Suppose that a lumber-producing firm had a demand for the ability to burn sawdust given by: Q = 90- P. Where Q is amount of sawdust burned when the firm has to pay price (P) per unit of sawdust burned. Calculate the quantity of sawdust burned if there is a per unit tax of $26 per unit of sawdust burned. (Do not include a $ sign in your response. Round to the nearest 2 decimal places if necessary.) Answer: Check
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?

Question 22 If the goal is to have the smallest deadweight loss, then a $1 tax should be imposed upon: a a market with highly elastic demand and highly elastic supply. b a market with highly inelastic demand and highly inelastic supply. c a market with highly elastic demand and unit elastic supply. d a market with unit elastic demand and unit elastic supply.
2. The demand and supply functions of a gcod are given by P = -Qd + 125, 2P = 3Qs + 30. Determine the equilibrium price and quantity. Determine ako the effect on the market equilibrium if the govemment decides to impose a fixed tax of GHC5 on each good Who pays the tax? (p = 81, q = 44, then p = 83, q = 42) 3. If fixed costs are 18, variable costs per unit are 4, and the demand function is P = 24 - 2Q. Obtain an expression for n in terms of Q and hence sketch a graph of n against Q. a) For what values of Q does the firm break even? (q = 1 or 9) b) What is the maximum profi? (n = 32 at q = 5) 4. Given the supply and demand functions P = Q? + 12Q, + 32, P = -Qå - 4Qa + 200, Calculate the equilibrium price and quantiy. (p = 140, q = 6)
(a) Suppose in a competitive market, the market demand curve for salt is infinitelyinelastic. What is the impact of a per-unit tax (i.e. a specific tax) on the priceof salt that consumers pay? Suppose the demand curve for butter is Q = 50 − 3P and the supply curve isQ = 2P. Suppose the government announces a per-unit tax of 1 on the priceof butter. Tax on butter can be seen as a ’fat tax’. What is the overall effectof a fat tax on the consumers? Please do not use chat gpt and answer the best way it can be.
