The following equations represent the inverse supply tunctions in the market for Good A: PC = 80 - 2 QD PP = 14 + QS where PC and PP are the %3D prices paid by consumers and received by producers respectively. QD and QS are the quantities demanded and supplied, respectively. Suppose the government is considering imposing a tax of $6 per unit of Good A. Compute the competitive market equilibrium price and output without the tax. Compute producer surplus and consumer surplus without the tax. Compute the competitive market equilibrium price and output with the tax. Compute producer surplus and consumer surplus with the tax. a) b) d) L.

The following equations represent the inverse supply and demand functions in the market for Good B: PC = 180 - 2QD PP = 40 + 2QS where PC and PP are the prices paid by consumers and received by producers respectively. QD and QS are the quantities demanded and supplied, respectively. Suppose the government imposes a tax of $8 per unit of Good B. What is the incidence of this tax on consumers and producers?
If the demand and supply curve for computers is: D = 200 - 5P, S = 40 + 3P Where P is the price of computers. Graph demand and supply curve by showing intersection points with both axes. Find equilibrium price and quantity. Calculate Consumer and Producer surplus by showing respective area on the graph. Analyze the market for computers if government imposes 1.2$ dollar tax for each computer sold by seller. Discuss the impact of this tax on the market and consumer surplus.
Given the following information Qd = 240 – SP Qs = P Where Qd is the quantity demand, Qs is the quantity supplied and P is the price. Suppose the government decides to impose a tax of $12 per unit on sellers in this market. Determine (i) Deadweight loss of the tax (ii) Total surplus after tax
Assume that the monthly demand for Gala apple in the US is given by q=1200-300p and quantity is in million pounds. The monthly supply of Gala is q= -200+400p for p>$0.5. Now assume that the government has imposed a quantity tax equal to $0.14 on each pound of apple. What is the new equilibrium consumer price, producer price and quantity?
Suppose the equilibrium price and quantity in a market are P=$3 and Q=40. If there is a ten cent tax placed on the sale of the good which lowers the equilibrium quantity to 38 units, what is government revenue in this market? $2.00 $3.90 $3.80 2.90
Question 8 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 economic tax burden (incidence) on producers (after tax t* is imposed). (Enter your answer to one integer. For "8", you would write 8).
The market demand for steel is QD = 240–6P and the market supply for steel is QS= –60 +4P. Government imposes a $10 tax per unit of steel bought by the consumer. a) Who bears the economic incidence of this tax?b) Why does one side take more burden of tax than the other side?c) Calculate the deadweight loss of a $10 tax per unit levied on consumers of steel.
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).

iven 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 the government decides to impose a tax of $12 per unit on sellers in this market. Determine the total surplus after tax.
Suppose that the demand curve for wheat is: Q=140-20p and the supply curve is Q³=20p. The government imposes a price support at p-$4.00. What is the deadweight loss if the government supports the price by purchasing excess supply? (Assume the wheat will be destroyed.) The deadweight loss is $(Round your answer to the nearest penny and enter the deadweight loss as a positive number.) Suppose the government is considering supporting the price using a deficiency payment program. What would be the amount of the deficiency payment? The deficiency payment would be $ and there would be a deadweight loss of $. (Round your answer to the nearest penny and enter the deadweight loss as a positive number)
Consider the market for commercial fans. The following graph shows the demand and supply for commercial fans before the government imposes any taxes. First, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity of commercial fans in the absence of a tax. Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer surplus (CS) at the equilibrium price. Next, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing total producer surplus (PS) at the equilibrium price. Suppose the government imposes an excise tax on commercial fans. The black line on the following graph shows the tax wedge created by a tax of $50 per fan. First, use the tan quadrilateral (dash symbols) to shade the area representing tax revenue. Next, use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer surplus after the tax. Then, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing total producer…
