The Market: SUVS (sports utility vehicles) The Market price: $50,000. The Scenario: A tax of $2,000 is placed on the producers of each new SUV produced because they block visibility for others on the freeway. Assume a standard upward-sloping supply and downward-sloping demand in this market. What price do you expect after this tax of $2.000 is placed on SUV producers in this market? Between $50,000 and $52,000. O Less than $50,000. O $52,000 exactly. O $50.000 exactly. More than $52.000.

1. Suppose the demand curve for a product is given by Q = 300 -2P + 41, where I is average income measured in thousands of dollars. The supply curve is Q = 3P – 50. a. If I = 25, find the market-clearing price and quantity for the product.

(Hint: To find the equilibrium quantity after the tax, adjust the "Quantity" field until the Tax equals the value of the per-unit tax.) Using the data you generate, plot a Laffer curve by using the green points (triangle symbol) to plot total tax revenue at each of those tax levels. 0 Demand Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected.

The above below represents the perfectly competitive market for pumpkins both before and after the imposition of a tax on suppliers, which is represented by the shift of the supply curve from Supply 1 to Supply 2. Price ($) 8.50 7.25 5.50 B 700 a. $7.25 b. $8.50 A 1,200 Supply 2 Supply 1 Demand Quantity of pumpkins Based on the figure above, what will be the sticker price after the tax is imposed? Note: Since the tax is paid by suppliers, it has to be included in the sticker price paid by the consumer. C. $5.50 d. None of the other options are correct
Question 4 Suppose Home is a small exporter of wheat. At the world price of 100 US dollars per tonne, Home growers export 20 tons of wheat. Now suppose the Home government decides to support its domestic producers with an specific export subsidy of 40 US dollars per tonne. Use Figure 1 to answer the following questions: Figure 1: Supply and Demand for Wheat at Home Home price X 40 140 100 10 20 50 Supply Demand Quantity (a) Explain why consumer and producer surplus can be used to gauge the change in welfare caused by the export subsidy on individuals and firms. (b) What is the quantity exported by Home under free trade and with the export subsidy? (c) Calculate the effect of the export subsidy on consumer surplus, producer surplus and government revenue; depict each of these in a graph. What is the overall net effect of the export subsidy on Home welfare?

Market demand is P=125-(3/8)QMarket supply is P=5+(1/8)Q. This time the government imposes a price floor of $45. That is, the price must be either at or above $45.a. Calculate the new equilibrium price and quantity.b. Calculate the new CS (Consumer Surplus) and PS (Producer Surplus). Who gains? Who loses?What is the deadweight loss?
Price (dollars per pound) $21 18 15 13 11 0 40 $200 $100 $800 $60 80 Supply Demand Quantity (pounds) Figure 4-4 shows the market for tiger shrimp. The market is initially in equilibrium at a price of $15 and a quantity of 80. Now suppose producers decide to cut output to 40 in order to raise the price to $18. What is the value of deadweight loss when the quantity is cut and the price rises to $18?
The short-run demand and supply elasticities for oil are -0.076 and 0.088, respectively. The current price per barrel is $30 and the short-run equilibrium quantity is 23.84 million barrels per year. 1. Derive the linear demand and supply equations.2. What will be the effects on the market price and quantity if the government decides to purchase (and store away) an additional 2 million barrels of oil? Assume that the additional consumption of oil by the government results in a parallel shift of the supply curve to the left by 2 million barrels per day.3. What could be the economic rationale for buying and storing oil?
Correctly illustrate the market (supply and demand curve). Make sure to correctly shade the area of the tax. a) Washington state has a salmon market which sells salmon at a price of P. At that price, Q lbs. of salmon will be consumed in one week. Elasticity of supply: relatively elastic Elasticity of demand: relatively inelastic In addition, suppose Washington state were to levy an excise tax collected by producers.
