True or False: The government can raise its tax revenue by increasing the per-unit tax on wine. True False Consider the deadweight loss generated in each of the following cases: no tax, a tax of $20 per case, and a tax of $40 per case. On the following graph, use the black curve (plus symbols) to illustrate the deadweight loss in these cases. (Hint: Remember that the area of a triangle is equal to x Base x Height. In the case of a deadweight loss triangle found on the graph input tool, the base is the amount of the tax and the height is the reduction in quantity caused by the tax.)

Question 4: Show mathematically the effects on the equilibrium price and quantity of corn from a per unit of tax of t=$2 collected from suppliers, where Qd= 20-2p and Qs= 3p-20. Determine the after tax equilibrium price and quantity. Also, draw a graph to show the new price and quantity (showing also how the tax shifts the supply curve). How much will be the burden of tax on consumer and suppliers? What is the tax revenue? What is the DWL of the tax?
To raise money for a new student union, the Student Snack 2.25 Bar charges a tax of $0.75 on each beverage. In the graph, Demand (500, $2.00) 2.00 the original demand curve for beverages is labeled (700, $1.75) 1.75 "Demand" and the shifted demand curve, which accounts for 1.50 the tax, is labeled "Shifted Demand." Use this graph to Shifted demand (500, S1.25) 1.25 answer the questions. Answer to the nearest cent. 00 For each soda, how much of the tax does the Student Snack 0.75 Bar pay? 0.50- Supply 0.25 1.75 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 Quantity For each beverage, how much of the tax do students pay? 1.75 ($) aoud

A province needs to raise money, and the premier has a choice of imposing an excise tax of the same amount on one of two previously untaxed goods: restaurant meals or gasoline. Both the demand for and the supply of restaurant meals are more elastic than the demand for and the supply of gasoline. If the premier wants to minimize the deadweight loss caused by the tax, which good should be taxed? For each good, draw a diagram that illustrates the deadweight loss from taxation
Illustrate, with the use of an appropriate figure, what the deadweight loss from the imposition of a sugary tax would look like.
The figure below shows a market of good C. Suppose that the government levied a tax on C. If the size of the tax is 10, how much is the after-tax equilibrium quantity? If the after-tax equilibrium quantity is 50, how much is the size of the tax? Quantity if tax = 10: Tax if quantity is 50:
Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge beer producers a tax. Before the tax, 20 million cases of beer were sold every month at a price of $4 per case. After the tax, 13 million cases of beer are sold every month; consumers pay $7 per case, and producers receive $2 per case (after paying the tax). The amount of the tax on a case of beer is per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is per case, and the burden that falls on producers is per case. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been the same as if the tax had been levied on consumers. True False

Suppose that the local government of Columbus decides to institute a tax on soda producers. Before the tax, 30 million liters of soda were sold every month at a price of $9 per liter. After the tax, 23 million liters of soda are sold every month; consumers pay $14 per liter, and producers receive $6 per liter (after paying the tax). The amount of the tax on a liter of soda is $ that falls on producers is $ per liter. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been smaller if the tax had been levied on consumers. True per liter.
