 per year from product Y. The own price elasticity of demand for product X is −1.5, and the cross-price elasticity of demand between product Y and X is −1.8.How much will your firm's total revenues (revenues from both products) change if you increase the price of good X by 1 percent?
Suppose the demand and supply for Xbox-One are: Qd = 500 - 2P, Qs = -100 + 4P . Assume that consumers demand 75 less Xbox units at each price. Also, a new tax has been imposed on foreign microchips, increasing the costs of production, and reducing supply by 35 units at each price Given this information find: a. CS0 = $ b. CS2 = $ c. PS2 = $

Demand function: QD=270−4P Supply function: QS=−70+4P Submit answers in two decimal places if you get answers in decimals/fractions (a) Find the Total Surplus. The authority is concerned about the increasing obesity rate in the country. Hence, they have decided to impose a tax of TK 5 per unit on soft drinks. Submit answers in two decimal places if you get answers in decimals/fractions (b) What is the total of new consumer surplus and producer surplus after government intervention?
The government wants to raise 25,000 dollars in revenue by imposing ad valorem taxes (t_x and t_y) on two goods, called X and Y. Assume each good has a perfectly elastic supply. The demand for good X is given by Qx = 7500 - 6Px and the demand for good Y is given by Qy = 2000 - 8Py. Suppose the suppliers of Good X require $40/unit and the suppliers of good Y require $25/unit. How should the government set the tax rates to minimize the excess burden of raising the desired revenue?

Which of the following statements is true? a) If the PED for a product is less than zero, the demand for the product is said to be inelasticb) If the PED for a product is greater than zero, the demand for the product is said to be elasticc) The flatter the demand curve the more inelastic the demand for the productd) If the product is a necessity, then the demand tends to be more inelastic The Consumer Surplus is a) the difference between what a consumer wishes to buy and what he can afford to buyb) the difference between what the consumer plans to buy and what he actually buysc) the difference between what the consumers is willing to pay for a product and what he paysd) the difference between what the consumer is able to pay and what he actually pays
Name a normal good, an inferior good, a set of substitute goods, a set of complements that are used in your household daily. For the normal good, make a (Hypothetical) linear demand schedule with 7 different price points and corresponding quantity demanded by your own household. For the same normal good, make another (Hypothetical) linear demand schedule with 7 different price points and corresponding quantity demanded by your neighbor. Assuming that you and your neighbor are the only two households in the market, make a market demand schedule for the same normal good. Draw and interpret a graph to show the market demand and impact of changes in quantity demanded if the price of the same normal good decreases. For the inferior good, draw and interpret a graph showing the demand curve and a shift in the curve if your income increases. For anyone good from the set of substitutes, draw and interpret a graph showing the demand curve and a shift in the curve if the price of the substitute…
The government of a State has been experiencing an increase in number of obesity cases. Research suggests an increase in consumption of a particular fast food item is responsible for high number of obesity cases. As a result, the government of that State is considering an imposition of $1 tax. Monthly demand and supply for this good are QD=21-1P and QS= -1+1P respectively. Draw the demand and Supply curve for fast food before the tax is imposed. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity, consumer and producer surplus, and label them on the graph. Calculate the price elasticity of demand and supply for fast food. If the State government imposes a tax, who will bear the most of the burden of the tax? Suppose that the State government finally imposes a $1 tax on fast food. What will the new equilibrium price and quantity? Include the tax on your graph. Calculate the consumer and producer surplus and label them on the graph. Is there any deadweight loss resulting from the tax on that…
For the demand function, q = 5p¬1/2 – 1, find the increase in consumer surplus that would arise if the price fell down from p = 4 to p = 0, that is, if it becomes a free good.
