The imposition of a tax involves an “excess burden.” How would you show a similar result with a general equilibrium diagram (Note: With the general equilibrium diagram, you must be more precise about how tax revenue is used.) Figure 11.3 How Perfectly Competitive Prices Bring about Efficiency▸ DetailsQuantity ofY per weekPY₁Y*Efficient prices (slope = P*/P)Initial prices (slope = P1/P₁)C*U30X₁X*P'X'₁Quantity ofX per weekWith an arbitrary initial price ratio, firms will produce X₁, Y₁ ; the economy's budgetconstraint will be given by line CC. With this budget constraint, individuals demand X,Y', that is, there is an excess demand for good X(X-X₁) and an excess supply ofgood Y(Y₁-Y). The workings of the market will move these prices toward theirequilibrium levels Px, Pỷ. At those prices, society's budget constraint will be given bythe line C*C*, and supply and demand will be in equilibrium. The combination X*,Y* of goods will be chosen, and this allocation is efficient.

Consider the market for chocolate candy bars. Assume that it has “standard” supply and demand curves. Draw a diagram showing the market in equilibrium. Would we say that this is “efficient”? What does this mean in the context of the market model? justify. We would then like you to illustrate consumer surplus, producer surplus, tax revenue and deadweight loss in a market subject to a quantity tax diagrammatically. A similar exercise is illustrated in the Learning Materials. All you have to do is to construct an analogous case. Finally, it has been revealed that the government wants to implement the tax for public health reasons. That is, the government is not really interested in the tax revenue itself, but in reducing the consumption of candy bars to reduce obesity. Please provide answers to the following questions: Would this objective be better achieved for a market with elastic or inelastic demand? Why? Would your answer change if it transpired that the government only cared about…

Suppose you live in the United States and plan a vacation in London. You want to find the least expensive airfare ticket, so you request quotes from Independence Airline (a U.S. airline) and Queen's Airways (a U.K. airline).
Jane has 11 liters of soft drinks and 10 sandwiches. Bob, on the other hand, has 9 liters of soft drinks and 10 sandwiches. With these endowments, Jane's marginal rate of substitution (MRS) of soft drinks for sandwiches is 5 and Bob's MRS is equal to 7. Draw an Edgeworth box diagram to show whether this allocation of resources is efficient. If it is explain why. If it is not, what changes will make both parties better off? 1.) Using the three-point curved line drawing tool, draw an indifference curve for Jane when consuming 11 liters of soft drinks and 10 sandwiches. Label this curve Uj. 2.) Using the three-point curved line drawing tool, draw an indifference curve for Bob when consuming 9 liters of soft drinks and 10 sandwiches. Label this curve Uğ. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. Sandwiches 0₁ Jane 11 Soft drinks Bob OB 10 Q
President Biden has proposed a $2.2 trillion Infrastructure package to repair roads and bridges. The exact source of the funds is unclear at the time of construction of this exam, but some policy analysts think that at least one part of the funding will be an increase in the federal excise tax on gasoline. Suppose the size of this increase in excise tax is written as t. Using a graph and equilibrium, analyze and explain the impact of this t dollars per gallon increase in excise tax on gasoline. Which of the curve(s), if any, would shift, and why? Graphically, show the new equilibrium price and quantity (labeling it P1 and Q1). At the new equilibrium, please determine how much of the tax increase was borne by gasoline consumers and how much was absorbed by gasoline sellers? Indicate the incidence of taxation for both consumers and sellers on the graph and explain. What will determine whether consumers or sellers will bear a higher relative burden of taxation? Please explain in detail.
Suppose two bars, “the Last Jar” and “Prince Alfred”, can choose to sell a pint of beer for either $10 or $12. For simplicity, assume that: these are the only two possible prices; there are no costs (e.g., there is no cost for obtaining and serving the beer), and each customer drinks exactly one pint of beer. There are two types of customers: professors and students. Professors are not price-sensitive and go to the bar closest to their department’s building. Thus, 50 professors from the Melbourne School of Engineering go to Prince Alfred, while 50 professors from the Melbourne Graduate School of Education go to the Last Jar. Meanwhile, the students, who are 200 in total, are price sensitive. They go to the bar with the lowest price –or, if both bars charge the same price, then they split evenly. Sequential game: a) Suppose the Last Jar chooses what price to set first. Then, after observing the price set by the Last Jar, Price Alfred chooses what price to set. Draw the extensive form…
Suppose there are two consumers A and B, and two goods x and y. A's utility function has the following form UA = XA - (XB)1. Which of the following is true? Consumer A's consumption of good x exhibits a negative externality. Consumer A's consumption of good x exhibits a positive externality. Consumer B's consumption of good x exhibits a negative externality. Consumer B's consumption of good x exhibits a positive externality.
Consider the model of a rational consumer that cares about consumption of private goods and consumption of broadcast public television (a public good). Suppose that the total level of broadcast public television provided through voluntary contributions is 10 hours of programming. Then the government decides to raise money through a tax and provide 10 hours of programming to the public. What would we predict about crowd-out of voluntary contributions to broadcast public television when government does this? How would the answer change if consumers get warm glow utility from donating to broadcast public television in addition to utility from the public television itself? (Be specific.)

What are some markets (goods or services) where an equilibrium might not be the most desirable point? Meaning, if left alone, the market produces too much or too little compared to societal needs.
Consider a two-good exchange economy with two types of consumers. Type A have the utility function And an endowment of 3 units of good 1 and k units of good 2. Type B has the utility function And an endowment of 6 units of good 1 and 21 - k units of good 2. a. Find the competitive equilibrium outcome and show that the equilibrium price p* = p1/p2 of good 1 in terms of good 2 is p* = 21+k/15. b. Find the income levels (MA; MB) of both types in equilibrium as a function of k. c. Suppose that the government can make a lump-sum transfer of good 2, but it is impossible to transfer good 1. Use your answer to part b to describe the set of income distributions attainable through such transfers. Draw this in a diagram. d. Suppose that the government can affect the initial distribution of resources by varying k. Find the optimal distribution of income if (i) the SWF is W = log(MA) + log(MB) and (ii) W = MA + MB.
