The annual demand for liquor in a certain state is given by the following equation: Qp=500.000-20.00OP where Pis the price per gallon and QD is the quantity of gallons demanded per year. The supply of liquor is given by the equation Qs=30.000P. Now assume that a unit tax of 1$ is levied on the sellers of the commodity (i.e. statutory incidence is on the producers).

Suppose there is a market that has market demand characterized as X = 30P/3. Suppose further that market supply can be written as X = P/2 2. (A) Find the equilibrium price and quantity in this market. (B) If a unit tax of $16 is imposed on good X, what are the equilibrium price, quantity, and tax revenue in the market?(C) Suppose an ad valorem tax of 30 percent is imposed on good X. The after - tax demand equation would be X = 30 P/2. Now find the equilibrium price, quantity, and tax revenue in the market. (D) What can be said about the amount of tax revenue generated under each taxing scheme, and why?

If the pre-tax cost function for John's Shoe Repair is C(q) = 150+10g-2q² +0.333q³ and it faces a specific tax of $20, what is the profit-maximizing condition if the market price is p? Can you solve for a single, profit-maximizing q in terms of p? The proft-maximizing quantity in terms of p is q=(Property format your expression using the tools in the palette.

In an unregulated, competitive market we could calculate consumer surplus if we knew the equations representing supply and demand. For this problem assume that supply and demand are as follows: Supply P = 4 + 0.116Q Demand P = 25 - 0.10Q where P represents unit price in dollars and Q represents the number of units sold each year. Calculate the annual value of aggregate consumer surplus.

Question 2: Imposing a single-stage tax Assume that there are 1000 importers and manufacturers, 2,000 wholesalers, and 10,000 retailers. Each manufacturer (importer) has sales of $30,000,000 which is sold equally across wholesalers, and wholesalers put a 20% markup on the price before selling to retailers Then the goods are resold equally to 10,000 retailers and the retailers impose a 25% markup on it. Suppose the government needs to raise 4.5 billion with a single- stage sales tax, a. What would be the rate of tax the government needs to impose on the sales of importers and manufacturers to achieve the revenue target. b. What would be the rate of tax the government needs to impose on the sales of wholesalers to achieve the revenue target?
If the tax is imposed on the sellers, shouldn't the 'T' be used alongside the supply 'q' not the demand 'q'? So would it not be q=b(p-T)-a?
